Distribute horizontally in light table shuffles pics

All pics are same height. I put them in sequence I want, align tops, then distribute horizontally...and they get shuffled in not particular order (that I can see).
Have others had this problem? Is there a work around?
Thanks

Actually the behavior is pretty logical -
The primary selected image in the set (the one with the thick white border) will end up on the left of the set. The rest will stay where they are sort of. If you want them to remain in the same left to right order just select them all from right to left, this will cause the last one selected to be the primary selection.
Hit me back if I wasn't clear on this.

Light table in Keynote 3

In the light table view in Keynote 3 you can rearrange the order of slides. But is there any way I can reorder the slides vertically, instead of horizontally? I would like to arrange them from top to bottom in light table view.
Thanks,
norris

Norris,
no, there's no way to to reorder the slides vertically.
You could send feedback to Apple and request an option to arrange the slides from top to bottom.

Icons in light table view?

In light table view, some of my slides have blue triangles at the bottom right, others do not. Some have three horizontal lines in the top right, some do not.
What do these icons stand for? Do they have an interactive function? Nothing seems to happen when I click/right click.
Thanks.

The blue triangles in the bottom RH corner (also visible in Navigator view) indicate that you have a transition for that slide which affects the next one. The three horizontal lines in the top RH corner indicate that you have Presenter notes for this slide. And the three dots in the bottom LH corner indicate that you have builds on this slide.

Printing Light Table

My first attempt to print a four image Light Table was very frustrating. In spite of my repeated efforts to tweak the images, and in spite of the set looking fine in the preview, the print out was clipped.
Thanks
Mike

Per,
First off, before describing my Light Table woes, let me say that my wife and I lived in Arhus in 1968-1969. While I love photography, my "day job" here in Los Angeles is as a dentist; and I did research in the Tandlægeskole.
Anyway, all I can say is that I selected four images--horizontal--all the same dimensions and arranged them on the Light Table having confirmed the set up in Preview.
I was using 8.5"X11" paper and the images are about 4.75" X 3.25"
Each time the right edges of the right-most images were clipped off by about 2.5cm. I finally gave up on Aperature after about 6 tries, and printed them out using Photoshop.
Thanks
Mike

Light Table: Image Sizes?

Is there any way to specify the exact sizes of the images placed on a Light Table?
I have a multi-frame I want to print pics for, and a Light Table is a perfect way to print multiple images per page… but I can't seem to figure out how to make, say, one image 3x3 and another one 6x4.
Make sense?
Any ideas?

The only print option in aperture that allows to exactly control the size and position of images is the Book. In the layout options for the pages you can set the dimensions of the photo boxes and align them accurately. I sometimes use the photo book design to arrange photos for printing, i.e. if if I want to have captions as well. I start with a page design, that has only one photo box and addas many additional boxes as I need.The only drawback is, that you have to pick the correct when printing - you will not want to print the covers of the book as well.

Use of time series functions with horizontally fragmented fact tables

Hi Guys,
in OBIEE 10g it wasn't possible to use time series functions [AGO, TO_DATE] on horizontally fragmented fact tables. This was due to be fixed in 11g.
Has this been fixed? Has somebody used this new functionality? What the the limitations?
Tkx

Hello,
Can you give us some examples for "horizontally fragmented fact tables", we can tell you whether we can do that or not?
Thanks,

Problem with Light Table in Bridge CS6

Hi! After a re-install (which didn't fix the problem with PS), I now find that, when using the light table in Bridge CS6 and after hitting the space bar, if I then click on the image, it goes to 800% size! Prior to the uninstall & re-install, it worked perfectly in taking images to 100% size.
Hope someone can help.......
Thanks, Wardie

Why did you reinstall photoshop cs6?
What operating system are you using?
Did you reinstall all the updates for photoshop cs6 by going to Help>Updates from within photoshop cs6?
After you enter the light table, use your mouse scroll wheel to zoom back to 100% and exit the light table.
The next time you go to the light table and click on the picture it should only go to 100%.

Keynote '09 Light table view causes crash on Retina MacBook Pro

I just discovered a problem with Keynote '09 (V. 5.1.1, build 1034) on my MacBook Pro 15'' Retina (2.7 GHz Intel Core i7; 16 GB RAM, 1600 MHz DDR3, under Lion version 10.7.4). More often than not, when I go into "Light Table" view, Keynote suddenly crashes with a dialog box quickly flashing on and off, so rapidly that it cannot be read. The only way out of Keynote when this happens is to Force Quit. This does not happen on any of my other Macs (MB Air, iMac, older MB Pro). I suspect it has something to do with the Retina display model. Any advice?

More about my post: Actually, I since discovered the problem occurs on another computer running Snow Leopard and appears to be unique to this one Keynote document. I solved my own problem by copying the screens from the allegedly-corrupt document to a new document. There is no problem with Light Table mode in the new document. Never had this problem with Keynote before, which I've been using more than any almost any other app since 2006 in connection with my work.

Can't save light table as pdf

Having an issue where I have about 45 images (all jpgs) on a light table, and when I click on print light table, and either 'save as pdf' or open as 'PDF in preview', aperture constantly gets stuck on processing, without ever creating the PDF.
If i highlight just one image, it will create a pdf containing one image, but if I highlight all (or none) then Aperture just sticks in the processing stage, to the point where I have to Force Quit out of aperture.
I know the PDF's it creates are typically huge, but I even let it run for an hour + last nite, and it still did not create one.
Anyone else having a similar issue?
current configuration:
iMac 2.8ghz 4GB RAM NVidia GeForce 8800GS
500GB Hard drive, files in question are stored in the aperture library.

I have a faster system (3.06 GHz) and slightly better graphics card (GeForce 9400) and it was choking on the almost 1gig pdf file that was created from a 48 image Light Table. It did create the file though even though it looked like it wouldn't. When I got it open in preview, I reduced the file size to 2 mb using the quartz filter in the Save dialogue box.

Horizontal scroll in table

Hi all,
How can I implement a horizontal scroll in a table?
NW 7.0 SP 15
Thanks,
Michael Beilin

Hi Michael,
Put table in the transparent container.
Select appropriate scrollingMode property for your container for displaying in view. By default, scrollingMode value is none*.
By this, you can achive horizontal scroll in table.
Thanks

Aperture Light Table - Poor image quality

I am using the Light Table function in Aperture (3.4.5.) and I had an issue with the quality of the images on it, when zoomed in or scaled to fit.
The quality of the (larger spread) images looks poor. As if I zoomed in on a thumbnail.
I was looking for a discussion on this and saw some (archived) threads. None of them solved.
However, I think I have found a workaround.
If you get this situation, you can select the image(s) on the light table and regenerate the preview.
Option-click Menu => Photos => Generate Previews
(note: if you don't use the Option key, you will get Menu => Photos => Update Previews and Aperture may say (unjust) that the preview is already up-to-date).
That solves the poor image quality look.

I just remade the same book - as a test - in the extra large hardback format (ie. the one I used for the previous publication, last year).
This time, the pictures are fine. The images appear to be the same quality in the PDF as the originals - much, much better. The size of the file has increased massively too > up from just 2.6MB to 52.8MB.
So does the books production function work well only with the biggest, most expensive option?
I'd really appreciate some feedback from anyone who's tried the different sizes, and preferably some brilliant ideas to make them all work equally well.

Weird graphics artifacts when using light table

I'm seeing strange flashing shapes and pixels when I move photos around on a light table. Doesn't affect performance, just visually very bothersome. Using new MacPro w/ 8800GT. Wondering if anyone else is seeing this behavior on light tables??
-Nelson

I also have the same problem, only different circumstances. I've noticed there are several websites that I can go to that yield this issue, and for me the fix was to go into the Energy Saver system preferences and uncheck the Automatic Graphics Switching box. An example of an issue I'm currently experiencing is:
Visit http://www.macsimumnews.com/index.php/archive/applepatents_hint_at_final_pro_changes_and_or_new_media_presentationsoftw/
then click on the Reader button and the Safari window background gets all mangled. Click on the reader button again and it all goes away. Now repeat with that system preference turned off and it won't do it anymore.
Please advise if you can reproduce this. (Oh, this obviously is only for 2010 MacBook Pros that have that system preference option in the first place).

Thumbnails in Navigator and slides in Light Table sizing?

can the thumbnails in the Navigator view be made larger and the same thing in the light table view... can these be made larger too?
Thank you

Unfortunately, as far as I've been able to tell, and from what I've read online, you cannot resize the thumbnails in the Navigator window or the Light Table. Hopefully at least the Light Table view will gain this functionality in the future.
Sorry!

Question on Light Table behavior

I am wondering if it just me and a couple of others who are seeing pixelated images in a Light Table in 3.1.1?
Situation:
With Aperture 3.1.1 set to all defaults in Preferences, I create a new light table (either empty or with pre-selected images) and then drag images to the light table.
The images are small on the table. They appear to be lower quality than the images in the filmstrip to begin with. Resizing the images exagerates the problem and reveals unclear and/or pixelation.
I have done a clean install of Aperture 3 and updated to 3.0.3 and the issue does not exist. Light Table images are fine whether resized or not.
*What I have tried so far:*
1 - Clean install of OS X 10.6 and updated with 10.6.6 combo installer (repaired disk permissions once installed), then install Aperture 3 and updated to 3.1.1 (repaired disk permissions once completed). Import new images from Nikon D80 (both RAW and JPEG) and tested light table. Same issue. Then imported new .cr2 files from a friend's Canon, which all had the same issue.
2 - Copy APTS lesson files and library to drive > open with Aperture 3.1.1 (upgrade library when prompted). The existing images in that library behave correctly in Light Table, but newly imported images into that library display the image degradation / pixelation in light table.
3 - In all cases, I have tried to delete / generate Previews as well as Thumbnails. None of these have sorted the issue.
Note - it almost appears to me that the images used on the light table are actually small thumbnails that are low quality on the light table and any subsequent resizing pixelates the image.
Note #2 - the strange thing in all cases is that using the loupe tool and panning over the images in the light table shows high-quality image.
I am trying to determine if it is my machine (or procedure) specifically, or if there are others experiencing this in large numbers.
I have 8 GB RAM and the nVidia 8800 GT upgrade card in my machine. Whether just Aperture 3.1.1 is installed or with all my normal software, no difference in Light Table behavior.
Looking for comments as to whether users have no issues like this or any who do.
I have already sent a report to Apple.
Thanks in advance for any comments.
Corky

SP,
I do not think this is intended behavior, as it works as expected in AP 3.0.3.
I sent a bug report via the feedback function in the Aperture menu and will follow up with a second one. I was hoping that other users would chime in as to whether they were experiencing the issue, or if it is working correctly on their system. Unfortunately, there has been no response other than yours as you can see.
There are two other threads since the release of 3.1.1 where 3 or 4 other users are having the same issue (at least as far as the pixelation / low resolution image issue).
On my system, the default size of the light table changed between 3.0.3 and 3.1.
In 3.0.3 the light table starts off smaller (with larger grid squares as if zoomed in) and dragging the images onto the table show the same quality image on the table as in the filmstrip. In 3.1 (and 3.1.1) the light table starts off much larger (with smaller grid squares as if zoomed out) and dragging an image from the filmstrip results in a smaller sized thumbnail showing on the light table at the lower quality.
I have also been going back through the 'Apple Pro Training Series - Aperture 3' book using the included library and lesson files (to test for functionlity with AP 3.1.1 and iPhoto '11) and I find that in lesson 3 where the light table is used, the same issue appears once you resize one of the images next to smaller images (which results in the three smaller images being lower quality than the resized image).
My guess is that the thumbnail / preview function connected with the light table sizing is creating an issue where the light table is using a smaller thumbnail when it should be switching to (or using from the beginning) a preview for quality. The fact that the image viewed under the loupe tool is high quality lends to this theory - IMHO.
I am hoping that this is fixed in 3.1.2 (if they release an update), since I would like to use the light table for layout decisions and for comparing multiple images. The bad image quality sort of shoots this function in the foot for me.
The only real fix is to revert to AP 3.0.3 and forego the 3.1.1 improvements which really isn't a fix.
To any others reading this post, could you please indicate whether the light table image quality is fine for you or whether you are experiencing the bad quality / pixelation issue I am? It would help me in discovering whether this is machine (hardware) specific or a wider issue.
Thanks in advance for any help.

Light table question

I would like to take a layout that I make on the Light Table and export that layout to use on a webpage. I see I can export the images to the web but I would like to keep the layout intack and not just sent the individual images. I would also like to make a background color.
dual core Mac OS X (10.4.9)

You can do it, but not very directly.
1. Lay out your light-table.
2. Go to print it, but save to PDF rather than printing.
3. Import the PDF into Photoshop, choosing a suitable rsolution.
4. You now have a layered file with all the images on one layer, and can now add a different colour background as needed.
5. Export in some web-friendly format.
