Exported JPGs with patch have Big Black Box - ugh

I've seen a few other threads related to this, but I haven't found a solution: when I export a JPG that's been patched in Aperture, I get terrible corruptions - check out this example. It seems to happen every time. I'm on a 24" iMac with an upgraded video card and 2GB RAM, using RAW images from a D70 exported as mid-size JPEGs. Anybody got a fix/idea/something for this? Or am I going to have to clean my lenses more often ??

1.5.2 says it addresses image export, but it doesn't state which bug(s) corrected.
I haven't exported a bunch of images since, but I was plagued with this under 1.0-1.5.1.
Workaround (for affected images):
Go into full screen. Pause for a second
Export image
(I run Activity Monitor to show CPU activity)
Wait until CPU activity drops to baseline
Go on to next image.
For really stubborn (i.e. lots of spot/patches), I would use zoom to 100% and scroll around the whole image to ensure it was all held in memory at full res.

  • I just upgraded to iPhoto '11.  When it was finished many pictures do not appear.  I have a black box but the information for the picture is still there.  Some are raw and some are jpeg.  Also lost all albums.  Can anyone offer assistance?

    I just upgraded to iPhoto '11.  When it was finished many pictures do not appear.  I have a black box but the information for the picture is still there.  Some are raw and some are jpeg.  Also lost all albums.  Can anyone offer assistance?  Using iOS 10.7.5

    Apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
    Fix #1
    1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
    2 - run Option #4 to rebuild the database.
    Fix #2
    Using iPhoto Library Manager  to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
    1 - download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
    2 - click on the Add Library button and select the library you want to add in the selection window..
    3 - Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the Library ➙ Rebuild Library menu option.
    4 - In the next  window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
    5 - Click on the Create button.
    Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments.  However, books, calendars, cards and slideshows will be lost. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

  • I have these black boxes around my active pages, but I have voice-over disabled, any help?

    I have these black boxes around my active pages, I looked online for pointers but they all pointed to me disabling my voice-over in the universal access option on system preferences. My voice-over wasn't enabled and the boxes are still here, any help?

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    Step 1
    The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
    Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. For instructions, launch the System Preferences application, select Help from the menu bar, and enter “Set up a guest account” (without the quotes) in the search box.
    While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your personal files or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
    Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem(s)?
    After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
    *Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault in Mac OS X 10.7 or later, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The Guest login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
    Step 2
    The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login.
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode* and log in to the account with the problem. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
    Be sure your Mac is shut down.
    Press the power button.
    Immediately after you hear the startup tone, hold the Shift key. The Shift key should be held as soon as possible after the startup tone, but not before the tone.
    Release the Shift key when you see the gray Apple icon and the progress indicator (looks like a spinning gear).
    Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs.
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    *Note: If FileVault is enabled under Mac OS X 10.7 or later, you can’t boot in safe mode.
    Test while in safe mode. Same problem(s)?
    After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of steps 1 and 2.

  • I have these black boxes surrounding things, e.g., there is a black box around the red "close" button on the upper left corner of this page.  There is also an oblong black box

    Hi - I'm not only having trouble waking up my MBP from sleep and having to restart repeatedly which is a pain in itself, but now when it restarted, I have these black boxes surrounding things, e.g., there is a black box around the red "close" button on the upper left corner of this page.  There is also an oblong resizable black box sitting on top of anything.  The content changes depending on the actions I take.  Right now it says, "You are currently on a close button.  To click this button, which closes the current window, press Control-Option-Space."  Right now I'm open in Firefox, but it doesn't matter if only Finder is open, it's still there.  I've tried closing all my applications and restarting and I also reset the PRAM.  It won't go away.  It's probably something simple, but I don't know how to get rid of it.  Any suggestions are welcome.
    Thanks,
    Janet

    Thanks so much.  I saw this on "desktop strangeness" immediately after I posted and tried to retract my question.  It worked perfectly.  I'm not sure how VoiceOver got turned on unless something happened when I was trying to wake up the computer.  I open the lid and it flashes whatever is open and then the screen goes black and I can't wake it up.  Still looking for the resolution to this.

  • I want to highlight various words in a pages document with a yellow or black box behind the text

    I want to use a highlighter in Pages. I know how to do it in steps.. but would like a shortcut to highlight various words throughout the document with a yellow or black box behind the text.. help

    I got another idea. Create a style with the text and background colour you want. You can apply a short cut for that style. Beware that the styles is only for that particular document but you can import styles or you can use Save as Template and keep it as a template.

  • HELP My font list doesn't appear in FCP X.  All I see is a big black box with no fonts.

    When I go to change my font on a title in FCP X - all I get is a big translucent black box with no listing of my fonts.  As I move my mouse within the empty black box, the fonts do appear to change in the title, but I can't see the fonts's names etc.  Is anyone experiencing this problem???  ANy way to fix this????

    Have you tried trashing your preferences?
    Unexplained faults like this can often be fixed by clearing out FCP X's preferences (for some reason, they get knotted up from time to time).
    Download Digital Rebellion's Preference Manager (free, simple to use, and perfectly safe, both to download and use).
    http://www.digitalrebellion.com/prefman/
    With Preference Manager, you can backup the Prefs when FCP X (or any of the Apple Professional Applications) are working normally. Then when either of the applications are acting strangely, Trash the Preferences, then Restore from your backups (just a mouse-click).
    If you trash the prefs and don't restore them, you will need to manually restore all your FCP X settings again, so it's a great idea to backup Preferences from time to time when FCP X is working well, then your backups are up to date.
    Doesn't fix every problem, but it fixes a lot.

  • I just put up a new iWeb website and firefox is putting BIG BLACK BOXES around all my photos. Why has this not been fixed yet? I have to tell everybody who views my site NOT to use Firefox. This is unacceptable. Please fix ASAP. This is my site below.

    with 3.6.19 it works well, no black boxes
    with 5.0.1 there are black boxes

    You will have to wait for Firefox 6 to get this fixed. It is a bug only in Firefox 5. That bug existed when the Firefox 5 code was split off and Firefox 5 didn't get the fix that later version got.

  • Anyone else have the black box of death with codes on your screen? (DVR)

    I've manually reset and still get this black box with codes on my TV sceen. It blocks out 90% of the screen.  I've also tried the online reset and they "cannot process" my request at this time!   The code is <00815BAC> [DCE2].  It's definitely DVR-related - my non-DVR TVs work fine.
    Anyone have any ideas what the problem is?  (thanks)

    Hello,
    First, make sure that you have the latest Firmware updates installed. Refer to the article at:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=86117
    This will list all the available firmware updates for each machine.
    If you already have the latest firmware update installed, and are still having this problem, then I would suspect bad memory first.
    Try removing any expanded memory you have installed (leaving the factory memory installed) and see what happens.
    There were a lot of marginal memory modules sold before OS X was released.
    Many of these modules would work perfectly fine, and then fail completely once you installed (or tried to install) OS X 10.0
    This was a huge issue back then. Many people discovered that their memory modules were just slightly out of spec, and needed to be replaced with proper modules that were produced exactly to spec.
    Perhaps this is what is going on with your system.
    Since you have been using 9.2 on that machine, your expanded memory (if you have any) may be slightly out of spec, but was not noticed by OS 9.2.
    Hope this helps.

  • ? I opened the "get started" page and "How to edit a photo-" but I just see a big black box and some text and no way to work with anything. I downloaded the photos and opened them and there they are.

    Is there supposed to be a video in that black box?

    Yes those are supposed to be videos. I can see them now. These videos are hosted on Youtube. Some people have experienced temporary issues but later have been able to view the videos. I suggest coming back and trying again, or try another browser.

  • Problem with .png images being black boxes in InDesign

    Hello,
    I'm hoping someone might be able to help me with a problem I'm having with some .png files.  When I try to place certain .png files in my InDesign document, they come in as just black boxes.  The .png files are created by a third party application, (EditLive w/MathFlow)  But if I view the .png files in Fireworks or other image viewers, they appear to be fine.  I have tried looking at the image properties inside InDesign, to see if by tweaking them it might work, but I am not a graphic designer by trade so my knowledge is rather limited.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Specs:
    Windows XP
    CS4 Suite including:
         Adobe InDesign CS4
         Fireworks CS4
    Thanks,
    Josh

    That worked!  Mostly.  The little preview box on the file upload dialog still shows a black box.  But when the image is placed inside the doc it looks perfect.  Well, as perfect as the .png can look.
    Is there any way within InDesign to "ignore" the alpha channel or whatever of the graphic?  I have access to the IDML as well as the normal application interface & the SDK through the InDesign Server.  I'd prefer not to be reliant on opening the image in another tool, as we have a large number of images to process some times & it could get annoying.  If not, I can try contacting the 3rd party group that is generating the .png & see if they can better handle the alpha channel when they're creating the image maybe...
    And thanks for the quick responses!

  • Big black box where file chooser was, can't close or remove

    I have a problem with Dreamweaver on my mac.
    I have a Macbook running 10.6.2 with 4gb ram and plenty of HD space.
    I am running DW CS4 Version 10.0 Build 4117. I have run both the Adobe updater and the Mac OSX undater.
    Here is a screen grab of the Black Box that appears.

    And a screen cast showing what happens.

    I have trashed the Cache file as per.
    http://forums.adobe.com/thread/494811
    One thing to note is that this problem does not occur in a different user account.
    Only in my main account.
    In my test user account there are no problems.
    Any ideas?

    Okay. With the folllowing one:
    "Warning! The registry setting used by the iTunes drivers for importing and burning CDs and DVDs are missing. This can happen as a result of installing other CD burning software. Please reinstall iTunes."
    ... this was probably caused by them clearing the device filter drivers in your registry. (That's a fairly standard troubleshooting step with a boot-up failure.) If it's not fixed by getting iTunes properly installed again, we'll attend to it later on.
    First we'd better get an itunes installed.
    "The path C:\Documents and Settings\All users\Application Data\Apple Computer\Installer Cache\iTunes 7.1.1.5\iTunes.msi cannot be found. Verify that you have access to this location and try again or try to find the installation package "iTunes.msi" in a folder from which you can install the product iTunes."
    Hmmmm. I'm thinking that your Windows Installer got confused by the general recovery efforts too.
    Let's try the following procedure to try and get a fresh itunes in there.
    First, head into your Add/Remove programs and uninstall your QuickTime. If it goes, good. If it doesn't, we'll just attend to it when we attend to iTunes.
    Next, download and install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. Use it to clear any existing iTunes and/or QuickTime installation configuration information from the PC. (Launch Windows Installer CleanUp, find any iTunes and/or QuickTime entries in the list of programs in CleanUp, select those entries, and click “remove”.)
    Description of the Windows Installer CleanUp Utility
    Next, use the the following document as a guide for manual removal of leftover iTunes and QuickTime program files:
    Removing iTunes and QuickTime for Windows
    Now try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time? If so, does itunes launch properly, without the "registry settings" message?

  • Exporting JPGs with their Original Filename

    So, I have these sets of cropping documents with images laid out in them taking up the entire frame, no text or anything else. At the end of the day, I need to export the crops with the original JPGs' naming convention. Right now, I am going through, exporting and then renaming. Sometimes I get sequential images with the same prefix in the same document which is super easy. However, other times there are images with different prefixes, a couple image numbers missing, or even the sequence being out of order. I was wondering if there was a way(maybe a script) out there that would allow me to export JPGs of each page while using the placed JPG's filename. So if page 1 had a JPG named image_1 and page 2 had a JPG named image_4, when I export them, I'd end up with two files, image_1 and image_4.
    It might sound silly, but it would be super helpful when exporting documents with 30+ images, sometimes laid out in the incorrect order or with different prefixes. Any one have any ideas? Or even if it would be possible?
