Focus Delay When Viewing iPhoto Images

When I open up images in iPhoto there is a few seconds before the pictures snap into focus. I am running a 2009 macbook pro with 4gb of ram and SSD. I have tested this on many different macs and the problem is always the same.
I am working with Pentax RAW files and it is more noticeable when viewing full screen. It is pretty annoying having to wait a few seconds to see my pictures in focus.
Does anyone else have this issue? Thanks!

Yes it is slow with RAW files. My iMac is the latest model and I noticed after I switched my camera from JPG to RAW that now the files take a few (more like 5) seconds before they snap into focus.

MacBook Pro Retina "Gets Hot when viewing RAW images"

MacBook Pro Retina Gets really Hot when viewing RAW images - somebody has this issue? Solutions?

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
First, download Temperature Monitor and tell us the temperatures of the MacBook > http://www.bresink.de/osx/TemperatureMonitor.html
The MacBook Pro with Retina display is made of aluminum, so it's normal that it gets hot. However, if the temperature inside is very high, fans will turn on automatically. If this doesn't happen, it may have a hardware problem

Media Viewer - iPhoto image titles?

Hi,
In iWork '05 all iPhoto images in the media viewer were titled. This was extremely useful for me as I do commercial greeting card production using pages and use images achieved numerically in iPhoto for quick import into Pages when fulfilling orders.
But I have noticed that since upgrading to iWork '08, there are no longer titles under my images when viewed in the Media Browser.
Any ideas how to turn titles back on?

Hi Will,
Do a Control click on the photos then choose Display as list. Now you'll see three columns, Name, Date and Size. You have Show Columns that give you two more options, Dimensions and Kind
Hope this helps you
Sincerely,

Safari on rMBP has 200% zoom level by default when viewing standalone images.

I have a MacBook Air 13" Mid 2010 and recently purchased a MacBook Pro with Retina Display 15" Mid 2012. I have updated Safari to 6.0 on both machines, but here comes the problem when I use Safari to view a standalone image on my rMBP.
Normally when I view a standalone image on Safari, the zoom level is 100% which means I see the actual pixeles of the image. Once you open an image in a new tab or a new window, if the dimensions of the image is bigger than the window, let's say 5000x4000, the dimensions of the image will be adjusted to fit within the window. And then the cursor becomes a tiny circle with the "+" sign inside (sorry for my poor description, I hope you can get it) which is the zoom icon, by clicking the image you zoom to the actual pixels of the image which shows 100% of the image.
However this works on my MBA but it doesn't on my rMBP as the zoom level is 200% by default. The following web pages are the ones where I found to have the same problem and they have better explanations:

https://twitter.com/jayrobinson/status/214443964516937729
Sorry for the long post, but I just wonder if there is a way to fix the problem or if Apple can do it?

I've seen this reported before -- sometimes PSE needs to have the zoom set to even multiples of 25%. You can try searching Adobe's site to see if anyone has found a solution.

Audio/video delay when viewing (ex: youtube)

whenever I try to view an online video for example on youtube or any online video lesson, there is a several second delay stammering through the whole thing. I dont have any updates needed.
help?

Thanks for your trying to help me out.......
The problem with your answer seems to indicate that it is normal for one to exit an entire app (in this case, Safari) just to exit viewing a YouTube clip. Then you would have to go back to Safari, go to your mail, then find where you were up to! It it not like Apple to design stuff this way; there must be another way!

Why does Firefox crashes when viewing Google Images?

I was having six tabs open, one is an online pdf and two are from Google Images while the rest are forum tabs. The Firefox (ver 19 which I'm using currently) lags whenever I search for images using Google and in seemingly random occurrence, it will cause the Firefox to immediately crash with no warning. I had lost a significant portion of my time in composing emails and searching for information due to this unexpected error and it had occurred for past three versions of Firefox for me, pointing at the same initial triggers, having Google Images tab open. Checking the crash reporter reveals nothing as it stated "EMPTY: no crashing thread identified; corrupt dump." I hope the Mozilla team would immediately rectify this problem as it's quite annoying--and time wasting.

As a test launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and create a new, test library. Enable Photo Stream for the library test to see if the same problem persists. Does it?

Delay viewing archivelink images held in SAP content server

Hi,
We have implemented an indexing solution utilising SAP Archivelink and Content server. We are noting considerable delays when viewing documents, this only happens for the first document in a transaction and can take up to 6 minutes to display a document. As our users have a person on the telephone at the time this results in alot of smalltalk which is not desireable.
Does anyone know of any performance issues related to document storage in content server?
Many Thanks,

Help with viewing raw images in iPhoto 6

Hi:
When viewing raw images from my camera (a Canon 20D) in a large or full screen format, after about 5 seconds I see at least a dozen tiny white dots on the image. These occur 100% of the time.
If I "retouch" the image and save it, they go away.
Also, they never appear if I shoot and import JPEGS from the same camera?
Is this a bug in iPhoto 6 and, if not, can someone explain or help me with this?
Thank you!

I have the same camera so i checked out the raw images--sorry no spots show up.

CSS/JS Error when viewing images

Just thought I would drop a line to the Web-guru's at Apple HQ: when viewing an image on a 13" Macbook Screen, the image is centred to far right.
From WebKit Inspector:
<div class="jive-modal" id="lb_image_wrapper" style="left: 50%; margin-left: -11px; z-index: 1002; visibility: visible; display: block; position: fixed; top: 50%; margin-top: -272.5px; "><a class="j-icon-close jive-close" href="#"></a><img id="lb_image" src="https://discussions.apple.com/servlet/JiveServlet/showImage/2-15006478-1360/Scre en+shot+2011-04-17+at+9.52.35+AM.png" style=""></div>
The left:50%; causes the modal to appear too far right and is not allieveted with the margin-left:-11px; technique.

This is based off the MooTools framework (which is my background. I am a user, not a developer of).

var imgDimensions = $('lb_image').getSize();

var totalWrapperWidth = $('jive-modal').getSize();

var marginLeft = (totalWrapperWidth.x/2)

$('wrapper').setStyle('margin-left', -marginLeft); //[note the ( - )]
If you get the idea, I'm sure the boffans can make it "just work".
Nice theme name btw

How to view an image @ 100% ?

When I do some editing in iPhoto, especially sharpening, I'd like to see it @100%.
There is no indication at what % I'm viewing the image.
Is there any way to know that ?
When clicking "edit" on the bottom, at what size the image opens?
Thanks!

ok, I found an Apple article from 2007 which explains how to do that. I'm posting it here for others:
===================================
iPhoto: Sharpness adjustment may not be apparent when viewing at less than 100 percent
Last Modified on: July 13, 2007
Article: 301425
When you view an image at less than full size, iPhoto smooths it (a technique known as anti-aliasing) to get rid of artifacts that result from scaling down the photo. The relationship between anti-aliasing and sharpening is a trade-off; although anti-aliasing does not modify the actual image file, it does counter the effect of sharpening when viewing the image at less than full size.
Because of this, if you sharpen a photo, close it, then reopen it again at a less than 100-percent view, you may get the impression that your sharpness changes were not saved. In reality they were, but since the image has been re-aliased to fit your screen, the image's true sharpness may not be apparent.
To evaluate whether an image is sharp or needs sharpening, you should view the photo at 100 percent/full size while editing in a separate window. To open the photo in a separate window, you can either Control-click the image and choose "Edit in a separate window" from the shortcut menu, or change your iPhoto preferences:
From the iPhoto menu, choose Preferences.
In the General pane, locate the preference for "Double-click photo."
Set the radio button to "Opens photo in edit window."
Close the preferences window.
Now photos will open in a separate window when you double-click them. Once in the separate window, choose 100% from the Size pop-up menu. If you don't see the Size menu, widen the window until it appears.
Tip: If you are editing the photo from one of the other view options, you can press the 1 key to quickly jump to 100 percent view.
Other applications, such as Adobe Photoshop, handle anti-aliasing differently, so the degree of apparent sharpness can vary from one application to the next when viewing an image at a scaled-down size. You should see consistency when comparing the image at 100 percent across other applications.

Dates of images different (incorrect) when viewed in Finder to iPhoto

I want to give to family some images (stills [JPEG] + video [AVI] - all taken on my Pentax camera) to view on their Windows computers. The dates within iPhoto display correctly in the 'Information' window on the left whenever I click on an image. However, whenever I view these same images in Finder (either having 'Exported' the images to a "holding" folder in my Documents folder, or I simply view these same images in iPhoto Library via Finder), the dates are different (incorrect), and there is no consistent pattern in the 'differing' dates. Some images' dates in Finder are vastly different to the date & time the images were shot, and other images display just a few days difference in the dates(?!).
The historical dating of the family images is important for the future, so I really want to be sure that the dates will display correctly for the people viewing the images on their windows computers. As they obviously won't be using iPhoto I would hope that it will still show the correct date when they view the individual stills and raw video footage (not sure how they will view it, but presume I will burning these images to a DVD to share with them). *Can someone advise me if dates of the images will be correct when viewed on the Windows computers?*
Cheers,
Lehla

You are confusing the photo date which is part of the iPhoto database and is stored in the EXIF fields of the photo when exported and the file date which is what the finder other file management programs see
As long as you view the photo EXIF dates they will be the same inside of iPhoto and outside of iPhoto - the file date will change each time you create a new file

WHat do i do!!!!!! Is this some type a virus???? my mac is protected!!!!! tried to chat with an IT person but they keep asking if its like a tech problem and it is just iphoto

You should get your keyboard checked as it's repeating on a lot of keys and makes you look silly.
There are 9 different versions of iPhoto and they run on 9 different versions of the Operating System. The tricks and tips for dealing with issues vary depending on the version of iPhoto and the version of the OS. So to get help you need to give as much information as you can. Include things like:
- What version of iPhoto.
- What version of the Operating System.
- Details. As full a description of the problem as you can. For example, if you have a problem with exporting, then explain by describing how you are trying to export, and so on.
- History: Is this going on long? Has anything been installed or deleted? - Are there error messages?
- What steps have you tried already to solve the issue.
- Anything unusual about your set up? Or how you use iPhoto?
Anything else you can think of that might help someone understand the problem you have.

My apple TV will not show my iPhotos travel photos in sequence. I set up a sequence of photos that STAY in sequence when viewing in iPhoto on my iMac, but they do not show in sequence when my Apple TV shows them on my TV screen. My Apple TV is MC 572C/A

My Apple TV will not show my photos in iPhoto on my iMac in the same sequence of images that I can see when viewing the iPhoto photos on my iMac. This is especially frustrating when I try to show my travel pictures in sequence on my TV. I have to resort to showing them on my iMac which defeats the principle purpose for purchasing my MacTV. Does anyone have a solution?
My Apple TV is Model MC 572C/A and the software is 5.2.1 (6025)
My iMac is Mac OSX version 10.7.5
THANKS!
Doug May

I can't recall whether slideshows are ordered by title or date, but you can manually re-arrange the albums in iPhoto, then batch change them once you have the order you want.

Cannot view horizontal images in Iphoto

All of the my photos are viewable in Iphoto as thumbnails, but when I try to view the horizontal photos from the thumbnails I get a grey screen with an Exclamation point in the middle instead of the actual photo... The photos I previously turned vertical are opening fine... Also, I can open/view all images when not in IPhoto... How do I fix this?

I got it to work... I had been adding my modified images to the modified folder in iphoto, instead of putting them in their own folder... once I removed the photos I had added, everything started working as normal... Thank-you for your help! I would have never figured it out...
