How to find brush adjustments?

Been using Lightroom for years. I've owned Aperture for a good while but I'm pretty new to using it.
My question is: How do I locate adjustments made with brushes? In Lightroom, there's just one local adjustment tool, and I can click it and see all the little "dots" on the photo indicating where I've brushed on an adjustment. Is there a way to do something similar in Aperture?
Specifically, I made some adjustments to a photo, and I think I'd like to delete one of them, but I can't figure out how to delete just that one. In some other photos, I'd like to see if I made any brush adjustments or not.
Thanks in advance,
Will

There is no keyboard shortcut to switch between brush overlays, like the 'o' key in Lightroom.  I sorely miss that.  I would suggest you use Aperture's "send feedback" mechanism to suggest that.  The more the merrier :-)
I checked Automator and AppleScript reference -- there is nothing there that (afaict) allows one any access to either the Brush HUD or any of the commands available from the Brush HUD.  I also tried to get the commands by recording my actions with Keyboard Maestro -- nothing but the location of the click relative to the program window.  Agree with William:  "Aperture➞Provide Aperture Feedback".
That said, one of the _brilliant_ aspects of Aperture (imho ) is the constant and judicious subordination of possibility under what seems to me to be this rigorous test: does this lead directly to _useful_ feedback?  Aperture is almost always and almost everywhere consistently image-centric.  It is not about using a computer, or about what you can do -- it does not give you digital wings that allow for intellectual flights of fancy.  (A "soft" example: a preponderance amount of the controls in Photoshop are dedicated to making and refining selections, which must be done prior to acting on the selection.  Aperture's selection tools are, in comparison, either radically reduced or irresponsibly under-developed.  I go with radically -- intelligently, deftly, logically -- reduced to those that work for a photographer developing digital photographs to be seen by human viewers.  I _love_ that human/humanist core.  It is not a scientific tool -- it is an artistic one.  {When I do science, I use Photoshop.})  I do not want to see this pointed purposefulness undercut by features which crowd the user with secondary information.
The hierarchy in this case is that using/disabling an already-made adjustment (via the checkbox on the Brick) is more important, and closer to the user than examining the shape and depths of the adjustment mask.  The question the user is supposed to ask is -- again, strictly imho, from years spent working with this software -- "How does the Image look?" (and not, "What's the adjustment mask cover, not cover, look like, etc.).  It is conceivable -- and important to realize -- that one could make the most of the adjustment brushes without _ever_ seeing any of the brush masks.
OK.  Turning off my own mic now.

  • How to find out the PATTERN, GRADIENT and BRUSHED objects?

    How to find out the PATTERN, GRADIENT and BRUSHED objects information in illustrator active document file. And also how to find the CMYK and RGB color information in illustrator file through javascript. Could you please provide any examples.

    I tried using the below code. But for both "cmyk" and "grayscale" pattern it gives only CMYK. Kindly check and advise.
    Code:
    var docRef = activeDocument;
    for(var i=docRef.inkList.length-1;i>=0;i--){
      var inkRef=docRef.inkList[i];
      var inkRefName=inkRef.name;
      alert(inkRefName);
      alert(inkRef.inkInfo.kind);
    Thanks for looking into this.

  • Very slow export on images containing brush adjustments

    I'm currently on the trial version with Aperture and I enjoy the software so far. One quite annoying issue is that it seems that images containing brush-adjustments take ages to export into any format. When exporting the images to PS4 it hangs totally.
    Images with only global adjustments export just fine. Also drag/drop an image (even with adjustments) out of Aperture onto the desktop for example works perfectly fine with no issues. Exporting the same into a smaller jpg onto the desktop takes minutes.
    I did all the usual fixes, like deleting .plist files, rebuilding/repairing libraries and so on, but nothing did the trick.
    Does anyone have an idea how this could be fixed?
    update: and yes... I do have the feeling that this is a newer problem. Can it be related to the "pro-application" update recently? Because I have the feeling that prior to that it worked just fine...

  • Discoverer Report: How to find Business Area name from Report Name.

    Hi
    I opened a report in Disco Desktop 4 -> Resonsibiolity --> Report Name.
    So I know Report name but don’t know which Business Area it belongs to.
    How to find Business Area Name from Report Name?
    Cheers
    Vijay

    Hi,
    There is no relationship between reports and business areas. Each report can be built from many folders. Each folder can be in many business areas.
    However you can try the following SQL which may give you the result you want for an v5 EUL. You will have to modify for Discoverer 4 EUL:
    select distinct doc_name, obj.obj_name folder_name, bas.ba_name
    from eul_us.eul5_documents doc
    , eul_us.eul5_elem_xrefs xref
    , eul_us.eul5_expressions exp
    , eul_us.eul5_objs obj
    , eul_us.eul5_ba_obj_links bol
    , eul_us.eul5_bas bas
    where xref.ex_from_id = doc.doc_id
    and doc.doc_name = &your_report
    and xref.ex_to_id = exp.exp_id
    and obj.obj_id = exp.it_obj_id
    and bol.bol_obj_id = obj.obj_id
    and bas.ba_id = bol.bol_ba_id

  • How to find a specific word in sentence in each line?

    How to find a specific word in sentence in each line and output will show start from the beginning from specific word plus with small description from each sentence?
    For example: I need to find a "+Wednesday+" and "+Thursday+" word in each sentence by line by line from "myfile.txt".
    Go ballet class next Wednesday.
    On the Wednesday is going to swim class.
    We have a meeting on Thursday at Panda's.
    Then it will show the output:
    Wednesday : ballet class
    Wednesday : swim class
    Thursday: meeting at Panda's
    I am going to figure out in Java console to read from a file for specific word from each line and how to make it output in correct way. I know already to make input/file codes.

    I got it and understand much better. Thank you very much. There is a problem with it because I knew how to make
    a specific word in sentence but how I should make Output for specific word and some words from sentence.
    For example:
    Input:
    +"On Thursday go to ballet class"+
    +"Swim class on Friday one time a month at 2 p.m."+
    I used the codes for that:
    class FindSchedule{
         String firstline = "On Thursday go to ballet class ";
         String secondline = "Swim class on Friday one time a month ";
         FindSchedule(){
              System.out.println(firstline + findTheIndex("Thursday", firstline));
              System.out.println(secondline + findTheIndex("Friday", secondline));
         public int findTheIndex(String word, String sentence){
              int index;
              index = sentence.indexOf(word);
              return index;
         public static void main (String[] args){
              new FindSchedule();
    }The output will be:
    Thursday: ballet class
    Friday: 14:00 swim class one time a week
    Notice that time is changing in output complete different from input.
    I need to find out how to extract some words from each sentence for output. Do you know how to do it?

    Thanku

    String path = application.getRealPath("/WEB-INF/profiles/username");
    Note sure why you need this, but you don't need the real path to read the file - you can get an InputStream using the relative path. See ServletContext getResource() and getResourceAsStream().

    Look for program SAPICSS_ in your system and run it. This program can also be found under CMOD menu:  Utilities -> SAP enhancements.
    This will only give you the CMOD user exits.
    There is a program someone made that searches for all sorts of user-exits (including BADI's etc.). I remember that it was posted on sapfans.com

    How to find out the FICO user exits that are used by user.

    Go to tcode CMOD. In the project field drop down your list there. Put a Z* there and run the list. These should be all the exits that are activated. Search for the ones that pertain to FI. You can also search by development class. You need a little ABAP knowledge to search easily. You get this by going to the tcode then to status then to the program then to the attributes. There you find the development class. Ie FBAS.
