Image Bands/Corruption in CS5 When Editing out of Aperture

Not sure whether this issue is related to Aperture or just Photoshop, but I'm seeing some strange behavior in Photoshop when I edit an image out of my Aperture library.  Here are the steps I take to see the problem:
1. In Aperture (3.1.1) I right-click an image and choose Edit with Photoshop CS5.  This creates a new version in PSD format for editing, since I maintain my images in an Aperture library.
2. The image opens in Photoshop but the image is distorted.  I've attached an example:
Note that this issue goes away when I change the zoom factor from 33% to 100%.
I'm running:
Photoshop CS5 12.0.2
Aperture 3.1.1
OS X 10.6.5 (Snow Leopard)
15" Unibody MacBook Pro Intel 2.53 GHz Core 2 Duo
I've tried both video cards (High & Low performance setting in Energy Settings): NVIDIA GeForce 9400M and 9600M GT
Any help?

I can just recommend general trouble-shooting.
If the issue should be hardware-related (bad RAM for example), then it might be difficult …
Boilerplate-text:
As with all unexplainable Photoshop-problems you might try trashing the prefs (after making sure all customized presets like Actions, Patterns, Brushes etc. have been saved and making a note of the Preferences you’ve changed) by pressing command-alt-shift on starting the program or starting from a new user-account.
System Maintenance (repairing permissions, purging PRAM, running cron-scripts, cleaning caches, etc.) might also be beneficial, Onyx has been recommended for such tasks.

Weeding out bad fonts never seems to be a bad idea, either. (Validate your fonts in Font Book and remove the bad ones.)
If 3rd party plug-ins are installed try disabling them to verify if one of those may be responsible for the problem.

  • Why can't I see still images in the playback monitor when editing a video?

    Why can't I see still images in the playback monitor when editing a video? I have rendered the images in the project.  I checked my system to make sure it meets all the requirements for the software, no problem there.  When I "share" the project and save it as an MPEG, the images show up in WMP just fine.  But I need to be able to see what I'm doing to the stills while I am editing.  Help!

    Many thanks for the reply with the details.
    But, the key is missing...what version of Premiere Elements are you using? Are you using Premiere Elements 10?
    I hope not in this case, but if you are, we will tell you what needs to be done. The following is a copy/paste of the Announcement
    at the top of this forum about the Premiere Elements 10/NVIDIA GeForce issue.
    Premiere Elements 10 NVIDIA Video Card Driver Roll Back
    If you are a Premiere Elements 10 user whose Windows computer uses a NVIDIA GeForce video card and you are experiencing
    Premiere Elements 10 display and/or unexplained program behavior, then your first line of troubleshooting needs to be rolling
    back the video card driver version instead of assuring that it is up to date.
    Since October 2013 to the present, there have been a growing number of reports about display and unexplained workflow
    glitches specific to the Premiere Elements 10 user whose Windows computer has a NVIDIA GeForce video card. If this applies
    to you, then the “user to user” remedy is to roll back the NVIDIA GeForce video card driver as far as is necessary to get rid of
    the problems. The typical driver roll back has gone back as far as March – July 2013 in order to get a working Premiere
    Elements 10. Neither NVIDIA nor Adobe has taken any corrective action in this regard to date, and none is expected moving forward.
    Since October 2013, the following thread has tried to keep up with the Premiere Elements 10 NVIDIA reports

  • Image Bands/Corruption in Photoshop CS5 When Editing from Aperture

    I'm having some problems when editing Aperture images in Photoshop. When I choose an image I want to edit, it opens in PS CS5 with bands of corruption in the image. Now, I hate to use the term corruption, because when I zoom the image to 100%, the bands disappear, so the image isn't truly corrupted. You can see what's going on with the images here: http://gallery.me.com/drewje#100004
    I'm using Aperture 3.1.1 with RAW image formats and using an Aperture-managed library, not referenced. I've tried opening in Photoshop with both TIFF and PSD 16-bit formats with identical results. I'm using the high performance energy saver setting, to enable my NVIDIA GeForce 9600m video card in my first gen unibody MacBook Pro. I'm using version 12.0.2 of Photoshop CS5.
    I'm getting no help on the Adobe boards, so was hoping someone over here had some ideas or thoughts on how to fix this. Anyone?

    I'm just getting back to check on this thread now, but this does appear to fix the problem. I hate to call this "solved" because it's clearly a bug that exists, but it's nice that there's a workaround. I was just about to look at moving to Lightroom. I should be able to live with this.

  • Image blank with exclamation mark when editing

    I can see the image in the thumbnails but when I double click to open it, I get a dotted square with an exclamation mark in the middle. By using Find, I have located the picture - there are three copies- one in trash. When I try to move them back to the library, I still get the square with the exclamation mark. If my pictures are corrupted, is there any way I can restore them? I do not have backup copies.
    Thanks ahead for any help.

    Ilze:
    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. The "!" occurs when iPhoto loses the link to the original file. Run the three fixes below in order as needed:
    1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys depressed and follow the instructions to rebuild the library. Select all options.
    2 - rebuild the library using iPhoto Library Manager as follows:
    Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
    1 -Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
    2 -Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your User/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
    3 - Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File->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: It may take some time to create the new library if you have a lot of photos.
    3 - start over with a new library and import the Originals folder from your original library as follows:
    Creating a new library while preserving the Events from the original library.
    Move the existing library folder to the desktop.
    Open the library package like this.
    Launch iPhoto and, when asked, select the option to create a new library.
    Drag the Originals folder from the iPhoto Library on the desktop into the open Photo window
    This will create a new library with the same Events as the original library if you have the Finder checkbox unchecked in the Events preference pane.
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
    I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. Just put the application in the Dock and click on it whenever you want to backup the dB file. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
    Note: There's now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard.

  • Why are my images way smaller when exporting out of Aperture?

    I import my photos, work on them...it's going well...but, once I export them out to put them on a external harddrive, the photos are going from approx. 3 mb at 300dpi...to about 700kb-1mb at 300 dpi.
    I'm exporting them as jpeg at full size.
    I didn't crop them...I can't figure it out.
    Anyone has that issue?
    Thanks!
    IMAC G5   Mac OS X (10.4.6)  

    In Aperture on the menu bar go to Aperture >> Presets >> Image Export >> and check/adjust the image quality for your different presets or create new ones.
    Hope that helps.

  • Error message when compiling book "file is corrupt" referring to a photo.  Or "cannot find original photo".  Can you use photos that have been "edited" out of "Book Mode"?

    Error message when compiling book "file is corrupt" referring to a photo.  Or "cannot find original photo".  Can you use photos that have been "edited" out of "Book Mode"?

    I did copy it to my desktop, but it still won't let me open it.  I think the file on the disc might be corrupt or something like that though the cd itself checks out fine as far as viruses go.  I was able to verify the disc, but that's about it.  My husband tried it on his iMac and we have the same issue.  It's unzipping the folder, but won't let us open the folder on both the Mac Book Pro or the iMac by double clicking, going to file/open or right clicking.  It just keeps saying the same message as I posted above.  I think I'm just going to have the client put the pictures on either a memory card or a USB memory stick so she won't have to compress the files for zipping purposes.  It's been too frustrating trying to open this folder on this cd she gave me.  She said she created/zipped the cd on her Mac Book Pro but it sure won't open on mine.

    My Images won't open in Photoshop CS5 when I click on Edit in Lightroom - even though this option has been selected?  To edit in Photoshop I have to export image from Lightroom then import into Photoshop.  I have other programmes such as NIK and if I wish to edit in these everything works fine.

    Same here. I've never had trouble with this function before.
    It opens the Photoshop application with all the menus/windows, but it never opens the actual image I chose to work on.

  • IPhoto green corrupted screen in fullscreen edit mode when adjusting shadow

    I am using iPhoto '09 version 8.1.1 and was editing a photo in full screen mode. Operating system is 10.6.2 and the machine is a MacBook Pro 15" 1.83 GHz Intel Core Duo. Graphics card is ATI Radeon X1600.
    I moved to the next photo but then arrowed back and saw a screen similar to the image in the link below. It obviously looks like bad corruption with the video card. The strange thing is it only happens when I adjust shadows in full screen mode. If I alter exposure the photos are fine. Also this only seems to happen in full screen mode. If the photos are in a window then they look fine. If you reset the photo everything is normal.
    http://gallery.me.com/rsquires#100177/iPhoto%20Corruption
    It looks like a graphics card issue but it is a pain
    any ideas would be greatly appreciated
    It feels like something for a genius to look at, at an Apple store
    all the best
    Richard Squires

    I have a 2006 iMac with the same ATI Radeon 1600 card and a variation on the same issue - I get the "corrupted" image very similar to what you show, but it often occurs in iPhoto when editing in regular (not full screen) mode as well.
    Here is a shot from earlier today in non-full-screen mode:
    http://dl.dropbox.com/u/613804/BadiPhoto.jpg
    Same predominantly green mess. It also occurs in one other app, Times (news viewer). In both cases the behavior is quite random - I can edit many photos without issue, then all of the sudden this starts to occur. Even "re-editing" the same photo may give different results. Fortunately, the data is unaffected.
    I'd love a fix!

  • Iphoto blanks out when editing

    Another proof of why I have fear of Apple updates. On iPhoto, when editing a picture with Enhance feature it just blanks out (or blacks out) after using it, not for all pictures but most. Very frustrating. Any ideas out there? Thanks F

    What does that have to do with your fear of updates?
    There are several possible causes for the Black Screen issue
    1. Permissions in the Library: Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Include the option to check and repair permissions.
    2. Minor Database corruption: Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild.
    3. A Damaged Photo: Select one of the affected photos in the iPhoto Window and right click on it. From the resulting menu select 'Show File (or 'Show Original File' if that's available). (On iPhoto 11 this option is under the File -> Reveal in Finder.) Will the file open in Preview? If not then the file is damaged. Time to restore from your back up.
    4. A corrupted iPhoto Cache: Trash the com.apple.iPhoto folder from HD/Users/Your Name/Library/ Caches...
    5. A corrupted preference file: Trash the com.apple.iPhoto.plist file from the HD/Users/ Your Name / library / preferences folder. (Remember you'll need to reset your User options afterwards. These include minor settings like the window colour and so on. Note: If you've moved your library you'll need to point iPhoto at it again.)
    If none of these help:
    As a Test:
    Hold down the option (or alt) key key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Create Library'
    Import a few pics into this new, blank library. Is the Problem repeated there?

    When I use Preview,Photo Mechanic and Pages, all JPEG or RAW images appear corrupted.
    I thought my hard drive was failing and replaced it and migrated everything over but the problem still exists.
    It felt as if maybe a virus was at work but I ran Sophos and found nothing.
    I store images on my Drobo Raid system but when I work from my Macbook Pro I have no issues, just on the tower.
    Any idea what is going on?

    First of all, why did you say yes to Nero Back up before researching what it does with files already on the HDD? When I install Nero, the Back Up is the first thing I disable, it is a nagging pain, there are much better backup programs available. There are several file recovery programs out there to recover deleted files, that is, if that is what happened. Also, if you haven't overwritten the files, so you should be able to find them.

  • I want to get my original photos out of aperture and can't seem to find a way to do it, I can't locate an original folder, I understand that images I have edited won't be exported I just want to have a copy of my files out of the system

    I want to have my photo files all in one place.  I want them out of the Apeture libary structure.
    Thank you
    Joe

    Hello Joe,
    do you want to continue using Aperture or do you want to manage your images yourself?
    If you want to continue using Aperture, but to be able to browse your images without launching Aperture, then relocate your master image files:
    Select all images in the Browser
    Use the File menu:     File -> Relocate master        and select a folder, where you want to store the master image files.
    Be warned, that you must not edit, change, tag these files in any way, unless using Aperture itself to do the modification. Otherwise the link between master image files and version in Aperture may be broken.
    Make sure you have a working backup of your Aperture Library before you do that.
    But why do you want access to your images outside Aperture? Aperture as a digital asset management system is supposed to be able to manage you images in versatile a way, to give you access to all information you need. So what are you missing?
    Regards
    Léonie

    Hi Karen
    You may the sort set to Custom. Click the dropdown menu on the toolbar (to the right of the word sort) and change to capture time.
    If you can’t see the toolbar above the filmstrip press the T key. Press T again to hide.

  • LR saves unwanted tiff copy of image when "edit in" selects an external RIP - ImagePrint in this instance.

    Hi,
    Latest LR 5.7 installed.  I am printing with ImagePrint RIP which is accessed via "edit it" drop down under "Photo" menu selection.  LR makes a tiff copy of the image every time I print appending -edit###  [### is a number] each time.  I have checked with ImagePrint support an they do not send anything back to LR, so LR must be doing some sort of an automatic save.
    How can I stop this behavior that is clogging my archive?

    If there is a setting to avoid saving the tiff back in Lightroom, I cannot find it documented anywhere.
    I understand that the external "editor" needs to have a tiff file to edit or in this case print, but each time I open the original .NEF file or even a tiff file to edit in the external editor, and additional copy is made in lightroom with another '-edit989' or whatever the next sequential number is, is also saved in the catalog.  Thus you can have something like _A0009876-edit 734 - edit 735.tiff etc. accumulating.
    There is no need to save these TIFFs. but I'll be darned if I can figure out how to avoid this issue.
    Same also happens with SilverEFEX, IntensifyPro, etc.  I can't find anyone else that has noticed this behavior so I am stumped.  Any further ideas.

  • Scrollview only releasing image data when scrolled out of bounds

    Hi all,
    I cannot understand why my memory isn't released.
    On my iPhone program I have a tableview with an image in each cell. When the images are loaded the I can see a thread in Instruments with ObjectAlloc, that calls CALayerPrepareCommit about 10 times -> CGContextDrawImage->some more stuff->ripc_AcquireImage->more stuff ->imgdatalock. I assume this is where the OS actually draws the Image on the screen. But the memory is never released! Only when I scroll the tableview out of bound is the memory released. Visually the tableview is the same and the images are still there after the scrolling. This is a lot of memory and I need to know why it isn't released.
    I set the image in the tableview here:
    - (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath {
    UITableViewCell *cell = [tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:CellIdentifier];
    if (cell == nil) {
    cell = [[[UITableViewCell alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectZero reuseIdentifier:CellIdentifier] autorelease];
    cell.accessoryType = self.showDisclosureIndicators ? UITableViewCellAccessoryDisclosureIndicator : UITableViewCellAccessoryNone;
    //Clear previous content
    NSArray *subviews = cell.contentView.subviews;
    for (UIView *subview in subviews)
    [subview removeFromSuperview];
    //Set Image
    [cell.contentView addSubview:[thumbnails objectAtIndex:indexPath.row]];
    return cell;
    thumbnails is an array of views:
    while (thumbnailsRemaining && getThumbnails) {
    NSAutoreleasePool *pool = [[NSAutoreleasePool alloc] init];
    UIView *containerView = [thumbnails objectAtIndex:nextThumbnail];
    UIImageView *imageView = [[containerView subviews] objectAtIndex:0];
    NSInvocationOperation* imageOp = [[NSInvocationOperation alloc] initWithTarget:self selector:@selector(getImageForImageView:) object:imageView];
    [imageQueue addOperation:imageOp];
    [imageOp release];
    [imageQueue waitUntilAllOperationsAreFinished];
    nextThumbnail++;
    [pool drain];
    and each image is loaded here:
    - (void) getImageForImageView:(UIImageView *)imageView {
    NSAutoreleasePool *pool = [[NSAutoreleasePool alloc] init];
    UIImage *image = [UIImage imageWithData:imageData];
    [imageView setImage:image];
    thumbnailsRemaining--;
    [pool drain];
    I also have a scrollview with images and behaving exactly in the same way when scrolling out of bounds.
    I am really lost, so any help is appreciated.

    When a cell is scrolled out of the visible area, UITableView normally adds it to the reusable cell queue, so that's why you aren't seeing that memory released. I think the queued cells might get released under low memory conditions. You might want to try Hardware->Simulate Memory Warning on the Simulator.
    In any case, see if this link is helpful: [http://idevkit.com/forums/tutorials-code-samples-sdk/2-dynamic-content-loading -uitableview.html].
