Image Persistence on the new 23"

Just returned a 23" to the Apple store, Manchester, UK for the image persistence problem that seems to have started with the screen updates a few weeks ago. We tried another one in the store but that too did the same thing.
Just having the apple home page open for a couple of mins leaves a big black box behind where the new ipod/pirates image is. This doesnt happen on any of the cimema displays we have at work, purchased before the update/price drop.
I can understand why this wouldnt be a problem for watching movies or playing games but having something open for a while, say a black and white image in photoshop leaves impressions of the picture and all the different photoshop pallets and tool boxes once photoshop is closed.
I hope Apple can fix this problem or I can no longer buy these screens for professional work.

My ACD has no image persistance. However it suffer from really bad backlight bleed.
Backlight bleed is really only noticable on a dark background. Although if you pay attention you can notice elsewhere too. Like on mine, the top left is really bad. I can see the washout on my app windows.
Basically it is a manufactuering defect where the backlight isnt properly placed and portions of it "bleed" or "leak" washing out those portions.
It is very noticable when watching a widescreen dvd. My black bars are almost completely washed out to a light gray/white color.
To test for it, pop in a widescreen DVD. Full screen and pay attention to the bars. You will know it when you see it. Another way to test is an app called LCD Test which can be found on macupdate.com
When you get that on your mac, load it up and run the dead pixel test. Use these colors to check for dead pixels. The last image is an all black. This is where backlight bleed will be the most evident.
Check out this thread for an example: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=2912322?
I just initiated a replacement for my ACD. I will give Apple three chances before I take my cash elsewhere. Hopefully I get a near perfect one this time around.
On a side note, is there anyway to get Apple to send a new display with a label for my old one, and then send that one back? I really dont want to be without my display for more than a couple days. No Apple Store around me either.
I thought I have heard of them doing this before.

Image persistence on New 24" LED Cinema Display - Quick Reply needed please

Hi
I have a new 24" LED Cinema display - delivered 14 days ago today (hence needing a quick reply!).
Yesterday I noticed image persistence down the entire left hand-side of the screen - should this happen on such a new display?
Should I return it / take it back?
Thanks for any advice.
For what it is worth the image persistence is the left-hand column of the iTunes window - I can read the entire column from the top where it says "Music" down to the "Selected item" that appears above the album artwork window.
I do use iTunes a lot but certainly nothing out of the ordinary and often in reduced size mode or behind other windows. (i.e it does not sit in the same place all the time).
Since I took the screen out of the box the screen-saver has been set to turn on after 15 mins and the Energy Saver is set to turn the screen off after 20 mins (i.e I have taken screen saving measures).
Finally, I have done the "display an all-white image on the entire display" as per here http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2807) and after six hours of this the problem has improved, but certainly not gone away.
So, to return, or not to return, that is the question.
Many thanks.
Rob
PS - I bought this online at Apple Store - if I do return it, could I do this in person at physical Apple Store, or do I have to do it online?

I've had this same problem on my 24" iMac for some time (it's still under my AppleCare warranty, but it began doing this long ago). I searched these forums a year ago and never found anything about this, so I'm glad I found these posts here today.
I guess it's time to haul mine back into the store. Also I note that my screen has developed some dark areas, as if the fluorescent backlight has become irregular.

Is it still possible to soften an image in the new Keynote?

Hi all,
The 'adjust image' panel used to have a 'sharpen' filter which ranged -100 to +100. This made it possible to soften (blur) an image.
In the new Keynote, the range is 0-100. Is there a new way to soften images or is this another 'missing feature'?
Thanks,
M

Hi Gary, thanks for your reply.
When moving the slider, the image does change sharpness.
However, I can only make the image sharper, not smoother, since the slider no longer goes into minus.
Smoothing an image was really useful before adding it to the background.

Finder not recognizing images properly (maybe overwriting new w/old)

I am experiencing an odd and troubling issue with my 15" MacBook Pro (running Mavericks). This occurred on Saturday and I thought I was crazy, but now it has occurred a 2nd time (sort of) and I'm alarmed that this is indicative of some major issues with my machine.
I'm working on a design project where I'm asked to create images for a mobile web page based on an old set of images. The new images need to be the exact same size, dimensions and filename as the old images so that the developer can swap them in easily.
For that reason, I've downloaded the old set of images to my desktop, created new images and am overwriting the old images. (I am saving Photoshop files for my new images in a Dropbox folder --- it is just the final exported files that I am writing to the folder saved on the desktop.)
So here I am, 99% finished and I go to look at the images in my finder. When I do, I see that the images displaying are the old, overwritten images instead of the new ones. There is no chance that I'm just not opening the correct folder or anything like that.
At first, I thought the files themselves were being overwritten by their old versions, but it appears that maybe it is just the finder thumbnail image that isn't displaying correctly. When I actually open the file using Preview, it opens the correct image (new, not old). You can see an example in the screenshot attached. The old image (thumbnail) is the moneyroll. The new image is the man and the woman.
At least the file itself appears to be correct, though I have no idea what happens if I zip these up and email them to another user on another computer. Still, I'm concerned that this suggests there is something really wrong with my machine.
By the way, the incident I referenced on Saturday was much more troubling. It was an issue where I worked on a Dreamweaver file for 2+ hours, saving constantly before closing it. The next time I opened it later that day, it opened the old version. I thought maybe it was due to me changing the name of a folder or something and wrote it off as human error. But given what is taking place today, I'm not 100% sure that is the case now.
Has anyone encountered this? Any insight would be much appreciated.
Thanks.

Yup. Thomas, have you tried replicating this in the other direction? In Terminal you can make a folder, chown it to root, get the permissions to the same as those of /Applications/Utilities, then as a normal user, try dragging something
into that folder? I have - this is replicable.
This is a real bug - worked ok until 10.7.2, then broke.
I have worked around this bug by changing the permissions on my Applications and Applications/Utilities folders so that my account has write permission there without authentication. But that not ideal from a security standpoint.
If any developer out there could fire a Radar report off on this, I'd be much obliged.

HT5455 image persistence problem on Macbook Pro Retina 15"

Is it a faulty or normal behaviour if we see an image persistence after 5 minutes ( less than 15 minutes "Default setting of Energy Saver while using Power Adapter" to sleep/ turn off the display of Macbook Pro Retina 15 inch)?
Today, the Technical support checked my screen using the gray.html and it did not appear. And She said it is a normal behaviour to have an image persistence, because the retina bla bla bla (i don't remember exactly) and just dont leave the laptop too long.
http://r238.local/display/gray.html
Just now after playing a Chess (appx 30 minutes) , and run that test. The image persistence appeared and I guess I need to make appointment again..
Any solution and suggestion?
or We will stick with what the technical support said "Normal Behaviour" ?

What exactly is the difference between the new photos app for mac and iPhoto? i'm very confused...

Ever since i've bought my macbook pro i used iPhoto to organize my photos. Now apple added this new photos app and i don't really understand what is it meant for? can someone please explain me the difference? I'm very confused about the purposes of both apps....

Photos is a completely new designed photo application, designed for Yosemite and the MacOS X versions to come. Many differences are under the hood. It uses the new system libraries and frameworks for more efficient image processing on the new powerful macs, like the mac pro, it is extensible by app extensions, if other developers will add functionality, and most important, it brings integration with iCloud Photo Library. With Photos you can store your photo library in iCloud and sync it across all devices.
Some features are still missing however, and you can continue to use iPhoto, if you like. Or create a small Photos library for testing and explore Photos, while keeping your main libraries in iPhoto.

Withe the new photo upgrade, why can't I edit in Photoshop anymore?

External Photo Editors are not supported in Photos. You can export any photo to the Desktop and then pass them the Photoshop for editing and reimport them.

Export/Import the new Theme from Apex 2.2

Ok, I am so very sold the new theme 15 in Apex 2.2 after 1 day playing. I really want to use it in the new app I am going to build very soon. Export/Import does not work at all because all the images whatsoever are NOT there. May somebody let me know how to do this? or can we do it?
Thanks in adavnce.

Hello,
I'll see what I can do about providing a zip of the images directory for the new themes, it's not my call though. You can at the moment use Firefox and save the page (which also saves supporting files) and that will get you most of the images.
You would then have to go through the css and make sure to grab all the background images in that file. On or two page grabs of different page types should give you most the images.

Image Fade Out/Load new Image/Fade In

I think I am having an event timing issue. My desire is to
change the "header" image on each selection of a tabNavigator. I
can swap the image without issue through a img.load process. I
placed the image on a canvas and set the "showEffect" and
"hideEffect" on the canvasto fadeIn and fadeOut. (I actually have 2
images on the canvas) On the tabNavigator "change" event I call my
getImage() function and set canvs.visible=false, I have the tab
index for img.load=headerPic[idx] and then I set
canvs.visible=true; The result is that I do not get the first
visible change, I think. Tab 1 is initialized to visible in
ionComplete, clicking on tab 1 has no effect since it is selected
already. When tab 2 is selected the image changes to the new image
immediately and then fadesOut. Tab 3 then will fadeIn. Also
regardless of the tab selected, if I select another tab the ongoing
fade effect will continue on the newly selected tab. It seems the
load method doesn't care about effects - so I don't know how to
sequence these effects.
Thanks in advance.

You can use the completeEffect on Image to have an effect
every time an
image loads, such as you can see used here
http://examples.adobe.com/flex2/inproduct/sdk/photoviewer/PhotoViewer.html,
but I don't think there's a corresponding effect that you can
apply to the
old image before the change.
I think you're going to need to use ActionScript to get the
control over the
effects that you want, so you can call either the end() or
the reverse()
method on the effect when the graphic needs to change in
mid-effect.

What cable do I need to download images from a nikon D800 to the new ipad

No, you need the Camera Connection Kit. See http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC531ZM/A/apple-ipad-camera-connection-kit

After the new 10.9.2 Maverick upgrade, my Photosmart C4480 3 in 1 printer can not scan and save the file to desktop or documents. You can only see the image in the print preview area. Does anyone know how to fix this or when a fix will be out?

After Aple support downloaded the new 10.9.2 Maverick upgrade on my MacBook Air, my Photosmart C4480 3 in 1 printer can not scan a document and load the file on to my desktop or document file. (You can see the doc image in the preview but it doesn't save it.) Does anyone know an Apple fix for this or when the fix will be out? After hours of trying reloading, and the usual fixes, etc. Apple told me to call HP, and HP told me they don't support Mac. It does not seem honorable of Apple to put out an upgrade and not tell people it will destroy their scanning ability, and that the only thing to do is to buy another printer/scanner.

Have you tried using Applications/Image Capture to scan.
Vuescan often works.

How can I attach an image without the image is in the email body? (using the new mail the Lion)

How can I attach an image without the image is in the email body? (using the new mail the Lion)
I want in attachment, not in the body mail.

I think your only solution is to zip the image files first and then attach them.
Read this from a site I found:
Sending Graphical Attachments -- When you attach a graphical image to your message, the recipient of your message sees the image inline (that is, in the body of the message) if her email client supports inline display. ("Take Control of Email with Apple Mail" contains a table listing the capabilities of popular Mac and PC email clients.) If a client does not support inline display (or the recipient has turned off the inline display option), the file appears as an attachment that must be opened in a separate program.
On the one hand, an inline image is easier for the recipient to see - all she has to do is look at it. On the other hand, inline images can be frustrating to scroll through. If you do not wish to send a graphical image inline, you must compress the file before attaching it - Mail, sadly, lacks a built-in compression option, though fortunately for Panther users, the Finder offers Zip compression without requiring a separate application.
Note that when you compose a new message, Mail always shows attachments in the body of your message. You can manually drag them somewhere else, but many email clients display all attachments in a separate list, regardless of where you place them in the message body.
If you paste an image into a message or drag & drop an image from another window (say, a Web browser), Mail converts the raw image data to an attachment in TIFF format. On the other hand, if you drag & drop the icon of an image file (or use the Attach button to locate the file using the file browser), Mail leaves the attached image in its original format. This difference is significant, because although most email clients can display JPEG images just fine, support for TIFF - especially in non-Mac email clients - is less common. If possible, I suggest attaching image files as opposed to pasting or dragging in raw image data.

Trying to split large library, I exported a folder of 3000 images to a new library. The new library was created with these images, but it still remained in the original library. How can I remove it from the original library while keeping it in the new l

Splitting a library does not remove the folder I moved from the original library. I exported a folder of 3000 images from the original library to a new library. The new libraryb was created alright, but the folder and the 3000 images remain in the original library. Why? And how do I safely remove them?

The new libraryb was created alright, but the folder and the 3000 images remain in the original library. Why? And how do I safely remove them?
Exporting a library will create a duplicate of the exported library items. Usually you do this to work on a partial library on another computer and later merge the changed images back. Splitting the library is not the primary purpose of exporting.
If you want to remove the library items that you exported, select them in the source list of the library inspector and delete them (File > Delete Original Images and all Versions). Then empty the Aperture Trash, after checking that you did not trash more than you wanted.
But check, if the backup of your Aperture library is in working condition, and check the exported library carefully, before you do such a massive delete.

LR 5.6 on Mac desktop all of a sudden will not read any card from any reader but will work on my laptop. I can work on previous images but not import new ones. Even if I create a catalog on laptop and import to my desktop on a thumb drive, the images are only accessible as long as the thumb drive is inserted.

Sounds like you may need to repair the Disk Permissions on your drive where your images are stored.

When exporting files to web pages Aperture keeping losing files, so for instance, if I choose to export 600 images to a new web page, it might do 524 images but not the full 600. I've tried resetting Aperture, it's the latest version etc etc. Help please!

If anyone can help me with this I would be seriously grateful.
When exporting mutliple files to web pages Aperture keeping losing files, so for instance, if I choose to export 600 images to a new web page, it might make 524 pages but not the full 600. I've tried resetting Aperture and its persmission and am using the latest version of 3.
I have 3600 images which I need to upload as sublfolders, each with their own URL and at the moment Aperture is dropping of anything from 1 to 90 images.
This is critical as people need to see each and every on of these images online. So if a file has 600 photos in it, Aperture should make a URL with 600 full image pages. And this is what it's not doing. On small files, say 30 or so it seems to work well, it's when it gets to more than that the problem starts.
I've used Aperture in the past under previous versions and not had this problem.
Any help would be great.
Thanks.
Bob.

Hi Jack,
Thanks for responding (as it seems as though no one else has been able to provide any insight as of yet)! Not sure if you saw my recent post, but the version of Aperture on the 2008 MacBook has been upgraded to 3.1.2 (not sure how; I bought it in 2009, but only have OS X 10.5.8... which apparently can't house 3.1.2 of Aperture, but hey, like many other anomalies i'm encountering, I'm no longer surprised!). I am unable to upgrade it any further, as it warns me that my OS X does not fit the requirements. I exported the projects as libraries; however, like I posted before, apparently these are from too old of a version for the new Aperture (3.3.1) to handle and import.
It's getting to the point where I'd almost pay to upgrade the OS X on my previous MacBook (10.5.8) to something newer in order to THEN update Aperture to a newer version; however, my previous MacBook simply cannot handle this (the specs are awful -- hence my decision to save up and upgrade to the newest MBP with Retina).
I've spent hours upon hours transferring files, libraries as projects, previews, versions, even masters (though, apparently some of them aren't accessible?) with no luck. I've rebuilt the library and reprocessed everything. And this is all after having to return one MBP already since Aperture 3.3.1 is glitch-y as it is, and froze everything for having a "managed library". So, now that I know that I have to deal with a referenced library in Aperture... I just need to actually transfer my previous library to my new one (hopefully WITH adjustments since these are years worth of photos and work).
Again, any help is appreciated. I've lost enough sleep, time, and vision health over this at this point.
Also, I know Migration Assistant is an option, I was told that it wouldn't work properly anyway because of the different operating systems, and the potential for problems.
