Is anybody else seeing image corruption in Aperture Library?

Folks:
I am new to this forum, but I have encountered a serious issue and I need to know if anybody else is seeing this. If not, then that would point at my platform as the issue rather than the app. What I am seeing is images being trunicated after import from the SD card. The preview is correct (whole image) but part of the image is gone and not recoverable. Additionally, I am seeing corruption of images when I use the Highlights and Shadows function -- it introduces lines into the image. On one case, I saw that using duplicate versions of a single image, attempting to adjust the second version also corrupted the first version. If I export the image, the issues are still there.
Has anybody else seen this issue? I am on V1.5.6 with the ProTools update installed.
Thanks in advance.
Respectfully,
Bill Caid, San Diego

I have a similar problem. I have been shooting on a new EOS 40D, and after 3500 frames the images appear corrupt when I import them into my computer. I have put up examples on my iDisk public folder
idisk.mac.com/ThorvardurGodi-Public
I have tried a new memory card, CF, to no avail. The reason why I am not certain it is the camera, is that corrupt images on my computer, are fine in the camera LCD, even when I zoom into them. Therefore, I have a difficulty explaining if the fault is not in the system or somewhere on the way to the hard disk.
Please if anyone knows this problem, or a solution to it, please respond.
Best

I see this problem with Aperture Library

Well, as you know, we have an Aperture Library. In my case about 60GBs and it will be growing about 35GBs per year. This Library is made of files imported from folders in another external HD (they are the originals imported from the camera). I have a Vault and consequently another file with 60GB. Then I have photos that really are triplicated.
I would love that Aperture import my files and not duplicate them. As iView works.
Please, let me know if there´s another way of doing these things.
Regards.
Guillermo

If you are importing your photos into the Aperture library -- making them Managed, rather than Referenced -- then you can delete the folders you imported them from.
(If you move back and forth between Managed and Referenced, you have a number of choices of moving vs copying, duplicating or not duplicating.)
It always feels strange to delete a lot of images. Many people seem to solve this by archiving the images on DVD. Then you can keep just the images in the Aperture library, and the vault (on separate hard disks), and feel relatively safe. I find I also keep one spare, more-or-less up-to-date copy of the whole library on yet another disk, from a well-founded superstition about hard drives.

How do you move images in one aperture library to a new aperture library

how do you move images in one aperture library to a new aperture?

Hello, Patricia,
Do you want to create a new Aperture Library with the images you select or to import them into another existing library?
To create a new library based on selected images use the main Aperture menu:
File -> Export -> Project (Folder, album) as New Library.
To import a part of an Aperture Library into another Library, export the Aperture items as new library, then import that library into the destination library. That way you will ensure, that all versions and metadata are exported.

ATI Radeon 2600 screen/graphics artifacts - anybody else seeing this?

I got a new Mac Pro (2 X 2.8 GHz Quad-Core Xeon) direct from the Apple on-line store about 3 weeks ago and have been *incredibly impressed* with it.
However, each time I use the machine for an hour or so for anything graphics intensive (e.g. playing a QT movie) I start to get huge polygon "artifacts" on the display:
http://gallery.mac.com/russell.archer#100018/IMG_0030&bgcolor=black
The machine continues to behave solidly in all other respects while the artifacts are displayed (and they shift and change, sometimes disappearing for a second or two). Once the the artifacts have appeared the only way to get rid of them is to reboot, then all is back to normal. If I stick to non-graphic intensive work like using Xcode, VMWare, etc. then I don't have any problems - it seems to be a direct of result of using either QuickTime or other movie-related stuff.
The Mac Pro has never crashed or locked up, even when the screen artifacts are displayed.
I have Leopard 10.5.2 with all the latest updates, including the latest firmware updates.
When the artifacts first appear, there's no noticeable difference in the speed of the fans and looking at all the temperature readings (with Hardware Monitor) everything seems cool.
I've done all the usual stuff like a fresh install, zapping the PRAM, etc.
Looks to me like there's either a problem with the ATI 2600 graphics card drivers or perhaps a temperature-sensitive issue in the actual card hardware (I haven't yet tried speeding up the GPU fan to see if this helps).
So, before I ring Apple support, has anybody been seeing this sort of thing?
Thanks in advance!

Hi, I faced this terrible problem too. And I just learnt that it is a bug in the Apple's Open GL drivers. It has to do with Leopard, ATI and Nvidia cards. And I don't know how to solve it! I read on some other forums that it is a problem that ATI acknowledge and there is no solution to it as yet. Mine is worst, lots of distortion, artifacts, coloured triangles, coloured lines, everything that is so nightmarish that affects my work (I need to work on images on photoshop, long hours on the computer). I really need some kind advice from someone. Really very depressed and upset over this Mac Pro that I bought in barely a year.

Woh - anybody else seeing this?

Is anyone else seeing this? How am I supposed to contact "System Administrator"?
Error

Looks like the "SA" was already contacted. It is now funtioning ok as far as I can tell. That was weird, I only had like 4 posts at the top of the page and the rest was that error.

Having trouble with images in old Aperture Library?

I have and old Aperture Library that I updated. I opened a project in that library and tried to export some photos to my desk top. I got an error message that was a error with about 10 images. I went back to that same project and now those images are blank with the upside down question mark? That says “Unsupported Image Format” Any help would be much appreciated!!
Thanks,
Jeff Skinner

Hello Jeff,
I don't undersand that with iphoto? The images are so old I forgot if they were originally iphotos or aperture files.
I saw the "iPhoto Original" keyword attached to one of the images in question. This keyword usually is set for an original master image, when you import from iPhoto.
I cannot find anything special about these imiages??? I noticed that there is no file size for the corrupted files.
If the image format is not supported, then probably Aperture cannot read the file size.
Not sure if the images are managed or referenced?
If these were imported from iPhoto, then they might have been imported as referenced, if you set the "Store Files" selector to "In their current location" on import. That would mean, that the original masters are still in your iPhoto Library, and if you edit them using iPhoto this may break the references to your masters in Aperture.
I think I just located the original imaiges in an old hard drive!
That is good, at least you still have a backup; but did you see the imported, unsupported images in the masters folder of your Aperture Library? It would really help to know the exact condition of the images that are problematic. Or are they not in the library? That would mean they are referenced, but then the exclamation-mark tag in the Browser is confusing - I then would expect an icon with a broken arrow.
It did not happen until I tried to export them though? What can I do to prevent this from happening futher?
Then Aperture probably did not notice that something was amiss with the images, until it needed to access the master image files for export and noticed that those could not be read. As long as you do not try to export or to edit the images, the Previews are sufficient, but on export the master has to be processed.
The master image files of the other images in the project may be problematic as well - make sure you have a working backup, before you try anything at all with other images in that project.
Cheers

Transferring images out of Aperture library

I recently acquired Aperture and plan to import my existing library into the Aperture library. My existing library consists of a lot of .nefs and almost as many jpgs. Once my existing library is imported I plan to let Aperture manage and backup the images in a vault, and delete my old library file structure (after waiting long enough to be confident everything is safe).
My question: is it possible to pull an old jpg out of the Aperture library and insert it into another program without opening Aperture? For example, if I want to put an image in a greeting card, is there any way I can go into the Aperture library through the Finder to locate and transfer the image?
Thanks!
Steve

Yes, but it isn't elegant.
Right click on the Aperture Library and select "Show package contents"
Pick the Project and again, right click and select "Show package contents"
Then, out of the list of folders, one per image, try and figure out what image you need (or Spotlight if you know the filename).
There again, launching Aperture and exporting the image isn't that slow after all.
Possible to do it with Automator/Applescript as well I believe. Unsure there is a script out there but quite likely.

Importing referenced images into the Aperture library

I've searched and seen related questions but not this one exactly.
I have images that I unknowingly (new aperture user) imported as referenced files. Now I'd like to import them into the aperture library without loosing ratings, etc so that they are included in my vault. How do I do this without starting over with these images?
Thanks - Rick

Changing reference images into the aperture library

Hi,
I got a large external HD for aperture. How can I move the referenced images from a different HD into the aperture library? These images are already organized into albums and projects in aperture.
Thanks

select the images and then choose
file -> consolidate masters ...
structure shall remain ...

Tiger's desktop/screensaver not seeing all of the aperture library?

Hi Folks,
i'm on tiger 10.4.11 and aperture 2.01 - when I look into the desktop/screen saver part of sys. prefs, my aperture library only shows folders until a certain date - it doesn't show my entire library.
The AP library is reference managed with all files residing on my macpro (ie. not on an external which is turned off). I've rebooted and tried running onyx to clean the system, but still a no go.
Any ideas? I saw another post with a similar issue, but that was relate to leopard and I think related to iphoto 08 (i'm running iphoto 06.06 - the other post said to create a blank iphoto library to see if that makes a difference).
Thanks in advance for reading.
Cheers,
Keebler

Keebler,
Is it possible that you had previews turned on at one point, and then at your mystery time (after which you cannot select Aperture projects from the screensaver) you turned Aperture previews off? Check Preferences => Previews in Aperture.

Strange "corruption" of Aperture Library

I say "corruption" in quotes because I'm not sure that's what it was, but anyway....
On my rMBP Aperture (3.3.3) starts more or less instantaneously - the 'Loading Aperture Library' message appeared for about a second (27GB library).
Then, out of the blue, it slowed dramtically - the 'Loading' message appearing for ~10 seconds.
This coincided with me inadvertently importing ~160 Canon CR2 raw files into the Library as Managed. When I realized my mistake I converted them to Referenced using File->Relocate Masters. Whether this was just coincidental I don' t know, but tonight I ran 'Rebuild Database' (holding Command-Option while starting Aperture). It took about 3 hours, but now Aperture is back to it's lightning fast startup.
OK, so it's fixed, but I'm curious (and a little concerned) about what happened, in case it happens again. Moving Manged photos to Referenced (and vice versa) is a normal operation so was it just coincidence?
Can anyone shed any light on this?

Hello I have a similar problem : I have to pass a cluster parameter containing numeric values in C DLL (that configure serial channels on a Serial Board) as a Struct so defined :
struct ChannelInfoEx
ViInt16 interfaceType;
ViInt32 baudRate;
ViInt16 numBits;
ViInt16 stopBits;
ViInt16 parity;
ViUInt16 flowControl;
This parameter is passed to a VI as a AdaptToType with a format Handles by Value
All the fields of the struct (except interfacetype the first one) have a shifted values (stopbits has the value for parity numbits for stopbits and so on).
This problem is raised when I have deleted from the first filed of the struct (ViInt16 channelName) and I have tried to define all the fields as ViInt32 and the parameters are passed correctly.
Someone could help me and explain this strange behaviour ?? It's a Labview bug ??
There is a way to avoid to redefine all the fields as ViInt32 in the DLL ??

ITunes can't see Aperture Library - iMovie can't see most videos in Aperture Library

Issues:
Nearly all of my videos in the Aperture/iPhoto library do not show up when I select iPhoto library option in iMovie and iMovie is unable to locate them in any other way.
iTunes does not recognize my Aperture library, and I get the following message:
"Your Aperture Library could not be found. Open the preferences window in Aperture and enable the preference to share previews with other applications."
After reading through forums and multiple Genius Bar appointments here is most of what I have done:
Created multiple new Aperture libraries, selected them in Aperture, rebooted, switched back and forth - Note: iTunes DID recognize the new blank libraries
Booted Aperture with the Command + Option keys and run all three options to repair permssions and even rebuilt the database
Booted Aperture with the Option key and selectedthe library I was using all along (this worked for someone in a forum)
Opened iPhoto (not Aperture) and selected an option to share photos
Run "Verify Disk Permissions" many times under Disk Utility
Run "Repair Disk Permissions" many times under Disk Utility
Reinstalled OSX
Reinstalled Aperture
Reinstalled iTunes
Run a virus and malware scan (no issues)
Verified that Aperture was set to share previews and had a Genius go through all of my options to ensure they were correct in iTunes, Aperture, and iPhoto
Have ran "Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs" from the Command + Option + R recovery partition multiple times. Each time it just hangs for hours, the latest attempt ran for over 24 hours before I finally stopped it.
Oh yes, and I found and deleted the file com.apple.iApps.plist
None of these things fixed either of my issues. According the the Genius at my last appointment, now I have to call Apple Care and pay to get support. I must have misunderstood what the Genius Bar was about when I bought my Mac and why I purchased the One to One training. Before I call Apple Care, I was hoping someone might have run across this and can help me.
I asked the Genius if I now need to just create a new Aperture Library and move all of my content to it (that was the last resort for someone in a forum); however, he was concerned that even if this might work that I probably have deeper permission and/or other issues that need to be addressed and that doing so would not fix the root cause.
Thanks for taking the time to read through this issue.

It was suggested that I post this in the Aperture forum, so I did. I didn't know that you couldn't delete or edit your own posts on this site. I apologize for the duplicate post and this can be deleted if an admin is so inclined.

Does anybody else see real obvious bugginess with the Faces feature of Aperture?

I'm not looking for miracles, I don't think. I don't expect faces to automagically recognize every face I've previously identified. I just want the various views of faces to agree. I'll go through pictures from a party painstakingly identifying all the attendees in the Split View. Then I'll click Faces for the album and mouse around over some of the faces and see that it's confused. Instead of showing only pictures of Bob when I mouse around over Bob, there'll occasionally be a picture of Joe. Go back to the pictures in Split View and it appears as though Bob is always labeled correctly.

Faces can take several hours to fully update from any new information you input. Also, if you force-quit Aperture (or it crashes) after inputting information into Faces, it is possible to lose that information.
In effect (and this is just a guess from my experience), it can take Faces an hour or so to write everything back to disk (I suspect it is re-processing before saving).
If you allow Faces to settle down after using it, are you still seeing errors?
Another glitch -- probably for similar reasons -- is that there is a slight delay between applying a name and Faces accepting that name. Several times in my experience Faces has, when I press {Enter} to apply a name I just typed in the Name field, instead of accepting the name given, asked, "Is this 'Bob' " where "Bob" is Faces's ID suggestion that it finally pulled from it's look-up list. This can, of course, result in mis-indentified and un-identified faces where I had gone through the actions to properly identify them.

In iOS 8 Safari often doesn't load pages without refreshing - anybody else seeing this?

Since upgrading to iOS 8 on my iPhone 5 - and I also see this on my new iPhone 6 Plus which arrived yesterday - oftentimes when links are clicked on the page just hangs there. But then when I touch refresh it will immediately load. I never saw this prior to iOS 8. Are other people experiencing this as well?
