Keep edge sharpening tool open?

Is there a way to keep the edge sharpening tool/brick open like the other adjustments. I have to use a keyboard shortcut to bring it up each time I want to use it.

with the edge sharpen brick open, click the gear icon in the upper right and choose "Add to Default Set" ...

Aperture seems to ignore edge sharpening on export

I like this edge sharpening tool in Aperture.
However when I export a picture the export process seems to simply ignore my edge sharpening I made. This is even true when I use the "edit with ..." menu.
Edge sharpening seems also be ignored while printing pictures.
I must say that edge sharpening is quit useless if I can't see the effect in exported or printed versions

When you're exporting, are you choosing to export "Version"? Otherwise, you're just exporting the original.
I export Versions of corse.
I also think that this is a bug - and a very important one.

Batch edge sharpen or customized sharpen in RAW fine tuning

Do you apply a mild edge sharpen to all your pictures by default or have tweaked the sharpening default default in the 1.1 RAW fine tuning to your likeness or simply stick with the default in the RAW converter and just apply different amount of edge sharpening on an image by image basis?

Thanks William.
My question was not primarily, whether you use the defaults for edge sharpen.
Let's explain it a bit more detailed:
Almost all pictures from DSLRs need sharpening to some extend. That basic sharpening usually is done in the RAW converter and can be adjusted with the RAW fine tuning since Aperture 1.1
Since Aperture 1.5 we have the new edge sharpen tool, which is said to give much better results than the old sharpen tool. Looking at the sliders I assume, the sharpening in the RAW fine tuning is done with the same algorithm that is used in the old sharpen tool.
So my idea was, whether it is probably better to trim down or even disable the sharpening in the RAW fine tuning and instead batch apply a small amount of edge sharpen to all my picture. Then tweak the edge sharpen on those pictures that need it.
So far my approach is to use the sharpening in the RAW converter usually set to the Apple default and additionally apply edge sharpen for individual pictures, if I think they need it.

Camera raw filter keeps adding sharpening when I open the image

camera raw filter keeps adding sharpening when I open the image although there are no presets and all sharpening sliders set to zero- this doesn't happen with the same set up on my imac- Ps cc 2014 osx 10.9.5- can anyone help me turn this off, I've reloaded and update the Ps cc 2014

Thanks for the reply - the problem isn't with ACR itself but the new Camera Raw filter available in photoshop CC 2014 in the filters selection, this doesn't seem to include the workflow options that you get at the bottom of the normal ACR window- it's a really handy filter for quick final adjustments but on my Macbook keeps adding sharpening even when the sliders are at zero. Is there a workflow option menu for this filter ? Something strange going on somewhere- thanks again for the reply , Tom

HUD Display (edge sharpening)

I frequently use the edge sharpening controls. I would like to know if there is a way to keep these controls permanently in the HUD display, along with other frequently used controls such as exposure, contrast, white balance, etc. Unlike the regular sharpening adjustment, I have to select edge sharpening from the HUD drop down menu each time I want to use it. As soon as I move on to another image, it disappears from my HUD window. There must be a way to select frequently used adjustments in the HUD window permanently isn't there? I can't figure out how to do it. I am NOT talking about saving presets. I understand how to do that. This would be a big timesaver.

Steve- I can't thank you enough. This has been bugging me for ages. I just never got around to researching it on the discussion boards til now. I am a bit technically challenged When I opened the AdjustmentsDefaulsts.plist it was opening by default with OmniOutliner. After reading the old threads on this topic I see someone else had the same problem. I went back and opened it with Text Edit and added RKProSharpenOperation to the list and voila! Upon re-launching Aperture the edge sharpen adjustment is permanently in my HUD. To anyone else reading this, you must make sure to enter it EXACTLY the same as the other items on the list, in other words like this:
<string>RKProSharpenOperation</string> The first time I tried I left out the forward slash in the second <string> and it didn't work.

InDesign CS5.5 keeps crashing when I open a particular document

InDesign CS5.5 keeps crashing when I open a particular document. This suddenly started happening a few hours ago, and other files are unaffected. I downloaded a backup from last week and that was fine, but I need to get this latest version working again. I've cleared out the Recovery folder, deleted Preferences, and even reinstalled InDesign - all to no avail.
I'm running Windows 8.
Any help gratefully received!

Even after emptying the recovery folder?
It's either a damaged install or a bad font or some other conflict. Do the font trouble-shooter first, then move to checking for a conflict.
To check for a conflict, go to the start button and in the Search field Type msconfig to bring up the configuration utility. Open it, go to the Services tab and click the box to Hide All Microsoft Services. You can uncheck just about anything that's left (for diagnostic purposes) except FLEXnet Licensing Services and a service starting with ##ID_String... which are part of the Adobe licensing sytem and need to be active for Adobe product to run.
Now switch to the Startup tab, and uncheck everything except your mouse driver and the Adobe Service Manager for this version.
Reboot. Ignore the warning about startup in diagnostic mode for the moment and Launch ID and see if it works. If it does, go back msconfig and add back startup programs in groups, rebooting each time and repeat the test until you get a failure. If all the startup programs work, repeat with the services tab. If nothing causes a problem I have no idea what's going on.
On the other hand, if ID fails again straight off with all that stuff disabled, the installtion is corrupt. Run the cleaner tool (CS Cleaner Tool for installation problems | CCM, CS6, CS5.5, CS5, CS4, CS3) and reinstall while still in diagnostic mode, then run msconfig one last time to restore normal startup.

Edge sharpening and noise: your settings?

I am experimenting with edge sharpening. I have a couple of questions.
1. How to lift and stamp JUST the edge sharpening? From the HUD it looks like all the adjustment settings get applied? (Do I need to do anything else but highlight the edge sharpening in the HUD before stamping)?
2. What do you like for portraits as a setting in edge sharpening?
3. What settings for noise reduction? My latest shoot has all kinds of noise (concert photography) due to 1600 ISO.
Any advice welcome here! Thanks so much!

1. All the settings under Adjustments will be stamped, at this point is not possible to select only one adjustment. If you are gonna apply the same settings to few images you can untick the boxes of the adjustments you don't want to copy to other images, then lift the adjustments (only those with the box ticked will be lifted) and stamp it to the others.
2. Edge sharpening is a great tool, the best is to experiment and find the results you like. That depends on many factors as the type of photography, lenses used and even personal taste. Have a look at this document:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=304536
3. I don't find noise reduction in aperture any great. Only chroma blur for removing colour noise. At ISO 1600 2.5 setting in chroma blur does the job. Before printing I always bring the image to Photoshop and use Noiseware Professional, which gives great results.

Howto: Make Edge Sharpen etc. part of the default HUD

Hi all,
To make the new Edge Sharpen control part of the standard HUD:
0) Quit Aperture
1) Go to Library/Application Support/Aperture
2) Copy the file AdjustmentsDefaults.plist to a safe location
3) Open the original AdjustmentsDefaults.plist file by double clicking it. This should launch the Property List Editor with the file loaded
4) Unfold the Properties List nodes
5) Select the last entry in the plist (the one named 5)
6) Click on "New Sibling" in the toolbar
7) Enter RKProSharpenOperation as the value
8) Quit Property List Editor
9) Restart Aperture and enjoy your customized HUD!
Other operations that appear to work are
RKRedEyeOperation (Red Eye)
RKStraightenCropOperation (Straighten)
RKCropOperation (Crop)
RKDustRemovalOperation (Spot and Patch)
RKChannelMixerOperation (Monochrome Mixer)
RKNoiseReductionOperation (Noise Reduction)
RKSharpenOperation (Sharpen)
Sepia and Color Monochrome seem to be handled by parameterized versions of RKImageOperation and I haven't experimented with adding these.
As always; perform experiments like this with care!
Kind regards

that one is already a default ... at least it was for
me after upgrading to 1.5 ...
maybe someone who has the plist in front of them can
give the exact, or else i will when i get home ...
My face is FF0000!! You are right, it is there. I don't believe it was before 1.5 and I missed it.
Thanks!

Just updated to the newest version of Firefox and it keeps crashing when I open the browser. I tried opening it with add-ons disabled and it still keeps crashing. Crash ID: bp-03b36d11-304e-4f80-ab9e-79b7f2111223

I just updated to the newest version of firefox for my mac laptop. It keeps crashing when I open the browser and does so even in safe mode. Laptop is about two years old. Might it be an issue with the OS? I have not updated to Leopard yet.

It seems that the problem is related to fonts.
(1) How were you updating your operating system ?
If you use *_Software Update_*, hurry up, download and apply the combo updater available from :
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1361
but CAUTION, this update introduce a serious problem with some fonts. At this time the only workaround available is to reinstall 10.6 tyhen apply the combo updater 10.6.6 available from :
http://support.apple.com/kb/dl1349
(2) if you didn't used *_Software Update_*, run a maintenance tool like the free MAINTENANCE available from :
http://www.titanium.free.fr/index_us.html
Apply it to clear caches files, mainly those dedicated to fonts.
It would be also a good idea to check the health of your fonts with FontBook.

5D Users + Edge Sharpening

I'm wondering if any one of you guys using the Canon 5D Mk I have any particular edge sharpening settings you use?

1. All the settings under Adjustments will be stamped, at this point is not possible to select only one adjustment. If you are gonna apply the same settings to few images you can untick the boxes of the adjustments you don't want to copy to other images, then lift the adjustments (only those with the box ticked will be lifted) and stamp it to the others.

Edge Sharpening: Changes Color (?)

In playing with and testing the new edge sharpening functions, I'm finding erratic, weird behavior.
I have found, on several images, that when applying edge sharpening to an image, the color(s) appear to be affected. I guess the best way to describe it is like this: imagine you are working on a photo. Don't change anything yet. Nothing. Open full screen. Scroll the image to a portion in which a dark area or areas are visible. Ideally, you will have a part of an image that also has edges that are to be sharpened.
Now, apply edge sharpening to taste. After that, press M to view the original. In my case, I have found that the color of the dark areas change, when all I've done is add edge sharpening. Specifically, the dark areas appear to be lighter and show more detail (not sharpening detail).
Anyone else?
G5 / DP 1.8 / 4gb RAM / ATI X800 Mac OS X (10.4.7)

Yep. And rebooted, too.
And this is reproducible.
Very odd.
the funny thing is that when applying edge sharpening, the image actually improves in non-sharpened areas. Specifically, more color detail is visible in areas otherwise too dark or showing too much black contrast.
So... applying edge sharpening gives what appears to be a more accurate render of the image, where the "dark" portions now are slightly less dark, and show greater detail.

How do I keep the Character panel open and why are my font examples fuzzy?

Hello,
I am unable to keep the character panel open while editing text. The options will not open in the top tool bar next to color and stroke. The link to the character panel is in the top bar, however, I must click it each time to open. Problem 2, is that even after opening the character panel and opening the drop down box, the 2nd column of text, the column that shows the font examples, is blurry. I've been dealing with this for some time, but had a little extra time today to ask for help.
I am using a PC and using Illustrator in Creative Cloud 2014.1.1 Release, 18.1.1(64-bit).
Julie

Hello,
Thank you for the reply. When I do Window > Type > Character still the palette opens up and I want it to actually be in the bar at the top. I just opened an ai document from one of their tutorials and the characters are now open on top. The dropdown is still wonky.
The left side is very sharp, the right side is fuzzy.

I cannot get the edge dection tool to work i use to use it all the time but now i can't, how do i get it to work?

I use to use the edge detection tool all the time but now I can't, how do I get it to work again. When I try to use it, it will show the o with the line in side.

A lot more information about your hardware and software is needed.
BOILERPLATE TEXT:
If you give complete and detailed information about your setup and the issue at hand,
such as your platform (Mac or Win),
exact versions of your OS, of Photoshop (not just "CC", but something like CC2014.v.2.2) and of Bridge,
your settings in Photoshop > Preference > Performance
the type of file you were working on,
machine specs, such as total installed RAM, scratch file HDs, total available HD space, video card specs, including total VRAM installed,
what troubleshooting steps you have taken so far,
what error message(s) you receive,
if having issues opening raw files also the exact camera make and model that generated them,
if you're having printing issues, indicate the exact make and model of your printer, paper size, image dimensions in pixels (so many pixels wide by so many pixels high). if going through a RIP, specify that too.
a screen shot of your settings or of the image could be very helpful too,
etc.,
someone may be able to help you (not necessarily this poster, who is not a Windows user).
