Missing the quick preview

In the main window, it was possible to scroll with the mouse over a staple of fotos and see all the included fotos in a easy and quick way.
With the new Foto App for Mac, this function has gone.
I miss it. It was a good invention!

In the Moments and Collections views it still works that way, at least with a trackpad (click-hold and then drag around). I do agree it should be implemented more widely.

How to create a version that looks like the "quick preview" image?

Is there a way to easily create a version that is similar in appearance (mostly apparent as saturation)to what is seen when hitting the P key and viewing the "quick preview"? I shoot raw (Canon .cr2) and find that for many of my shots, the "quick preview" would be a nice starting point, and often a fine end-result, for saturation. Any hints welcomed. Thanks. Fred

Thanks for your comments and I certainly agree with your suggestions. I was hoping that there was something that I was overlooking that would essentially work like a "lift/stamp" and let me find settings that were embedded in the camera generated jpg. I know that you know your way around Aperture, so if you don't have a trick up your sleeve, I think it's probably not to be found.

After ios5 update to my iPhone 4 - missing the quick access camera icon on lock screen. Any suggestions?

I downloaded the iOS 5 for my iPhone 4 with, it seemed, no problems. However, I'm missing the quick access camera icon on the lock screen. Any thoughts to moving forward?

Hi, have you double clicked the home button while the iPhone is in lock screen?

HT4101 The camera connector suddenly stopped importing photos like it used to. Now it will import 1 or 2 photos and then **** off and revert to the desk top. The Sd reader works, but I miss the quicker option of the cord and connected.

I have two Canon Elph cameras. They both were easy to use with my IPad until two months ago when it suddenly stopped working on either camera/cord. It would check the new photos displayed on the screen and then shut down, import one or two, and go back to the desktop. Frustrating. The SD reader works, though. Is the camera connected faulty?

Are you running a Managed or a Referenced Library?
A Managed Library, is the default setting, and iPhoto copies files into the iPhoto Library when Importing. The files are then stored in the Library package
A Referenced Library is when iPhoto is NOT copying the files into the iPhoto Library when importing because you made a change at iPhoto -> Preferences -> Advanced. (You unchecked the option to copy files into the Library on import) The files are then stored where ever you put them and not in the Library package. In this scenario you are responsible for the File Management.

Quick Preview vs Raw

I'm relatively new to digital photography and Aperture, so I may be missing something very basis. But I couldn't find an answer through a search.
When I load my raw images from my Nikon D40x the quick preview images look great - rich blacks, lots of details, etc. When I switch to the raw image to make adjustments I get an image that is very flat, lacks the rich black, loss of details etc. I'd like to start making adjustments with an image with the quality found in the quick preview mode. Is that possible? What am I missing?
Thanks for your help

This is typical of Nikon NEF's the image that you are seeing is probably the embedded preview that reflects the in camera settings (picture control settings) where the default RAW processing does not.
Just discussed this here hate to post the link again but seems that you didn't find it:

Why is my Quick Preview taking ages to load

I am finding the Quick Preview in Aperture is taking a long time to load the picture. I have to come out of quick preview to allow the picture to load and be clear. Once it has loaded, I can go back in to QP and it works as expected. Until I try to open the next picture.
This has only started recently.Is it something to do with looking at masters instead of versions?

My first (and perhaps only) guess is that you have (perhaps inadvertently) set Aperture to not create Previews (or deleted them).
What happens if you select all the images in a Project and execute "Photos→Update Previews"? Does Aperture do anything? Are you then able to quickly move through them using Quick Preview?

Thumbnail/Quick Preview/Export have strange grey overlay

I spent quite some time googling this issue, so it's starting to seem like a "just me" issue. Yet I can't find a way to solve it, so here I go asking for help.
I have a library with a single project and a series of photos in it. Most photos have a crop, white balance, exposure, sharpen and curve global adjustments, as well as areas with definition brush strokes and dodge brush strokes. The dodge brush was used to make the "almost white" background around product in the shot completely white.
The thumbnails display a light grey (around 250;250;250 RGB, although it varies a bit) blotchy overlay in the areas of the image that are expected to be white. When I click on a thumbnail to bring up the larger image into view, for the first few seconds, while the "loading" spinner is visible on top, the grey overlay can also be seen on the enlarged image. After loading is finished, it disappears. If I turn on the Quick Preview mode, the grey overlay persists and does not go away. Images that I have viewed enlarged with Quick Preview turned off continue to display correctly when I come back to them after looking at other images, as if they are cached in memory. After I view a few dozen images, though, these correct versions seem to be evicted from cache, and I get the grey overlay during the "loading" period again.
The grey overlay does not correspond one-to-one with the area where brush strokes have been applied.
The scariest part of it all is that when I try to export versions, they are exported with the grey overlay intact.
I have tried rebuilding thumbnails, reprocessing masters, repairing permissions, repairing the database. The problem persists. I have tried disabling the dodge adjustment but unchecking it and then checking it again. The problem persists. I have tried removing the dodge adjustment and then brushing it on from scratch. The problem persists.
Out of ideas now. Please help. I would love to attach screenshots, but don't see an option to do so.

All you are seeing is the difference between the fully-decoded image created on the fly by applying the adjustments saved as instructions in the Version text file to the Master image file, and the Preview created according to the parameters you set in Preferences.
If the Previews don't meet your needs, try a higher quality/larger dimensions.
Likewise for your exports.
What are your Preview and Export settings?
Take a look at the highlighted section

Quick Preview unusable - images are "squared"/blurred

Hi,
Probably since 3.1.2 upgrade or 10.6.7 or turning on Time Machine I am experiencing following behavior:
I have project for my family photos in aperture for this Year where I have folders for months and then albums for events. I usually drag and drop the selected images from Import browser to appropriate album.
The problem is when I use Quick Preview - then all of imported images (in whole Album, but not project) are "squared"/blurred (you can imagine that like if you take image 200*200 and resize it to 1680*1680) - the small and middle preview are squared and the biggest and fullscreen are clear.
When I turn of the Quick Preview then the Loading... appears and clear the image. I can then turn on the Quick Preview and it stays clear until I restart the Aperture and squared image is back.
When I start the Aperture and select the album/project it automatically starts processing (Processing IMG_XXXX) some, seems random, number of images) - and nothing happened. (turn off and turn on Aperture and processing starts again).
Here is what I tried (no success with anything):
- Delete preview and generate new previews
- Copy to other project
- Change the size of the preview image (from 1680*1680 to 1920*1920) in Aperture preferences
- Change preview image quality to 9 from 8 in Aperture preferences
- Export the project as New library - this has one effect - the biggest preview and fullscreen image are squared here also
- applied all file permissions to files as are by default on Picture folder
- Repaired permissions
So in summary:
- preview pictures are squared
- aperture does not remember/store the smaller quick preview files after restart
And here is a example of the image:

Thank you for any help or ideas to try.

Since you've covered most everything (inc. permissions repair), it's probably time to move on to "Repair Database" and then, if needed, to "Rebuilt Database".

Quick Preview toggle - images appear very soft?

I have noticed that when using Quick Preview to run through images in my projects all images appear sharp, however if I toggle quick preview off and then back on again the image never sharpens.
This is similar to the effect you would get on first view, i.e. an initial soft image that sharpens when loading completes.
Has anyone else noticed this?

Hi guys:
I came searching for this same problem and only happened upon a solution (at least for me) very accidently. In my case the "softness" doesn't seem to be actually linked to the "quick preview" toggle.
When I pull down the "view" menu from the top of the screen, I pass the "quick preview" command and go down to the bottom to "Proofing Profiles". The profile for the proofing was set to one of many of my printer's profiles, which was not calibrated, yet, for my mac. I selected, instead, a previously saved calibration setting (one that I made using the simple calibration wizard under the monitor system preference) specifically for my monitor, and the viewer image changed to look exactly as the one in Browser thumbnail; sharp and detailed.
I certainly hope that this may help you. As I said, this is not based on in-depth knowledge of this program, just trial and error, so may not apply to your situation.
Good Luck

Quick preview issues

I’m using a late 2008 MBP and SL 10.6.4 with AP3. After importing around 5000 RAW to a new project, quick preview in full screen isn’t working properly. Viewing the photos in full screen at full resolution is not an issue. Only when switching to quick preview, the image disappears and the screen goes black. When flipping through the photos in full screen and quick preview on, the photos flash up for a blink of an eye before the screen goes black again.
What I’ve tried so far is to delete and generate new previews, repair permissions and the library and rebuild the library. However, as a result all projects now have the same issue. Moreover, photos aren’t shared with other (iLife) applications. The projects in the photo browser in Mail as well as the control panel for desktop background are empty. Sharing with iTunes, i.e. syncing photos on my iPhone, doesn’t work (again, projects have 0 photos). Of course, sharing is enabled in AP preferences. I’ve read several articles about this sharing problem but the solutions posted didn’t work for me. As sharing uses the jpg files, I guess this is somehow related to the quick preview issue.
It seems that for some reason Aperture does not read the jpg files. Any ideas what else I can try to solve this? Thanks!

Unfortunately, I do not have a solution for you because I am struggling with a similar problem since the release of AP3. I have also experienced the blink of an eye appearance and disappearance of some previews. Also, sometimes the thumbnails and the preview pictures shown are unrelated, or the previews are scrambled. I have tried every AP2 to AP3 conversion strategy in the book; the result is always the same. Hope Apple finds a solution for this quickly.

Aperture quick preview locks in after using Google/Nik to edit a photo

I'm not sure when this started happening, but I've recently been annoyed with very frequent restarts of Aperture being required.
If i edit a photo with any of the Nik/Google programs, save it, and get back to my project full of photos...the quick preview stays locked onto the original of the photo I just editted. It doesn't even update to the edit of it. I thought my library was large and bogging the system down or something, so i made a new library and imported 4 photos, editted one, and it's still doing the same thing. Any thoughts?
I did a quickie search, but I'm terribad at searching in these forums. Sorry if it's somewhere obvious to you pro searchers

hey thanks so much! ok, ill jsut deal with editing one photo at a time and then restarting aperture each time.. lol its ANNOYING, but it WORKS.. so ill deal with it!
thanks again!!!
oops, i tried to change it to you solved my issue instead of helped, and i think i marked that i solved my own problem.. ugh i hate these forums! lol

Adjustments grayed out? Might be QUICK PREVIEW in Aperture 2

I upgraded to 2.0 this morning and found that I was not unable to make any adjustments to any RAW or Jpegs files. This was so with managed files in the central library as well as referenced images on an external HD. Also true for new RAW files uploaded this morning.
The adjustments window is completely grayed out. I'm able to toggle open the arrows for Raw Fine Tuning, White Balance, etc but unable to access the controls. CMYK values do show up below the (empty) space for the histogram, but that is the extent of interactivity.
The rotate and lift and stamp functions are operable. The alignment, crop, patch, brush and redeye tool are grayed out.
I then realized I had inadvertently clicked the "quick preview" mode (button bottom right of window) - likely when dragging the bottom right corner to rescale the window.
Everything seems ok now.
Though the white balance controls are a little unpredictable. Occasionally the tint jumps to a zero value when I am adjusting the temp slider. And often the change that I am making doesn't seem to register.
Hope the QP headsup might save some time for some of you that (like me) didn't bother to read the "What's new" section before installing.

Presets does not show anymore the live preview

The first three times I used Aperture 3, the "Presets" showed the live preview. Example : Presets/Color/Cross Process 1 showed a small image where I could appreciate before clicking. Now the live preview image is not shown anymore. I uninstalled Aperture completely and after reinstalling, it worked for a day or two. After that, impossible to get back the live preview. I'm working on the newest MacBookPro 17'' with 8GB Ram. I also installed the latest update of Aperture.
Can somebody help me? Thanks.

I had a glitch were all the adjustments and histogram appeared to be active at the same time as the quick preview was on. The sliders moved but no adjustment was applied. Maybe a similar problem? Allan

Compiz: app switcher quick preview window

http://pub.insanity.in/img/scrshot/2009 … _scrot.png
the quick preview of windows i'm switching has a transparent rather dark color, and the "rectangle" that selects that preview window is black as you notice.
It's impossible to see what window is selected.
Just to be certain you understand, i'm NOT talking about the selected window higlight.
Is it possible to change the background of that preview area or at least the selected window "rectangle" color without affecting my GTK theme.
Thanks

no use of you people... ~.~

I'm trying to export a file as .dwg for Autocad but it's not showing the dwg preview and it appears to be saving as code (lots of gobbledegook when reopening the file). I'm on OS 10.5.8. Never had a problem with this before. What am I missing? Any idea

First be sure login and password are OK. Sometimes the address starts wit "http://..." and sometime starts with "ftp://...". Try both normal FTP access and Scure FTP access (SFTP). At the end, contact the site's provider.
