Photos constantly re-rendering during viewing.

Hi all,
Since upgrading to Aperture 3, I've noticed that clicking through the photos in my project causes the "loading" indicator to come up for every photo. This used to happen in the Aperture 2, but once the photo loaded once, it was as if the system created a permanent full-size preview of it so it never needed to load again. In Aperture 3, on the other hand, photos load and re-load almost every time I visit them, whether within the same working session or after closing and reopening the app. It's as if the app is throwing out what it renders every time.
This is also an issue when working in Zoom to Actual Size view, as I pan around the image every area I stop on is fuzzy and must re-render. This cripples my workflow and makes it take absurdly long to check out each image.
Does Aperture no longer save the renders of images? I have "Don't limit" selected for photo preview size in preferences. In 2, that seemed to cause the app to render a permanent full-res version of each photo so I could happily zip through them.
I'm on a first gen MacBook, 2GHz Core Duo with 2GB Ram, I know that is hardly ideal (waiting and waiting and waiting for Mac Pros to be refreshed!) but the last version of Aperture worked really well and Photoshop is still quite fast. My OS is 10.6.4 and all updates to Aperture are applied.
Any clues?

Aperture 3 caches a handful of rendered images as you browse around, but I think how many it keeps around is subject to the amount of free RAM it has to work with. Depending on what else is going on in your system (and Aperture itself gobbles more RAM than before) the program may be caching fewer images than it used to, requiring "Loading..." them from disk more often. It likely discards Least Recently Used images when its cache limit is reached.
Is browsing in Quick Preview mode poky as well? If so, as part of the library upgrade to Aperture 3, your preview images may have been regenerated at a larger size - I've heard of stranger things happening in A2-A3 library upgrades. Larger previews will obviously take longer to load and slow you down and the ones in your library may be bigger than necessary for your MacBook display. I've found the best sharpness for preview images comes when you hit about 130% of your display's resolution and I knock the Quality setting down to an acceptable 7 to reduce file size.

  • ICloud Photo Library (Beta) - Can't view older photos from before 2014

    Hi All,
    I turned on iCloud Photo Library (Beta) on an iPhone 6 and an iPhone 5s. These two phones had different sets of photos at the time. After the synch process completed the two phones now show the same photos. However, only the photos from 2014 are visible on both phones.
    Interestingly, if I go to iCloud -> Storage -> Manage Storage -> iCloud Photo Library -> I can see that more photos have been stored than are visible. Storage reports 2600 photos, but I can only view 1800 through the photos application.
    I'm hoping this is simply a Beta bug and my photos have not been lost. With luck they will become visible after a future update.
    I'm curious if anyone from Apple can confirm this is a known limitation of the Beta. Or if anyone from the community has seen this same behavior.
    Thanks

    I really wish I could like iPhoto, but I don't know what in the world it is doing, and by locking me out of the Finder access to the iPhoto folder and doing things like duplicating photos without my asking, I've lost trust in this piece of software.
    First thing is: It's a Photo manager. That's the basic key thing you need to grasp. Your photo is not the same thing as the file that contans it. That's why Finder access is not relevant. Import the Photo, manipulate the photo - losslessly - and then if you want to use the Photo in a document, upload it, whatever, put it into a new file designed for that purpose.
    The illustration I use is as follows: In my iTunes Library I have a file called 'Let_it_Be_The_Beatles.mp3'. So what is that, exactly? It's not the song. The Beatles never wrote an mp3. They wrote a tune and lyrics. They recorded it and a copy of that recording is stored in the mp3 file. So the file is just a container for the recording. That container is designed in a specific way attuned to the characteristics and requirements of the data. Hence, mp3.
    Similarly, that Jpeg is not your photo, it's a container designed to hold that kind of data. iPhoto is all about the data and not about the container. So, regardless of where you choose to store the file, iPhoto will manage the photo, edit the photo, add metadata to the Photo but never touch the file. If you choose to export - unless you specifically choose to export the original - iPhoto will export the Photo into a new container - a new file containing the photo.
    So as long as you're hanging on to the idea that Photo=Jpeg iPhoto is never going to work for you.
    If you're willing to let go of that - as you do with Addresses, as you do in iMovie, Lightroom, Final Cut, APerture - then you can begin to make sense of iPhoto too.

    If time machine puts all of my photos onto my external hard drive using time machine, can I then delete the photos from my computer but view them again from the external hard drive? Basically, can I free up space on my mac but not lose years of photos?

    To add to Niel's comment bear in mind that if you have a backup copy on an external HD and later delete the orignals on your Mac HD you will then only have one copy - so no backup.
    If the pictures are precious you should have at least two copies, and ideally another copy kept off site,

    Phonebooth is in your home folder under pictures with Iphoto and Ichat. Deleting pigtures from phonebooth should not remove any from Iphoto library. Something else had to happen.

    When inserting pictures in a new mail message using the " photo browser" button I can view and select photos but the " choose "  button is gone. What have I done wrong?

    Hi Liz,
    Sorry to hear you are having a similar problem.  Last night I went to the tool bar at the top of iphoto, clicked on "File",  then clicked "Browse Backups" in the drop down menu.    I have an external hard drive that is set up to Time Machine.   The Browse Backups  opened the iphoto pages in the Time Machine.  I selected a date one day ahead of the day I performed the now infamous update, and it showed my iphoto library as it had existed that day.   I then clicked  "Restore Library" at the bottom right corner of the Time Machine screen.   Roughly 2 hours later my iphoto was back to normal.   When I opened iphoto there was a message saying I need to upgrade my program to be compatible with the new version of iphoto(version 9.2.1).  I clicked "Upgrade" and within seconds it had done whatever upgrading it needed to do. 
    The only glitch in the restoration was that it restored the library as it appeared last week, so I no longer had photos I had imported this past weekend.   I simply went back to the Browse Backups in the drop down menu,  when Time Machine opened I selected the page showing my pictures from this weekend and again said to Restore Library.   Roughly 45 minutes later the library was restored including the most recent photos.  
    I am now a happy camper. 
    I don't know if any of this will be of help to you because your email says you are having trouble with photos imported after the upgrade was performed.   Have you had any pop up notices when you first open iphoto,  that tell you you need an upgrade to be compatible with the new iphoto?     If so have you clicked "upgrade"? 
    Good luck Liz,  if you have Time Machine running as a back up to your library, maybe you wil be able to get help there, by following my instructions above.   Otherwise,   good luck with your investigations.   I'd be interested in hearing how you make out.

  • I took pictures on my iphone when it was on the lock screen and now I can't view the pictures in all of my photos. How do I view them?

    I took pictures on my iphone when it was on the lock screen and now I can't view the pictures in all of my photos. How do I view them?

    If you go to the Photos app, is there content in the Photo Library? These would be pictures that are synced to the phone from the computer. Photos in the camera roll are those that you take with the phone, or save from email, MMS on the phone. What type of pictures are you trying to get rid of? If you are trying to get rid of the synced photos, you need to connect to iTunes, select the iPhone in the device pane, then go to the Photo tab in iTunes and remove the check mark by sync.

    Couple of things you can check to isolate the prb
    Run the detail report individually w/o navigating from the summary report
    Also make sure if your summary report runs well as such.
    As long as they run indivdually and you not even passing filters ideally it shouldnt cause any issue... Does it generate a SQL?

  • How i can check whether a component is being placed or it's being rendered during page load...

    Hi,
    I have a piece of code which needs to be triggered only when the component gets rendered.. and at the same time it shouldn't get trigerred when author places it in the page...
    For an example, Consider i have a component called samplecomponent. Also i have a piece of code in samplecomponent.jsp which should get triggered only when the component is being rendered during page load and if author places that component in the page (ofcourse the samplecomponent.jsp will get triggered but my particular piece of code should not get triggered.. Is there any condition to check that..?
    Thanks
    Shankar .A

    Hello Shankar,
    I think this is very straight forward and you can set this condition based on any of the property of your component via check null/empty condition because when you will drop your component the properties of your component will be not initialized and you can check for at (let say you have a property which is mandetory so to instantiate that component you have to have at least that property)
    And let say if above option doesn't work for you then there is one more option of checking the edit mode of the page and based on that you can differ your code. But edit mode code will not work until you will see the page in edit mode, the code will only work when you switch to preview mode (publish mode) of page from edit mode (from sidekick at bottom you have option to go to edit and preview mode).
    WCMMode mode = WCMMode.fromRequest(request);
        if (!mode.equals(WCMMode.EDIT) && !mode.equals(WCMMode.DESIGN)) {
         //this part of code never execute when your page is in edit mode (dropped content or load the page in edit mode). but this part of code will run when you switch from edit mode to previe mode (in author node) or on  publish instance of Server because there will be no edit mode there.
    Let me know if you need more information or it doesn't help you.
    Thanks,
    Pawan

  • I'm using iphone 4s, whenever i take a photo using front camera mirror view of the image is NOT saved

    I'm using iphone 4s, whenever i take a photo using front camera mirror view of the image is NOT saved. i.e, left becomes right & vice versa. To elaborate if you take a photo with your left hand index finger on your left chin it shows up as though i'm holding my right hand index finger on my right chin. This was not the case initially, i suspect this happened after photoshop app. was installled. Can someone assist?

  • Hiding photos during viewing

    Is it possible to hide certain photos in a project based on, say, a keyword ?
    I can do this using intelligent albums, but I want to hide certain photos in a project.
    The hidden photos might then be viewable using a password, for example.

    You can not password protect images.
    However, you can filter out images that contain a certain keyword. In the Query HUD simply choose to show images that Do Not Include that keyword.

  • Stil image (photo) quality in rendered project

    I'm having an issue with the quality of photos that I've added to a video. The quality of the still photo exhibits a lot of "jagged" edges along things that should be straight lines. Photos of stone walls look almost like the stones are vibrating. This happens when viewed in the canvas and in the rendered video. I have animated the photos by adjusting the scale and position at various keyframes. The effect was most notable when I used iDVD to create a DVD and viewed the contents on a TV. The photos where brought from Aperture (Brower ->Import Files).

    I'm guessing some of the problems are going from a still image in an interlaced video. I have taken the output video and run in through JES Deinterlacer, but that doesn't solve the problem. I've exported the video with both (Export -> Quicktime Conversion) and the settings suggested in http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1611. Any help in improving the quality of the still images (or any other suggestions) would be greatly appreciated.

    OK, I looked at this export some and I have a question. Why is it that "Export -> QuickTime Movie" and then changing values in another tool the right solution?
    So what I did was:
    1. Follow the steps on http://www.fcpbook.com/Video9.html. Specifically the steps to use QuickTime Pro for this (seems with Snow Leopard and FCE, QuickTime 7's pro features are unlocked).
    2. Followed the guidance http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1611 and used "Export-> Quicktime Conversion".
    It seems that in any case, you are calling the same compression codecs and thus ending at with the same thing. The file sizes are are only about 1kB different and a diff of the data provided from MediaInfo Mac (http://mediainfo.massanti.com/) show only some minor differences in the metadata in the files.
    So what exactly is different between the two different approaches and why is "QuickTime Movie" the better option? i hope this question doesn't come across as combative in any way -- I'm honestly curious about the differences and learning as much as I can about the different processes.
    Thanks for all of your help,
    Chris
    P.S. It looks like Anamorphicizer doesn't work well with 10.6 -- it throws an error and opens QuickTime X. Without tracing system calls or anything, my immediate guess is that it uses Quicktime behind the scenes and hasn't been updated to account for the existence QuickTime X.

  • Keyframing still photos causes jerky movement during transition

    I am trying to pan over a few of my still photos in my movie by using the keyframe function, and in the playback the movement appears jerky during the cross-dissolve transition.  Can anyone suggest a good way to fix this?  I am using FCE 4.0.1. 
    Thank you!

    I apologize, I just realized I found the answer to my question - I have pasted the answer from another post below for those that might be reading this:
    This is because by adding the cross dissolve, you are having FCE show portions of the clip that precede and follow where your keyframes are. So the dissolve starts, the clip is just sitting there, then begins motions when the keyframe starts . . . etc.
    You need to double click on a clip on the timeline, so that it opens in the viewer, then click on the Motion tab and move your starting keyframes for the clip before and after start and end of the transitions on the timeline.

  • PSE icons instead of the photo. I need to view photos at a glance. Please help me????

    Please help, this is driving me crazy.  I have downloaded my free PSE #9, it came with my Leica Camera.  I cannot view at a glance any of my photos.  There is only an icon that reads, PSE.  To view any of my photos, I must click select and then preview.  This gets old, and I am doing 4 times the work. I am having to use the dates to guess where my photos might be.  I hate this!  My old Photo Shop #5 didn't do this.  When you went to my pictures, you could see every photo.
    I have tried the right click and open as any program.  What ever program I choose, that is the icon that appears.  No photo. Still no good.
    Please help.
    Thanking anyone in advance,

    Hi,
    Are you using Windows Explorer to view the files?
    If so, load Explorer, go to the Tools menu and select Folder Options.
    Click on the View tab and make sure the first option (Always show icons, never thumbnails) is not checked.
    Click on OK and see if that is any better.
