Saving spot and patch adjustments

After using spot and patch, the circles delineating my spot and patch work remain. How do I save the image after spotting and patching so that I can view the image as complete without the track marks of my work?
Thanks very much.
p.s.
I think Apple has made a big mistake with their very high fee for support.

And it's also worth pointing out that even when the Spot & Patch tool is NOT selected, you can still adjust all of the Spot & Patch parameters on the Adjustments HUD or Panel without seeing the yellow target circles.
I do this all the time, because it's much easier to make these adjustments without the circles visible. With the Spot & Patch tool selected, click on the particular spot that you want to modify. Then press "A" to switch back to the Selection tool (to hide the circles) and then make your adjustments to Opacity, Softness, etc. with an unobstructed view.
Same deal works for Red-eye.

Spot and patch random behaviour

hi,
i have been using the spot/patch tool. i edit my images full screen, select the point to patch, and everything works fine.
then i look at the images in the regular window, or maybe open them later on, and the patch circle is right there where i put it, but no adjustment is there anymore. actually, the adjustment is in the photo, but somewhere else (down an inch, on a side or so on). i do not do anything else than using the tool, selecting the spot, getting the circle and the right adjustment, closing the image.
any ideas on how to stop this. it is making the tool quite unusable, unless i print/save atiff right after (and that does not make sense).
thanks,
@lberto

It must only be impacting the thumbnails because when I export a copy out of the photo with a problem the spot and patch adjustments are there whereas when you view it within aperture they aren't. Also at times when you go back to the photo within aperture is shows it's fine but a few minutes later it won't be. The actual file must have the adjustments on it since it exports out fine.

Who is happy with Spot and Patch?

First let me say that I'm thrilled almost completely with Aperture in general. It pretty much solidified my transition to digital from film. I have a long workflow history with scanned slides and photoshop so I am quite used to and adept at spotting and patching my shots with their wonderful healing brush, clone tool, etc. I was excited about the prospects of using aperture for all the minute details that go into a workflow but the one glaring shortcoming is the spot and patch tool. I find the spot tool does a very bad job of using surrounding details to fill in a spot. You get a circular blur that might be accurate color wise but retains no detail. This is very apparent on skin. It's pretty much unusable. And the patch tool is a poor substitute for cloning. No matter what I do I cannot get it to blend in, I always see the circle.
I know what you all are going to say, just shoot it over to photoshop. This is what I've been doing but it really causes the size of your library to grow since you don't get the advantages of the smaller RAW file size.
Maybe in Aperture 2.0? Any one have any thoughts.

I've had very good success with the Spot and Patch tool, but you have to be very careful about the areas you work with. Chad's advice is very good---read the PDF. Note that the PDF says at the very outset under "Spotting Your Images"--"When the area around the blemish is continuous (such as a solid color) and doesn’t contain a distinct texture, you can use the spotting method to obscure the blemish by integrating the pixels that surround it."
In my experience, that advice is critical. Spotting and patching replace pixels with other pixels. Ideally, what you want to do is have Aperture take out an anomolous set of pixels (they don't match their surrounding pixels, hence they create a spot) and replace these pixels with ones that have the same characteristics of the surrounding pixels. So, for example, if the spot is in the middle of a very varied area, Aperture has trouble determining what you want as a replacement for the offending area.
The PDF tells us a lot about how to adjust the spotting and patching when the conditions for the operation are not ideal.

Question on Spot and Patch Tool

Hi,
I don't know if it is not knowing how to use it properly or not, but I have a great deal of trouble with that tool sometimes. I have a difficult time getting a spot/patch to blend properly. For example, if I take out a dust spot, sometimes the patch or spot looks too plain with no noise, so it doesn't blend in properly. I have tried fiddling with the softness and other settings and sometimes it gives an acceptable result(usually an area of constant colour range like blue sky), and other times it just doesn't seem possible to get it to blend in properly?
Is this a limitation of the tool ?

I used it last night for the first time - it works best for removing obvious blemishes - it would take ages to remove lines etc - a lot depends on the source for the patch - has to be virtually identical to the area one wants to amend. I used it to great effect to get rid of a giant dribble from the chin of my 2 y/o daughter - took some pixels from the bid and hey presto dribble gone and hello bib - it would be v useful to get rid of eg stains on a dirty bib (you can see what my main subject is these days) also on a face getting rid of a zit or similar - as for lines I think that is v delicate work and not sure it is suited to that - of course I could be wrong.

Spot and Patch tool with grain picture

I have a big problem, most of my picture are with a lot of grain, i used to shot with really high iso.
When i try to use the patch tool, it seem that it work fine only with no grain picture, i tried to move all the slide, but i'm not able to have a really good work, for most of the picture i have to use photoshop to remove all the spot.
Now i found that retouch tool are a lot better then patch, anyone have some idea that can help me? I am trying to use aperture as the only program to work on my picture.
Thanks a lot.

I think if there's a lot of grain you'd have better luck with the clone part of the tool, as it should clone the grain as well. The trick is whether you have anywhere in the photo you can really clone from.

Try:
Settings>>WiFi, and then turn off Ask for Conection;
Or:
Settings>>Privacity, be sure the Location Service is turn on;
Or:
In Settings>>General>>Reset, select "Reset all Adjusts". (Sorry, but it will change some personal adjustments, but will not delete anything at all)

HI wat's use of notes and patches in sap why its require..

Hi can anyone give me idea about notes and patches why its required and wat's its effect in technical side and in functional side also..
Thanks & Regards,
Nainesh.

Sorry,The print did not come.
In order to fix one of the problem in R/3 system, SAP will asked you to download an OSS notes which is a ".car" file.
To work with a CAR File do the following at OS Level:
Get into OS as <sapsid>adm
Copy the .CAR file to a Temporary Directory.
Uncompress the file with SAPCAR
Copy the the data file generated in the data transport directory
( ej: = /usr/Sap/trans/data).
Copy the the cofile file generated in the cofiles transport directory
( = ej: /usr/Sap/trans/cofiles).
Run transaction STMS
Upload the support package with SPAM transaction and the support package will show "New support packages".
Examples of CAR command :-
   1) UNIX only:
       Log on as user <sapsid>adm.
       cd /usr/sap/trans
       CAR -xvf tmp/<ARCHIVE_NAME>.CAR -V
   2) Windows NT only:
       Log on as user <SAPSID>ADM.
       cd \USR\SAP\TRANS
       CAR -xvf TMP\<ARCHIVE_NAME>.CAR
This Will create two(2) FILES
After you run SPAM you MUST run STMS and check the transport queues
As per 315963 note you can direct made the changes in the program or you can apply the support pack.
a) If you want to apply correction then first you need to register the object in SAP, so that you will get the Access key and then you can make the changes.
b) If you want to import the support pack then you need to down load from SAP market-place. and this is in CAR file. and then you need extract the same using CAR utility.
ex: CAR -xvf abc.car
or
you can directly apply the patch from SAPGUI, login to 000 client and then you can load the patch from Presentation server.
Also check what is your current basis patch level?
For example if you want to apply patch 07 and you are having 05 then you need to apply 06 and then apply 07.
Things to take note of:-
It would definitely be better to apply the latest spam/saint spam manager, tp, R3trans and possibly a new kernel patch.
This is not a simple task to complete on the fly. By applying SAP support packs, you may run into problems with SPDD and SPAU adjustments. Also include the fact that the support packages may break one of your transactions. You may want to test this in your sandbox environment, if you have one, before tackling it.
In most situation when you apply support packages, it can takes about 3 weeks to fully test the support packages before you can apply them to the production system.
Do test your "golden" transactions to make sure that they are not broken. If you are not familiar with SPDD and/or SPAU adjustments than do not attempt to load support packages.
You may be better off just to modify the SAP object in question via OSS note.

Summing Track Stack not properly saving as a patch???

Hey Guys,
So...
- I created a Yah-Yah talking bass with the FM setting on the Retro Synth
- used a bitcrusher to create the formant effect by downsampling
- Then I created a new track for a sub bass sound seperate from the Yah-Yah
- I put both the Yah-Yah and the Sub Bass into a Summing Track stack.
- With the Track Stack selected I clicked Save in the Library Named and saved as a Patch, Yah-Yah Bass
Then when I Create a new track and select my Yah-Yah bass Patch from the library The track stack pops up with some random channel strip settings with busses added and I'm confused as ****. I never had any buses on the original track stack to begin with so where'd they come from???

It’s possible some of the open images were not in a folder being managed by Elements (normally a sub-folder of Pictures or My Pictures) and you did not notice that only add to Organizer was checked and version set was grayed out. That’s the reason you had to import them.
If you always open from a sub-folder of the watch folder (normally My Pictures) your edits will get added automatically to a version set.

I am in the middle of a job using CS 6, but at the same time opening the Creative Suite apps. I created an InDesign file in CS 6, saved it, and now I can't open it. I'm getting this message: Cannot open file because it was saved with a newer version of Adobe InDesign CC (10.1). You must use that version or later to open the file." AARRGGHH! So how do I access the file?

Sounds like you opened and saved it in CC, so now you need to go back to CC and either complete the project there, or export to IDML to take it back into CS6.

I have 2 apple id's with different apps and data saved under each. It's very annoying so now I want to create a new id with my primary email address I use now. If I do that is there any way to transfer all my saved apps and app data like game saves etc?

I have 2 apple id's with different apps and data saved under each. It's very annoying so now I want to create a new id with my primary email address I use now. If I do that is there any way to transfer all my saved apps and app data like game saves etc so I don't lose all of that information and can easily switch to a singular apple id?

Apple does not transfer content bought with one Apple ID to another Apple ID. Apple will not merge two Apple IDs.
If most of your content was bought with the Yahoo! Apple ID but you now want the Gmail address for your Apple ID, the trick will be to change the address used for the Yahoo ID with the Gmail address. However, to do that you must first free the Gmail address from that other Apple ID. Use the instructions from Apple to substitute another address that is not used as an Apple ID for your Gmail address in the Apple ID with the Gmail address. Then, when the Gmail address is no longer used in an Apple ID, you can use the same instructions to substitute the Gmail address for the Yahoo address in the Apple ID with the Yahoo address.

I've been using numbers for iPad and I accidentally deleted a column. And the auto-save feature saved that and now I can't undo it. Does iCloud storage have backups of saved files from like 10 minutes ago? I have numbers synced to iCloud.
I tried to undo it but the app crashed.
I am hoping there's like a previously saved version of my file in iCloud somewhere.

No, iOS does not do short term incremental back ups to iCloud such as you get with Time Capsule.It backs up when you do soo manually, or if set properly, when the device is plugged in and connected to WiFi. It will not have saved your changes as of 10 minutes prior.

How to Use Multiple iDevices with One Computer

While using a drop-down menu i.e. File, edit, image, or even when saving as and choosing the file type; the list appears and I am able to highlight what i want but cannot click on anything.

While using a drop-down menu i.e. File, edit, image, or even when saving as and choosing the file type; the list appears and I am able to highlight what i want but cannot click on anything. This is becoming incredibly frustrating. It happens at random time and a restart of the computer is all that helps, then with out any notice it starts to do this again. Mac Book Pro i7 2.2 16 GB 1333 Ram, (2) 450GB SSD both internal to machine. At this point I am losing file because I am unable to save in the file type I need. Does anyone out there know how to solve this issue?
Thanks
phil

I haven't been unify photoshop much in the past month, but I did try your suggestion and it seemed to work for a while. Today when i went to save a document the same thing happened: click on file>save at this point I can not click on save even though it is highlighted. Tryed to use command s that brings up the save dialogue box, but when I try to change file type I again cannot select it from the drop down menu.
