Skin smoothing stopped working and color overlay

Hi All,
Been tearing my hair out.
The skin smoothing tool has stopped working completely across all projects. If I select "color overlay" in the gears menu, sometimes the existing smooth brush strokes appear in red,.. but mostly they don't.
** I can't add any new brush strokes ** they simply do not appear. Interestingly, if you select brush strokes you can see the strokes but the actual skin smooth filter isn't applied to the mask! WEIRD! You can also select invert and the filter is applied to the whole image - but you cannot manipulate the mask at all.
I've reinstalled Aperture and I've also rebuilt the library but nothing seems to work.
Background: I'm running Aperture 3.4.3 on Macbook Retina with latest OS, 16Gb/500SSD - nothing else and I'm shooting with a Nikon D800 in RAW.
Does anyone have any ideas on how to fix this? I have a sweaty model that needs airbrushing ASAP!
Thanks,
Matthew

Matthew, does it work, if you use a different Aperture library? Then repair your Aperture library.
If it does not even work for a different Aperture library,try working from a different user account. Can you use the brushes there? If yes, remove your Aperture User Preferences from your User Library:
The user library is hidden.  To reveal it, use the Finder's "Go" menu.
Click somewhere on your empty Desktop to bring the Finder forward, then you'll see "Go" in the Finder's main menu bar.
Then hold down the options key ⌥ until "library" appears in the drop down menu. Click Library to open.  Remove the file
your Home Folder/Library/Preferences/com.apple.Aperture.plist.
Regards
Léonie

  • 「Display driver has stopped working and recovered successfully」

    I have a MSI GS60 2PC GHOST laptop.
    Graphic Driver: Intel HD Graphics 4600
    When I was playing a game on my laptop, it suddenly lagged or the game screen turned black, then recover, turned black then recover... multiple times and each time I get a message saying that the "display driver has stopped working and recovered successfully" on the bottom right.
    I have tried updating the graphic driver and it worked for about an hour or so, and the problem came back.
    Need help in solving this problem!

    Does this happen when you run the game by using dGPU(NVIDIA graphics) or iGPU(Intel graphics)?
    (Check the color of your power button light, it lights red when dGPU is running and blue when iGPU is running)
    Does this happen on all games you play or just one single game?
    Tell your current graphics driver version(both NVIDIA and Intel graphics driver).
    If you're running the game with NVIDIA graphics, check your vbios version in NVIDIA control panel(Right click on the desktop> NVIDIA Control Panel> System Information>Video BIOS). There is version 80.04.EF.00.22 released on the MSI website, and if you have a different one, I'd suggested to update the VBIOS and see if the problem still remains.

    I reloaded iTunes 10 (64 bit) successfully, but the problem remains the same.
    Any suggestions?

    I looked in the folder from which I want to synch photos, but there is no such thing as an "ipod photo cache" in that folder, or sub-folders, as suggested in the link which you were nice enough to provide.
    I have also tried removing photos from my iPad2 Photos App, and "iTunes has stopped working" shows up  again as soon as I click on the "Synch photos from" button.

  • When I click on any of my movie or TV shows in Itunes I immediately get an error message that says Itunes has stopped working and closes the program. I can sync the movies and shows to my phone okay but I can't watch on Itunes. Can anyone help?

    When I click on any of my movie or TV shows in Itunes I immediately get an error message that says Itunes has stopped working and closes the program. I can sync the movies and shows to my phone okay but I can't watch on Itunes. Can anyone help?

    Let's try the following user tip with that one:
    iTunes for Windows 10.7.0.21: "iTunes has stopped working" error messages when playing videos, video podcasts, movies and TV shows

  • Itunes stops working and I get an error message "APPCRASH" when I try to play a downloaded TV show. I have udated Itunes and removed and reinstalled quicktime.

    When I try to play a downloaded TV show, itunes stops working and I get a error message "APPCRASH". I have updated itunes and removed and reinstalled quicktime.

    Open your QuickTime control panel (either via the Control panels, or by going "Edit > Preferences > QuickTime Preferences" in the Quicktime Player). In the Advanced tab, uncheck Enable Direct3D video acceleration:
    ... and click OK.
    Quit the QuickTime Player if you have it open. Restart the PC and try watching the videos in iTunes again. Do they play now?

  • ITunes has stopped working and has to close message on Win 7

    When I plug my phone into the computer iTunes starts to open and then I get an error message that states iTunes has stopped working and has to close.  This seems to only happen while at work and not at home

    For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
    The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down the page in case one of them applies.
    The further information area has direct links to the current and recent builds in case you have problems downloading, need to revert to an older version or want to try the iTunes for Windows (64-bit - for older video cards) release as a workaround for installation or performance issues, or compatibility with QuickTime or third party software.
    Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there also links to backup and recovery advice should it be needed.

  • My USB port on my Macbook Pro stopped working and i tried the SMC reset and the one closest to the SD port still continues to not work. Is there anything i can do besides bringing it in?

    I would do another SMC reset. If nothing changes you should take the computer in to an Apple store for a free diagnostic. You should make an appointment.

  • Itunes will not open on computer says it has stopped working and it must be closed. My computer tells me its an incompatible app. Is there a problem with the new itunes or is it my computer?

    I have recently downloaded the new itunes. My computer will open itunes but then a screen pops up that says Itunes has stopped working and must close. This happens every time and i can not by pass it. I am afraid all my music is gone as well. I found on my computer that its an incompatible app. What does that mean exactly? Was itunes installed incorrectly? I have had itunes on my computer before and worked just fine and had no problems. Is it possibly a computer issue or Itunes? Need help thanks

    Not completely sure. But if you think it is an iTunes issue...... follow through this: Removing and reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows Vista or Windows 7
    ALSO, if you feel like all your music will be gone as well follow through these 2:

    IF YOU THINK ITS A COMPUTER ISSUE, RESTART YOUR COMPUTER BEFORE DOING ALL THIS.

    Photos/videos in the Camera Roll are not synced. Photos/videos in the Camera Roll are not touched with the iTunes sync process. Photos/videos in the Camera Roll can be imported by your computer which is not handled by iTunes. Most importing software includes an option to delete the photos/videos from the Camera Roll after the import process is complete. If is my understanding that some Windows import software supports importing photos from the Camera Roll, but not videos. Regardless, the import software should not delete the photos/videos from the Camera Roll unless you set the app to do so.
    Photos/videos in the Camera Roll are included with your iPhone's backup. If you synced your iPhone with iTunes before the videos on the Camera Roll went missing and you haven't synced your iPhone with iTunes since they went missing, you can try restoring the iPhone with iTunes from the iPhone's backup. Don't sync the iPhone with iTunes again and decline the prompt to update the iPhone's backup after selecting Restore.

  • How can I avoid this message and the crash that follows? -"the program has unexpectedly stopped working and will close"

    I am working on some books that I have had no problem creating in Indesign  and this week, I was doing something and got an error message and had the program crash while I was working on something and lose my unsaved work. It happens all of a sudden and has been frustrating. Thought it was an installation issue, but this also happens on the newest version of CS6.
    The original files (“books”) were created in CS4.
    What I’m doing is copying a template for the appendix that was established in the first book into all subsequent books.
    Here is the process that I used on CS4 for the first 10 books –
    1.       open a file that already has the completed new appendix.
    2.       Open a file that needs the new appendix
    3.       Select the appendix pages from the pages menu in the completed file and “move” them to the new file.
    4.       Voila!
    When I started using CS5 this worked for one book. Now the last book is giving me an error message during step 3. So, I select the pages I want to move and click “move” and then I get a message that says “the program has unexpectedly stopped working and will close”. This is the same message I got with CS6.

    Same problem here. Firefox keeps freezing, sometimes for 5 minutes, then either starts working again really slowly or I get the plug-in error crash. This last time I copied what windows said about the error. This is the info:

    Don't know what it means or if it will help solve the issue, but thought I would share it.
    All I know is that I am about to do something I never thought I would, switch to Chrome.
