Thumbnails in Navigator and slides in Light Table sizing?

can the thumbnails in the Navigator view be made larger and the same thing in the light table view... can these be made larger too?
Thank you

Unfortunately, as far as I've been able to tell, and from what I've read online, you cannot resize the thumbnails in the Navigator window or the Light Table. Hopefully at least the Light Table view will gain this functionality in the future.
Sorry!

Show skipped slides in Light Table?

Does anyone know how to display skipped slides in Light Table (or any other) view)?
I bought this new Mac mainly so I can use Keynote in my corporate training presentations.
But it takes too long to tailor each presentation, since I need to see at a glance all the slides that are skipped, instead of opening each skipped slide one at a time.
Thanks,
Paul

Yes, you can enlarge all of the slides by clicking on the icon in the lower left.
Then choose medium or large.

Keyboard navigation between slide navigator and slide canvas

Does anyone know how to switch from the slide navigator to the slide canvas using the keyboard?
Also, if you use page up/down to change to the previous/next slides, how do you use the keyboard to start editing the content of the slides again?
Any help is appreciated.

You can access a list of keyboard shortcuts in Keynote's Help menu. Hopefully you can find what you need there.
Good luck!

Question on Light Table behavior

I am wondering if it just me and a couple of others who are seeing pixelated images in a Light Table in 3.1.1?
Situation:
With Aperture 3.1.1 set to all defaults in Preferences, I create a new light table (either empty or with pre-selected images) and then drag images to the light table.
The images are small on the table. They appear to be lower quality than the images in the filmstrip to begin with. Resizing the images exagerates the problem and reveals unclear and/or pixelation.
I have done a clean install of Aperture 3 and updated to 3.0.3 and the issue does not exist. Light Table images are fine whether resized or not.
*What I have tried so far:*
1 - Clean install of OS X 10.6 and updated with 10.6.6 combo installer (repaired disk permissions once installed), then install Aperture 3 and updated to 3.1.1 (repaired disk permissions once completed). Import new images from Nikon D80 (both RAW and JPEG) and tested light table. Same issue. Then imported new .cr2 files from a friend's Canon, which all had the same issue.
2 - Copy APTS lesson files and library to drive > open with Aperture 3.1.1 (upgrade library when prompted). The existing images in that library behave correctly in Light Table, but newly imported images into that library display the image degradation / pixelation in light table.
3 - In all cases, I have tried to delete / generate Previews as well as Thumbnails. None of these have sorted the issue.
Note - it almost appears to me that the images used on the light table are actually small thumbnails that are low quality on the light table and any subsequent resizing pixelates the image.
Note #2 - the strange thing in all cases is that using the loupe tool and panning over the images in the light table shows high-quality image.
I am trying to determine if it is my machine (or procedure) specifically, or if there are others experiencing this in large numbers.
I have 8 GB RAM and the nVidia 8800 GT upgrade card in my machine. Whether just Aperture 3.1.1 is installed or with all my normal software, no difference in Light Table behavior.
Looking for comments as to whether users have no issues like this or any who do.
I have already sent a report to Apple.
Thanks in advance for any comments.

SP,
I do not think this is intended behavior, as it works as expected in AP 3.0.3.
I sent a bug report via the feedback function in the Aperture menu and will follow up with a second one. I was hoping that other users would chime in as to whether they were experiencing the issue, or if it is working correctly on their system. Unfortunately, there has been no response other than yours as you can see.
There are two other threads since the release of 3.1.1 where 3 or 4 other users are having the same issue (at least as far as the pixelation / low resolution image issue).
On my system, the default size of the light table changed between 3.0.3 and 3.1.
In 3.0.3 the light table starts off smaller (with larger grid squares as if zoomed in) and dragging the images onto the table show the same quality image on the table as in the filmstrip. In 3.1 (and 3.1.1) the light table starts off much larger (with smaller grid squares as if zoomed out) and dragging an image from the filmstrip results in a smaller sized thumbnail showing on the light table at the lower quality.
I have also been going back through the 'Apple Pro Training Series - Aperture 3' book using the included library and lesson files (to test for functionlity with AP 3.1.1 and iPhoto '11) and I find that in lesson 3 where the light table is used, the same issue appears once you resize one of the images next to smaller images (which results in the three smaller images being lower quality than the resized image).
My guess is that the thumbnail / preview function connected with the light table sizing is creating an issue where the light table is using a smaller thumbnail when it should be switching to (or using from the beginning) a preview for quality. The fact that the image viewed under the loupe tool is high quality lends to this theory - IMHO.
I am hoping that this is fixed in 3.1.2 (if they release an update), since I would like to use the light table for layout decisions and for comparing multiple images. The bad image quality sort of shoots this function in the foot for me.
The only real fix is to revert to AP 3.0.3 and forego the 3.1.1 improvements which really isn't a fix.
To any others reading this post, could you please indicate whether the light table image quality is fine for you or whether you are experiencing the bad quality / pixelation issue I am? It would help me in discovering whether this is machine (hardware) specific or a wider issue.
Thanks in advance for any help.

Light Table: Can you maintain stacking order?

In a light table, is there any way to maintain the stacking order (i.e., which image remains on top of several images)?
It seems that when you move to another item (an album, a web page, etc.) and then go back to the light table, the stacking order is not the same as I last left it: some images appear underneath other images, even though I did not leave them that way before navigating out of the light table.
(And by "stacking order", I'm not talking about Aperture's Stacks; I'm just talking about the 3-D order of the images on the light table itself.)
Power Mac G5, Dual 2GHz, 3.5GB ram, X800 XT Mac OS X (10.4.5) iBook G3 800 MHz, 640 MB, ComboDrive

Good news and bad news.
With Aperture 1.1, the good news is that it now does remember which order they were stacked in, after navigating away from the light table and navigating back to it.
The bad news is now it absolutely won't print them in the order that I stack them in. It must somehow memorize their stacking order and will always try to print them in the same stacking order, regardless of how I re-select them to change the stacking order.

Light Table & Keyword Filtering - Bug?

Here's my scenario. Project with say 30 images. 10 have the keyword "Monday", 10 the keyword "Tuesday", and the remaining 10, "Wednesday". Select them all, and create a Light Table from selection.
So, I the Light Table 'album' I now filter all those with the keyword "Monday" (using the search - field top RH of the browser strip), all 10 are shown, and select my favourite 5. I drag these 5 to the viewer area (Light Table). I clear the keyword field to none (show all), and all thirty reappear - The 5 I dragged to the viewer now have the red '1' badges on their browser thumbnails and are still on the Light Table.
Next I type "Tuesday" into the search field. All 5 on the light Table disappear, and the browser shows me the 10 with the "Tuesday" keyword. Again, I select my favourite 5 and drag them to the (empty) Light Table. There they are etc.
So the crunch. I now clear the search field again, but where are the 5 I put up there keyworded "Monday"!? The 5 with "Tuesday are now up there, and sure, they're back in the browser, but they've lost their red '1' badges, and have been taken off the Light Table.
This seems crap to me. Perhaps I doing something wrong or is this a bug? I want to be able to put things on the Light Table, and have them stay there despite whatever search I conduct. Surely Aperture should remember which ones I've selected and leave them up there shouldn't it?
Thanks
Kevin

OK, so figured out a convoluted bodge-around:
1. Make an album of all your selects. Select all and make a new Light Table(LT) from all.
2. With LT selected, click the lock icon.
3. With LT still selected, hold down apple key, and select your album of selects (step 1). This opens this album in a separate tab, but because lock icon on LT is selected, the LT viewer area is still visible.
4. in you album of selects, type your chosen keyword search. From the resulting set, select and drag the image(s) to the LT viewer. Do this with as many keyword searches as required. When done you can optionally close the selects album tabbed browser.
5. Use LT as you normally would. You can now toggle on/off images by keyword by typing it in search field.
Any other methods I've tried crashes Aperture.
Comments anyone?

Gray Box Light Table View

OK, after search for some time, I have no idea why I have a gray box on the upper right corner of some of my slides in light table view (see attached photo). Anybody have an idea why this is there? Both of these slides use the same master template (title only).
Thanks
-- Earl

OK, I figured out that the gray box in the upper right corner lets me know that there are Presenter Notes attached to that slide. The boxes also show up in Navigation View IF you select to show presenter notes.

Problem with Light Table in Bridge CS6

Hi! After a re-install (which didn't fix the problem with PS), I now find that, when using the light table in Bridge CS6 and after hitting the space bar, if I then click on the image, it goes to 800% size! Prior to the uninstall & re-install, it worked perfectly in taking images to 100% size.
Hope someone can help.......
Thanks, Wardie

Why did you reinstall photoshop cs6?
What operating system are you using?
Did you reinstall all the updates for photoshop cs6 by going to Help>Updates from within photoshop cs6?
After you enter the light table, use your mouse scroll wheel to zoom back to 100% and exit the light table.
The next time you go to the light table and click on the picture it should only go to 100%.

Disappearance of Light Table Symbol in Bridge CC

In Adobe Bridge CS6 a little symbol was at the top right of the screen which allowed you to click on it to go directly to Light Table. In Bridge CC, the symbol is not there necessitating an extra click in a drop down dialogue to go to Light Table. I go back and forth between Light Table and Filmstrip a million times a day and the extra clicks seem unnecessary. Also, there is no keyboard shortcut for Light Table. What happened to the little symbol?

You should be able to drag out all the workspace names so they show in the Options Bar.
(click on the little divider highlighted in the screenshot below and drag left or right)
You can also drag on the names to change the order.

How to remove selected image from a light table?

According to the Aperture User Manual, when I select an image on a light table, I should be able to remove it (while still leaving it in the light table browser). However, this seems to work only for the image I most recently added to the light table -- when I select an image I added just before the most recent, the button at the upper left for "Light Table Put Back Selected" is grayed out. (Also, the command-shift-P shortcut shown in the tooltip doesn't do anything.) Am I misunderstanding the use of this button? Doing something wrong? I added some images, and decided I wanted to put a few of them back, but can't figure out a way to do that. Makes the light table pretty useless except for layout of a set of images you are already committed to. Doesn't seem possible.

Hey, thanks -- everything worked as you described. It never would have occurred to me that the "put back" button refers to the browser selection not the layout selection, for reasons I give below.
I think Aperture exhibits some conceptual confusion here. First of all, a "light table" is created by the New > Light Table command, and you add images to the newly created light table just as you would add them to an album. But those images don't go on the light table layout until you drag them from the browser to the layout table. The "put back" button and "remove from light table" contextual menu command both mean remove from the layout. The phrasing of the contextual menu command make it sounds as if it will remove the clicked image from the light table's collection of images, like removing an image from an album -- it would have made more sense to name this command "put back". Furthermore, the "put back" button is above the layout display, not above the browser, which to me implies that it applies to selections in the layout display. To select an image in the browser, and click "put back selected" seems backwards -- if you just selected the image in the browser, your attention is focused on the browser, not the layout; from the browser's point of view, the button should read "bring back" not "put back".
The documentation didn't really help when I was trying to figure this out. Sometimes the Aperture documentation refers to just a "light table", as on the overview on page 732. On pages 733 and 734, though, it refers to a "light table album". On page 735 of the Aperture manual there is a very brief explanation of how "to add images to the light table" and "to remove an image from the light table". Here, "light table" refers to the layout not the album. The explanation of the "Put Back Selected" button says to select an image then click the button, and the picture shown is of an image selected in the layout, not in the browser.

Feature Request: Slideshow and Light table

Hello
I was hoping for two features in the next Lightroom:
First a more professional audio-slideshow option. More parallel soundtracks possible on a timeline are a must I think. More editing tools for timing the slides and the audio as well. And the possibility to add video files would be good. Nowadays multimedia slideshows are getting more and more important in photo-journalism and I am afraid Lightroom is getting a little behind on that part. Since the slideshow option has its own separate panel in Lightroom, it might as well be a good one...
Last week I saw the new Aperture 3. Although it is not perfect yet either (the main track is not editable), I really do think they got it right with their slideshow options ...
Second, I would like to see a Light table (again like in Aperture) to quickly view/arrange a selection of pictures manually in the field. See what pictures work well together in a story/magazine and what pictures are still needed ...
The current Survey view doesn't let me arrange the pictures manually. It starts moving pictures around without me being able to influence it.
Kind regards
Johannes Abeling

I was also disappointed that video is not supported in the slideshow module -I currently have to use another solution when I want stills mixed with videos, would be great to be ablo to keep it all in LR!

Light table and stacks

Hello,
I was recently trying to drag image(s) from a stack to a "light table" folder. What happens is that is moved the entire stack in the "light table" folder, instead of the one or two specific image(s) I would like to have in the "light table "folder.
Moreover, once in the "light table" folder, I can't drag one or two specific image(s) from the stack without having the whole stack on the light table... In order to achieve this, I have to unstack these images... but they get unstacked in the original project folder as well !!!
Thanks for your feedback...
And happy new year !
Seb.

Sébastien -- this is by design. Stacks are designed to
- keep images together
- have only one "pick" for each Aperture container.
They are the virtual manifestation of the old practice of (literally) stacking nearly identical slide versions of a shot while sorting on a light-table, with the best of the set on top.
Because of the way Stacks are implemented, it makes sense to use them only for sets of images which are
- very similar
- will have only one "pick".
I use Stacks for the following:
- same shot with minor camera setting changes (aperture, exposure duration, ISO, etc., but not usually changes in composition)
- rapid fire shots. If I get two or more good shots, I split the Stack.
- bracketed sets. Once I have created a new image from the bracketed shots, I import it, add it to the Stack, and make it the "pick".
I also use Stacks for Versions. Here logic and rigor break down. (I have recommended that Apple allow for a special type of Stack for stacked Versions.) Almost always, I will end up with one "pick" from the Versions. Once in a while though (often with cropped details) I will end up with more than one "pick". The only thing to do then if you need to use more than one pick in an Aperture container, is to split the Stack. This severs the Version from its siblings. I don't like that -- but that's how it works.
Note that Light-tables in Aperture are just a special instance of an Album.
What Frank was trying to get you to see is that it's your use of Stacks which is causing your problem. There is nothing to be gained from putting the images you want in a Light-table in an Album first.

Create and Save a Photo Colllage from Light Table

Hi Everyone,
I want to create a montage of several photos that I can save as one .JPG or similar, then take and have printed as a large photo collage.
I have had limited success using Apertures Light Table feature, however cannot find a way to save the entire light table as a single image for printing.
Can anyone offer any advise on this, or perhaps suggest a different application that will do the job?
Best Regards
Darryn

If a PDF format works for you, then you can simply choose the light table, select FILE->PRINT LIGHT TABLE and in the window that pops up you can select SAVE AS PDF.
Then you can print that file...
Cheers,

Light tables and multiple items

I am trying to discover how to add an image to a light table more than once.
Both Apple's documentation and the Luna book say it's possible but I don't quite get the trick involved.

Ian,
Rather the other way around. I'm pretty sure I
remember dragging Versions onto a light table
multiple times before 1.5.
I did a clean install back to v1.1 to test this and it doesn't work there either. Either Long & Luna were confused and when they wrote that part of the book and mistook a feature of Aperture books where you can use an image more than once or they had advice from Apple about a feature that didn't get implemented.
I think the ability to have an image master or version appear in a single light table more than once would be a useful feature. I will use Aperture feedback to tell Apple this.
On a related note I called Apple Care tech support for the Aperture application and asked them: "How should the program work in this area?"
I wanted to see if what I was observing was the normal behavior.
The response I got from Tech support was so STUPID that I was astonished! The rep told me to first delete my plist file then export all my image masters and create a new library and reimport the masters. I told him that procedure would loose all of the metadata and adjustments Aperture contained for my 28,000 master files, throwing away 100's of hours of work. He said it was the only way to find out if I could add a image multiple times to a light table.
The rep didn't really seem to know much at all about Aperture and when I challenged him on this point he defended himself saying that he had to support all the pro apps and couldn't really know much about any of them. He concluded by saying that if I wanted to find out how the program was supposed to be working I would have to call tech support at Peachpit since they published the Long & Luna manual.
It was a very dissapointing response but I probably shouldn't have been too surprised. Non existent tech suppport is the norm for our times. I did expect Apple to do a bit better though.........

Book, Web Gallery and Light Table Not Working

When I try to create a new book or open an old one the design window does not open. Cannot get to the light table and other features as well.
Where did they all go?

This sounds odd. Did you try quitting and relaunching? You might delete the .plist in the Preferences and rebuild the database (Option>CMD on launch).
