Using Aperture, is it possible to do perspective (or parallax) correction? Say I've taken a photo of a rectange, a painting for example, and the angles of the rectangle need to be adjusted so that each corner is 90 degrees. When I was using a PC, I often did this with Corel Paint Show Pro, which makes this an easy job, but now I'm using MacBook with Aperture and have so far failed to find this feature.

Aperture seems to maintain a one-to-one correspondence between imported pixels and pixels in adjusted Images. Distorting the Image creates a one-to-many relationship. My guess is that this introduces the need for a second level of information storage (in fact, a whole new file). Aperture is expressly designed to avoid that.
I'm just guessing about Aperture (having felt all around it, but still blindfolded), but I thought it might help to comprehend this basic limitation of Aperture and how it determines the workflow one uses for Aperture.

Acquiring 4 channels at 10kHz using PCI-6070E card and Labview 7.0. I need to average a signal that is time-locked to an analog trigger. Is their an available vi to accomplish this?

I am acquiring 4 channels of data, sampling at 10 kHz. I am using a PCI-6070E board. I need to average a biological signal time-locked to an analog trigger that occurs at about 3/second. Is there a vi that will accomplish this?

If you are looking for a way to do a "retriggerable" acquisition, there is a shipping example called Acquire N - Multi-Analog Hardware Trig.vi that accomplishes this. However, please note that this example achieves this effect by reconfiguring the task for each trigger in software. This means there is a delay between reconfigurations. If a trigger signal comes during this reconfiguration, it will be missed. This delay is system dependent on how fast your computer can execute the reconfiguration code. The 6070E does not support hardware retriggerable acquisitions.
However, if you are wanting to acquire continuously and then do some post-acquisition analysis, I couldn't find any examples that accomplish this, but it wouldn't be too hard to build one yourself. Y
ou would probably want to include your trigger signal as an additional input channel. Then once you've acquired all of your data, in software you can scan through the data acquired for the 5th channel and then segment your data according to that signal. I hope this information helps.

Is it possible to add a dozen or more host files to completly block Yahoo or MS Bing and keep it off the search engine.

I do not want Bing in my computer.
I get angry and uninstall the new firefox because i can not keep bing at bay. Every time I go back and install Firefox because I do not like Opera I have Microsoft's Bing invading my system as yahoo search or bing.
I want to know what are the host files I need to enter, so I can completely block this search engine virus that keeps invading my system.

For the record: Yahoo search is Microsoft Bing, with a different name.
Yahoo search was a great search engine in the past, that knowledge was given to Microsoft to improve Bing, and Yahoo signed an financial agreement with Microsoft to use Bing.
I can remove Bing, but it always returns in 6 hours, or in several days. It has the qualities of malware, in that it keeps reappearing. There is no method I can find of keeping Bing search off my system, other than to not install Firefox.

Change the edge type from feathered to anti-aliased in the

I use a pc. i keep getting a server error messge trying to upload photos to my iPad and iPhone via iCloud. the error states can't update photostream, server error.

uploading worked in the beginning, but in the last few days it has not. how should i proceed.

Go into Settings, iCloud on your iPad & iPhone. Turn streaming on there. I did that when I first set up my phone & iPad & have not had any problems. It will only stream over new photos so take one on your phone & see what happens. I hope that works for you.

When I external edit an aperture photo using Photoshop Elements 9 and then get out, the changes are not reflected in Aperture when I return - this used to work for me but doesn't seem to have for some time - help please?

Have used Aperture for some time - at some point this stopped working - not sure when
workflow:
click photo and elect to use the external editor (Photoshop Elements 9)
Copy of the photo is created in Aperture with the "O" badge and I am rolled out to Photoshop
Have to change the type to 8-bit in Photoshop to start making changes
When done and I exit I am prompted to save the photo
On returning to Aperture however the "O" badged photo does not get updated/reflect my changes
Other Things:
I can find a changed photo sitting in the Aperture Library using finder or Photoshop itself - so I know changes have been made a new file saved (TIFF).
I am wondering if I am missing some (new) preference such that the changes are not proerly being saved for re-display/storage in the Aperture Library
I am running Lion OSX at the moment but the behaviour was the same under Snow Lepoard versions.
Current version of Aperture is 3.1.3, Elements is 9.0
Any help/suggestions greatfully received

Try using psd. Some rerports indicate some confustion between the apps with TIFF. See:
https://discussions.apple.com/message/15921933#15921933
I cannot confirm, nor test, since I use PS CS5, and not Elements.

"Quarter moons" in each corner of computer screen

I have a MacBookPro and an iMac that I try to maintain with similar configurations and applications, however; I am at a loss with a "problem" that has appeared on my laptop.
In each corner of the screen are what I would describe as "quarter moons" or quarter circles. I have searched my Preferences high and low and cannot find a way to remove them or find a use for them. In addition, and I am not sure if this is related, but all around the edge of the visible screen is a very thin black frame about 1/8" wide. If it is of any help in trying to resolve this conundrum, I do have Teleport installed on both computers, but I can't see where there is a relation between this application and the problem at hand.
Only one other aspect that may be related is that I have on occasion used the laptop with a projector, but again I don't see the connection as to why I have these quarter moons in each corner or the this frame around the visible screen.
I feel fairly confident that the issue is related to some start-up item in my folder, but I have tried removing or turning off as many as I can. If I restart the computer in a virgin mode, the quarter moons are not present.
I have a screen shot of one corner on my screen that I can send to anyone who wishes to see what the quarter moons looks like.

Actually, if you are referring to what I think you are referring to, that is a hidden feature that has been present for some time and can be enabled from the command line. The feature can also be enabled using various third-party utilities. I personally dislike such software because they make changes that persist even after they are uninstalled.
To turn the feature off, try opening "/Applications" > "Utilities" > "Terminal.app" and entering these commands:<pre>
defaults delete com.apple.dock wvous-showcorners
osascript -e 'tell application "Dock" to quit'</pre>
As you might guess, the command makes visible the size and locations of the "hot corners" that can be programmed to activate "Exposé", the screensaver, etc.

Using Aperture with photos in default Photo Folder in OS X (Newbie)

Hey guys...
I'm a new Aperture user (1 day) and fairly new to Mac's (5 months). I have a MB Pro with newest OS. Since getting the MBook I've been placing/storing all my photos in /Users/"lastname"/Pictures and then giving each photo "event" a new folder. I first started using iPhoto as an organizer and was not happy with using it. I had used Picasa on my windows machine and it took a few weeks to realize that there was a Mac version for Picasa. It was probably my own fault, but I couldn't figure out how to point iPhoto to my Photos Folder/Directory (maybe its old Windows habits)??? Because of this I installed Picasa and enjoy the easy croping/red eye/face recognition.
HOWEVER!, I wanted to move on to a real photo editor and got Aperture. Now to my question,,,lol
If I "import" all my photos that are currently in a folder/directory order, will Aperture create a duplicate library? And if so, do I bite-the-bullet and use Aperture as my one and only photo organizer, verse my old school ways of organizing photo folders on the hard drive and then going to the folders view via Finder to get a photo??
While writing this I referred to my photo Folder and noticed a iPhoto "library" ...when I click on it, it opens iPhoto and I see photos that I imported these few days I used iPhoto before Picasa. I guess maybe it means I need to get in habit of using the "library" when I want to search out photo for something (emailing, uploading to FB, etc)
What should I do? Tips?
Thanks guys!

Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
and don’t understand why Aperture don’t keep my folders in sync. So if I delete / add a photo to a folder, it does not update the folder in Aperture, as what you would get in Picasa.
Well the very obvious point is that it's not Picasa and doesn't work like that. Picasa is an attempt to use two databases (the Finder and Picasa) to manage the photos. Aperture simply uses one - the Aperture database. If that's not what you want then don't use it.
If I keep with Picasa, what’s the real benefit of using Aperture?
If you cannot see the opportunities that the Aperture offers for organising, and managing your Photos - including most obviously the tight integration with the OS, so that your photos are in every Open... dialogue on your Mac - and if you cannot see the far, far greater opportunities for post processing your Photos offered in Aperture compared to Picasa, then there is no benefit for you.
If, on the other hand, instead of trying to shoehorn Aperture into your Picasa workflow, you take a few moments to learn how to use it - say by looking at the Aperture tutorials on the Apple site - I think you'll find it's a much more powerful and capable application than your current choice.
