Watermark showing up too small in Aperture 3.1

Just upgraded my Macbook and am having a probelm with Aperture.
I am using the same watermark, and the same version of Aperture on both Macs, but on the new Macbook,  the watermark is showing up too small.
  It is not set 'to scale' and all the settings are identical. 
On my old Macbook, the watermark is large and covers the bottom 1/4 of the photo.
On my new Macbook, the watermark is tiny and can barely be seen.
This has been tested using the same photo. 
What could be causing this to occur? 

Frank,
I have a similar situation that you seem like you might understand.
I bought a new computer, started a new user (A), and downloaded Aperture. Then I realized it was easier to move the pictures from my old computer by transferring everything from that computer, creating another user (B) on my new computer. Since then I havent used user A at all, but now I can't access plug-ins for Aperture. Based on your posts above I checked user B and sure enough there are the plug-ins. I tried to repair permissions in the disk utility, and that didn't help. I restarted the program after each try.
Any idea of what I might try next?
On a separate note, I've been unhappy with this new macbook pro from the start, as compared to my old macbook, in terms of speed. Plus the battery life *****, which is a main reason i ditched the last one, no where near as advertised. Could an extraneous unnecessarily running/ partitioned in the background be creating any problems for speed or battery life? Or was dumping in everything from my old computer a bad idea?
Thanks in advance to anyone who can help.

  • Hi! I'm from Brazil and I'm having troubles with subtitles. Watching movies from iTunes and Netflix, the subtitles shows yellow, too small and into gray boxes! I'm having this kind of trouble with my iPad also.

    Watching movies from iTunes and Netflix, the subtitles shows yellow, too small and into gray boxes! I'm having this kind of trouble with my iPad also.

    Solution found.
    I am a Vodafone customer and installed the Vodafone app which asks you to turn off wifi connection on installation as it needs to communicate with their servers over 3G.
    After restoring the iPad via iTunes this is the only app that I did nor re-install and seems to be too much of coincidence that while in full screen view watching films my wifi is switched off and 3G data connection is established 10 - 15 minutes into a fiilm and my data allowance gets eaten up!
    I would also get push notifications from Vodafone saying "my daily data usage was almost used" with this app installed.
    Have tested and on 3rd time watching sky go still wifi is on after 30 mins.
    DO NOT INSTALL VODAFONE APP FROM THE APP STORE.

  • The video tutorial window that shows when photoshop is launched is TOO SMALL. Can it be maximized??

    The "Welcome" window that opens when PS CC 2014 is launched show the option to playa specific  vidieo tutorials. However, that window in not adjustable and is frequently too small to see exactly what the person is actually doing. Can the video be enlarged?
    There are other secondary videos that can be watched in that same window. These other videos are really quite tiny, actually. I can't see at all what the person is doing. I think it would be nice to be able to enlarge the videos presented within the Welcome window that opens with PS CC 2014. Is anyone else having this problem??
    Thanks,
    Chick

    I am aware of the above links; they do  not appear to contain the same, most recent videos containing the most recent updates that open in Photoshop  when Photoshop is updated, however.
    I think having these videos discussing the most recent updates immediately available in Photoshop is more timely and convenient. but again, I wonder why the video window is so small. Why was that considered good form and even helpful?
    Thank you.

  • Aperture web site photos: too small

    The photos on web sites created in Aperture are too small for me. Is there any way to upsize them?
    (And besides, can I eliminate the technical details?)
    Thank you very much!
    Hp

    Yes, you can customize the layout.
    To change the size of the photo on the detail page, select the "Detail" view and change the layout parameters "Fit images within" .
    To change the "details" edit the metadata preset used for the page:
    Select a Metadata preset, that has only the tags that you want to display or set it to "None".

  • Firefox 22 and higher shows fonts too big or too small, sometimes on the same page. How to "fix" this annoying 'improvement"?

    Since the update *every* website displays with the fonts too big or too small. On many websites, some of the fonts are too big and some are too small *on the same page*
    This makes for a horrible browsing experience.
    I've tried setting the layout.css.PixelsPerPx to a value of 1, but all it does is make most websites fonts too small, while leaving some websites fonts too large, with many web pages having fonts simultaneously too large and too small.
    The old behavior was quite acceptable and I'd really like to restore the behavior to what it was. How can I do that? Or do i just switch to Chrome and be done with it?

    Did you even bother to read the question?
    "I've tried setting the layout.css.PixelsPerPx to a value of 1, but all it does is make most websites fonts too small, while leaving some websites fonts too large, with many web pages having fonts simultaneously too large and too small."
    This "fix" doesn't work. Hundreds of people are complaining about how their browser was broken by this "improvement". Why not address the real problem instead of telling users to apply a useless hack to fix a programming error?

  • View page source shows fine on screen, but prints too small

    The page itself prints fine, but the page source prints WAY too small (like 12 lines in about 1/2 inch).

    Did you try to zoom in that page via Ctrl and + (View > Text Size)?

  • UI text too small

    Is there a way to make the text in the UI larger?The default size is too small and strains the eyes.

    but doesn't that make it system wide ??? not just for aperture ???
    it was intended as a tool to use by those that are legally blind to zoom any part of the os, we use it every day as a teaching/demoing tool.
    you can also zoom into a photo or video without creating artifacts/pixelation which the normal zoom tool does on many apps
    i suppose you could just change it back and forth ...
    apple option 8 -- toggles it on and off, or you can use one "Butler" hot key for it http://www.manytricks.com/butler/

    You may want to zero in on the part of the code that throws this error.
    (i)
    Try executing a small part of your code, while commenting out the rest. If that is successful, execute a slightly bigger part of the code, and so on successively. Once you know, where exactly the code is failing, it should be easier to create a small testcase against your data and investigate the problem.
    (ii)
    Check those local variables and the values that get assigned to them. It is a good practice to anchor local variables to database columns. That way, there will be less surprises when the table structures are altered.
    (iii)
    The script as such does not show any glaring error, but you may want to check those procedure calls e.g. -
          hz_Location_v2Pub.Update_Location(fnd_aPi.g_True,l_Location_rec,l_Object_Version_Number,
                                            l_aPi_Status,l_msg_Count,l_msg_Data);It's quite possible that the procedure is assigning a value to an output parameter that is too small to store that.
    Note that, given such a huge script and not knowing your database, we are not particularly inclined to debug it. The only person who can make things easier for himself/herself is you.

  • How do I make icons bigger? All icons are way too small for speedy use. no matter what I do they remain too small. Is there a way of getting them the same size as previous versions?

    All icons, such as refresh page, back, forward, stop and home etc; are just too small for comfortable use. For now I am uninstalling Firefox 4 and going back to 3.x. even the zoom page icons are too small.

    "I had read that GarageBand or the Musical Typing there can sometimes not display properly when the resolution is changed."
    Well, did you checked GB after you changed your resolution?
    Which setting did you change to?
    You & I have the same size iMac screen. My resolution setting is 1280x800. Everything fits perfectly in the windows & on desktop including the menu bar.
    All info in my windows are showing. I did not need to adjust my browser font size settings. I am sure you are aware of the browser font size settings. I use FF & the settings are in Preferences>Content.
    In the Finder window you can enlarge the icons & fonts also.

    The entire Captivate 8 screen to too small. How do I enlarge the entire window? All icons and thumbnails are 1/4 the size they should be. Using Windows 8.1.

    It looks like it is an issue between Adobe and Microsoft. (Many Adobe programs are responding this way to Windows 8 and 8.1)
    I am posting this to try and get some (ANY) ideas/feedback...but to also bring it to the Captivate Community attention. I hope the Captivate Staff is aware of this issue.
    Same issue -great PhotoShop screenshot Photoshop too small on windows 8.1
    Photoshop CC / Windows 8.1 HiDPI / Retina scaling support
    Re: Adobe suite HiDPI on Windows 8.1
    Right side menu too small font size of letters in Windows 8.1 High DPI screen
    Re: Photoshop CC / Windows 8.1 HiDPI / Retina scaling support
    there are many many more out there......
    I tried this first, it comes with Windows and changes your display properties by application: (but it didn't work)
    The program above basicly edits these settings (you can get to these by right clicking on the exe application) I tried many combos, an even tried them under the "change for all users" setting.....NADA!
    I have tried editing the Windows display settings: (all screen shots below are with this setting size)
    The screenshot below is at 250%. It does not make any difference in the application (check out the menu bar, properties, icons....) If I go over 150% I lose dialog box space...the buttons disappear! If I keep it at 150% the words "Advanced Actions" at the top of the dialog box shrinks slightly, enough to fit the buttons in...) I showed the difference using snag it (12 pt arial compared to the appearance of the UI ~ 4 pt.) This is so hard to see! Same issue in some of the other adobe applications. (fyi...they are all up to date)
    Photoshop = same problem
    Dreamweaver = working fine
    Flash = working fine
    Premier Pro = half working....(menubar is ok but everything else is real small)
    Muse = not working
    Adobe Edge Code = Working fine
    OOF! Well, any thoughts anyone? I appreciate any and al feedback and ideas!!!

  • Install error : disk cannot be used to start up your computer [or] MediaKit reports partition (Map) too small

    Greetings,
    I am aware that this problem has been discussed, but in long and vague discussions that I had to sift deeply to find an answer. Therefore I am posting a clear message, as this problem can be very troublesome for someone who just received a Mac OS installation disk and cannot install it.
    Situation : you cannot install/update your new system because the installer does not consider your volume.
    Error message : this disk cannot be used to start up your computer.
    Version française : Ce disque ne peut pas être configuré pour démarrer votre ordinateur.
    Also discussed below error: "MediaKit reports partition (Map) too small"
    Note : although this occurred with a Snow Leopard (10.6) install DVD, it can alo occur with Lion (10.7) according to discussions on Apple web site.
    IF YOUR CONDITIONS ARE AS FOLLOWS :
    - You are using an official Apple installation DVD of Mac OS 10.6 (Snow Leopard) [or 10.7 Lion] or an official download/upgrade of those systems.
    - Your main Mac partition scheme is in GUID as it should be (check with Disk Utility). That partition contains a Mac system that can start-up.
    - Your volume format is: Mac OS Extended (journaled) [the format should not be Case Sensitive.]
    - You have the hardware requirements to install Mac OS 10.6 (Intel processor; internal or external DVD drive or a linked DVD drive; 1 GB of RAM; a screen controlled by your computer graphics card; at least 5 GB space on the hard disk or 7 GB if you install all components).
    - Using Disk Utility, you of course tried the disk Repair Tool and the Repair Permissions tool.
    - Your hard disk does not have a file called Backups.backupdb (if it does, this means Time Machine has once used this hard disk for its back-ups). Anyhow, if it were the case, the installation would give a different error message (with the word TimeMachine). This file may block the installation: Apple Support suggest to place it in the garbage, *without* deleting it, and placing it back on the disk later. Mind you, if you do not use this hard disk as such to save your Time Machine back-ups, you can simply delete this file.
    HOW TO FIX :
    1. Boot with the 10.6 install DVD (Tip: you can either select Mac 10.6 as the boot DVD in your Start-up Preferences or simply press down c during the start-up).
    2. Above the install screen, you have a Utilities tab from where you can run Disk Utility. Select your hard disk and select the Partition tab. Resize the primary Mac partition (don't add a new one) by decreasing it by about 5 GB.
    It will look like this http://i.imgur.com/jHTbr.jpg
    ( That image shows only one partition, but the same principle applies even if you have two or more partitions on your disk.)
    Also see the official Apple how to: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3926
    Version française: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3926?viewlocale=fr_FR
    3. Commit the change by hitting "Apply"
    3.b. If you get the error "MediaKit reports partition (Map) too small", this is a rare error where the partition that follows (for example Bootcamp) is slightly overlapping your main Mac partition. You will need to reduce that other following partition. Once you have reduced the other partition, you will probably need to return to step 2 and 3 and try again.
    [ For example, in my case, I had resized my Bootcamp with CampTune software and it would seem that the file system ended-up somehow larger than the actual partition container. I simply asked CampTune to reduce the partition a bit (barely 2 GB) and that fixed it.]
    4. Reboot, again into the 10.6 install DVD.
    5. You can then install 10.6.
    6. Once 10.6 is installed, use the Disk Utility on the desktop (you can boot into the primary HD at this point) to resize the primary partition back to its original or maximum size.

    nb: in my case, it was on a MacBook Pro (late 2008).

    When I click on the icon for this drive, the warning message below states "Mac OS X cannot be installed on 'iMac HD', because this disk cannot be used to start up your computer." Obviously that's not true, since that's where the OS is installed.
    How did you partition this drive, if you did that? Does it contain start up or utility partitions for any other OS (for instance Linux)? There have been reports that the "cannot be used to start up your computer" message will appear if a third party utility was used to create a 'triple boot' system or such, apparently because SL is picky about the format GUID partition scheme table info & how partitions are allocated space on the drive by other formatting/partition methods.
    For some users with these partitions, the fix has been as simple as "tickling" (slightly changing) the partition size of some partition with Disk Utility, which apparently updates the GUID partition scheme table info so that the SL installer accepts it as safe to use with SL.( In this sense, the message may be trying to say the installer thinks the disk can't be used to reliably start up your computer with SL, not in general.)
    See the discussions topic Cannot install Snow Leopard over 10.5.8 for more about this.

  • Images  too small to edit

    Something just  happened here. In the past, when I open any photo in Elements 10, the image would pretty much fill the space. the bottom edge of the picture would almost reach the bottom of the workspace...whether vertical or horizontal format. Then I would create a duplicate and hit either ctrl + 0 (zero) and the duplicate would be a nice large size. ( Double clicking on the little hand in the tool bar would also do the same trick).
    Now , for some reason, the picture opens to maybe 60% of that size. It's way too small to work on comfortably. The duplicate is even smaller.  When I hit the ctrl + 0 ...nothing happens size remains the same. If I pull on lower right hand corner to enlarge...it only enlarges the ruler and frame. Picture itself remains same small size. How can I get that back? I tried a system restore. that did not work. Thank you.

    Hi Barbara,
    Thank you for your response.
    I don't use the Organizer. Never have. I have my own system which I've been using for over 10 years and thousands of pictures...first with Photoshop 6; later with PSE 7 on  earlier computers and now with PSE 10 since June 2012.  Its always been fine beforehand. And I have only had problems with 10 on this. Its happened before but I think last time it was under warranty and on screen dialog Support Team helped me get it back.
    This is how I work.....
    Whenever I save my photographs, I create a (new)  file on the desktop.  then I will download all the images from that project  from the SD card into the file ( example...Quebec...or Dilapidated Houses; or Antique Car Show 5/2013;  etc etc.) OK then when I want to edit a picture.... I open that particular one in PSE. Then I immediately make a duplicate. OK Here is where the problem now occurs. Prior to today, after I have the duplicate on the screen.....I would just hit ctrl + 0 (zero)  and the picture enlarged to a nice size. Very easy to see and work with. (One can also double click on the little hand in the tool bar for the same effect). But something happened here and when I now do that...the image does NOT enlarge. It actually creates a smaller duplicate.  Which makes it VERY hard to edit when its so small.
    Please refer to the page  attached to this email file. These should help to show what my problem is here.
    How do I get back the function where ctrl + 0 (zero) or double clicking on the toolbar hand gives me a nice full image?
    Thank you.

  • Menus and Fonts too small with Panasonic HDTV

    I just hooked up a new Mini (Intel chip) to my Panasonic HDTV-- 34" Model No. CT-34WX53-- using a DVI cable. The desktop shows up fine, but the menus and fonts are so tiny that I can't read them. When I try using Front Row, the pictures and vide are gorgeous and the fonts in Front Row are fine. It's just the fonts and menus in on the desktop and in other programs that are too small. Does anyone know how to fix?

    Edward,
    That's the price of having a gazillion pixels!
    You have two options - send less pixels to the display or change each application (Including the finder) to show larger fonts and icons.
    The lower the resolution option is easy and fast. The downside of "zoom"-ing the display is it may look blocky at certain resolutions and the fonts and fine details in photos and movies may be lost if the mac has to alias or scale the video. If you do this - you might want to enable the menu bar item for display preferences to quickly switch between the setting you prefer. I use one setting for actually using the mac and another setting for playing movies and showing slides in FrontRow.
    The change the preferences to make the fonts and icons larger is more of a pain but yields the most crisp display and you don't have to change things up. I would start with Finder Preferences (select an icon on your desktop and on the View menu - show view options - crank up the icon size and font size.) Unfortunately - you have to do this in each application you use. It also won't change the menu font sizes - you might need an "extension" from a developer to change that.

  • Indesign to PDF - Font showing up as small boxes

    I am exporting an Indesign Document to PDF. The font in parts of the document are showing up as small boxes, and are not translating to you PDF version correctly when viewed in Adobe Acrobat Pro.
    The document is too large to outline all they text, I am at 36 pages if heavy content (with bullet points that are not outlined correctly). I did not have is issue until I moved over to my new iMAC. I am wondering if there is just a simple setting I am missing.
    Please let know if you have any solutions to correcting this font translation from InDesign to a PDF
    The font i use is Helvetica Neue and has downloaded an my computer successfully
    I have tried:
    Outlining text- too time consuming and does not handle the bullet points correctly
    Updating Adobe Acrobat
    Embedding Fonts 100%
    Compressing the Files
    Changing the setting to "PDF/X-4:2008" when exporting
    Saving as PDF/X from Acrobat Pro
    I am currently stumped and need a solution as soon as possible.
    Thank you so much for your help!

    Hi Aandi,
    Thanks for your quick response.
    I have a program that is creating the information dictionary for the PDF file and assigns the information. I've checked the value of the Title, Subject, and Author fields just before being written out and they appear correctly in the program, but for some reason when they are assigned they only appear as question marks in the PDF Tab of the Properties window.
    I wonder if this could be because I don't have Helvetica font, and the substituted font doesn't support double-byte characters?
    I just tried to directly assign the values and they do appear correctly.
