Really weird Aperture phenomenon.

[Ed Rizk]

I have no idea what to even call this. It has happened on several files but this is the most pronounced case. The pic looks overexposed to the right of a vertical line. The file is unaffected because the pic looks normal when zoomed in. Very strange.




Here's the photo unzoomed.




Here it is zoomed in.




Any ideas?

Strange! Is it only with this one image? Do you have the latest version of Aperture and Max OS installed, including all updates?

Try this...

1. Right-click on the image to get the contextual menu.
2. You'll see an option down the bottom of the menu called "Update Preview" and, if you hold down the Alt key on your keyboard you will see this change to "Generate Preview".
3. Try selecting "Generate Preview" and see if this fixes the problem.

I used to get tho sort of phenomena after using aperture for a few hours. Went away on shutting down aperture and restarting the mac. Not seen this since increasing ram to 16GB from 8GB.

Thanks, guys.

The problem miraculously solved itself, so restarting Aperture may be the only solution. I have a bunch of RAM on my MBPr, so I don't think it's a RAM problem.
