Saved selection channels Aperture bug
Posted by Jeanine in Photography, Software, tags: Aperture bug
Aperture will not display correctly an image with a saved selection or with a alpha channel layer, that is not being used in a mask. If you have a selection saved or channel layer it will show part of the file in black. The first example I have saved a selection / channel of the sky so that before I print the sky I do not want to sharpen the sky. I might want to do some noise reduction of the sky. This photo was taken before I had a D3 camera and it was somewhat dark and the boat was moving like crazy so I had to pump up the ISO to take the photo.
The example is the Alpha channel that Aperture can’t handle.#1 option is to delete the channel and save the file and your done.
#2 option if you want to save the selection is to click on the channel. In the menu go up to -Selection- click on -save selection-
The go to your layers pallet create a curves layer – click OK button because we are not making any changes we only want to save the selection. Next make sure your color is pure black, then click on the mask, In the menu go to – Edit – Fill – After that is done delete the channel.
It should look like this -
Now your done just save the file and aperture will update the file, if it does not show up right away go to full screen view by hitting the F key, to go back hit the F key again.
This may sound like too much work, but is is better than recreating a selection.
