Images distort while editing

Well, 10.6.3 makes no difference, iPhoto is still broken.

... and even the update to iPhoto 8.1.2 (424) did not help.

Two updates this day: two times disappointment.

No changes for me either 😟
Im getting sick of this!

I've been having this problem too, ever since upgrading to Snow Leopard. Aside from the fact that it always happens in Full Screen mode (my preferred way of working with iPhoto) it's completely erratic and unpredictable. Sometimes the weird distortions go away if I wait a few seconds after opening in full screen mode, other times they persist. It occurs especially often after I've straightened a photo.

I've been trying to organize a lot of vacation photos today and am having so much trouble that I'm going to switch to Bridge until this is fixed.

I'm getting the same problem ever since I upgraded to 10.6

I decided to try installing 10.5 on another drive to test and didn't have any problems with any of the coreImage apps I was experiencing strange patterns with 10.6 (iPhoto, Preview, Pixelmator, etc.)

Could Apple please test the ATi Radeon X1600 driver with snow leopard?

Hey dropadrop,

I totally have the same problem - try to edit photo's in the new 09 version of iPhoto & they all go like that - & when i try HDR - forget it! all i get is grey stripes. Totally ****** me off!

Cause its the bloody software to be sure.

Just heard from Apple that they are aware of this graphics bug and it will be fixed in 10.6.4.

10.6.4 out now one of the fixes (as Mateus mentions):

"resolves an issue editing photos with iPhoto or Aperture in full screen view"

Fixed. On mine at least.

Thank goodness! …and Apple for EVENTUALLY getting around to it.

10.6.4 truly solved this problem. Finally

Wow you guys are lucky! 10.6.4 has in now way fixed this issue on my MacBoook!

Where to now I wonder as it really makes this MacBook un-usable for iPhoto.
