When I move the sliders in Preferences for either the Viewer or Browser brightness, nothing happens. No change in any of the background colors.
I tried trashing the Aperture preferences, but still no change. I can move the sliders, they stay where I move them. But none of the backgrounds change.
Aperture 3.2.2
Lion 10.7.2
ATI 5770
Mac Pro, Mac OS X (10.7.2), FCP 7 and FCP X
That's not good. Works (changes when moving sliders) on 3.2.2 on 10.6.8. Anyone who can confirm with Lion?
Just tried here with 3.2.2 on Lion 10.7.2 and brightness sliders are behaving as expected. This on an i7 27" iMac.
As Level 5 and 6 posters, I'm sure you know there is nothing more exciting than responses to your issue stating everything seems to be working fine elsewhere.
Obviously, thanks for taking the time to read and respond.
Trashing preferences did nothing.
I haven't re-booted, which I will do now.
Any other suggestions?
I'm not surprised with your responses, though. I did search this forum first and didn't find anything other posts with this issue.
Odd.
Rebooting should be part of any trouble-shooting, particularly if you've trashed your prefs (and emptied the system trash).
Determining that your problem is not seen by others with similar set-ups (and in what way they differ) is an important part of trouble-shooting.
My only other suggestion -- which I suspect you've already done -- is to search the FC forums to see if anyone has any similar problem. There are many posts of Aperture and Final Cut creating problems for each other.
Have you experiences any other graphics misbehavior with the ATI 5770?
I was just answering the question by Kirby. A reboot is worth a shot. I have just tried sliders on another iMac and no problem there either. Sorry I cannot be more helpful. I have never seen your issue here.
Reboot. No change.
Maybe I'm doing something wrong, or I don't understand the feature.
I thought I could slide these sliders in the Aperture Preferences to get the background to be black, white or some level of gray. Correct? Because moving these sliders doesn't seem to change any backgrounds.
I've encountered no other issues with the 5770. I use video applications much more than Aperture. FCP 7, FCP X, Permeire Pro, After Effects. None have issues.
iPhoto 9.2.1, no issues. And I can change the background color to any shade I want.
It's hard to believe I'm the only one with this issue.
It's even harder to believe a Level 5 or 6 person is stumped.

I can assure you that few Level 5 or Level 6 persons would share your disbelief.
Three screenshots showing what should happen:

True.
But I'm only a Level 2. So that should explain my disbelief.
Well, it's my limited knowledge of Aperture. That's what I expect to happen. That's what iPhoto does.
Outside of calling Apple at this point, any other possible suggestions?
Try running the Aperture 3: Troubleshooting Basics unlikely to fix the problem but a good place to start.
If that doesn;t fix it create a new library, See if it happens in there. If it still happens create a new user, run Aperture, see if it happens there.

How about that.
I rebuilt the database and now it works.
Although this was a brand new database. Created today, imported files and then played around with preferences.
Either way, you suggestion helped.
I hereby elevate you to Aperture user Level 6.01.
Thanks to all. Give my rate of use vs issues (just started today) I'm sure I'll be back.
(bet you guys can't wait)
Glad it helped. Surprised that the database rebuild fixed it, wouldn't have thought this was db related but live and learn.
The three steps I wrote up in my previous post are usually a good place to start when you get strange behaviors.
Viewer Brightness Preference
