Terrible problem with image contagion!

By the way I have rebuilt the databases, zapped RAM, repaired disk permissions and disks, tried different libraries and so on...

So far, no luck.

@ William @Clem

Thank you both for your interest.

I had tried to reprocess from the original, but it does not solve the problem.

The images have always been fine and have been stored on this soft RAID, outside of Aperture without previous trouble.

I am using a 2008 Mac Pro with 8GB of RAM and about 10TB of internal storage on HDD. My system is on a 128GB SSD. Yesterday I updated Mavericks and Aperture and that's when my problems began.

I've always followed the updates closely and have never experienced something like this before.

Somebody from the Apple team contacted me, so I am providing them with further infor to see if they can reproduce the problem...

There seems to be carry over/memory from one image to another.

If I zoom around the image, it clears up and I can see the photo clearly. When I return to the default viewing size, I get this effect.

However, if I view a video (no problem), when I next go to a photo, the image that appears is pure white...

Or, as is now the case, no matter which image I open, the default setting shows a photo from another project (undamaged).

If I want to see the image connected to the thumbnail I have to zoom around first...

Not sure if any of the above sounds familiar to you, but that's pretty mu much it.

Thanks again!

Having had contact with Apple, the issue seems to be connected to the updated RAW fine tuning brick in the adjustments.

Reprocessiing that way resolves the problem for now, on an image by image basis.

Will update once more is known...

@William Lloyd:

I could have sworn I reprocessed the original, but was unaware they had a new RAW engine, so maybe I just tried regenerating the thumbnail. Not sure how I missed that. So you were on the money and my answer was not correct this morning.

So, I just found the Batch Reprocess with the New Aperture RAW File Engine (or something to that effect) menu.

Looks like it's gonna take 15 minutes for each 10K of images.

Thanks again!

I crowed too soon...

Just finished the batch rebuild and the problem persists, which is probably why my previous effort failed too.

With the individual button in Adjustments, it seems the result is more effective.

Not sure though.

Thanks anyway!

Hey Crayboy,

I'd tested the same way you did, but skipped the last part as it was so late yesterday... But you're right, it works!! Thanks!!

I read somewhere that the Radeon's don't play as nicely with UNIX as the NVIDIA's and that Apple has renamed their Kext files in Mavericks, or something to that effect. Some overclockers seem to know how to flash the BIOS on these cards, but it's beyond me.

Instead I have to put up with what feels like an underpowered NVIDIA GeForce GT 120, but at least it works... And THAT is a bloody great relief.

Not sure what card to put in the Mac Pro instead of the Radeon (some say the buses on the Early 2008 machines are too slow to reap much benefit from these cards, but my machine was faster with full res multi monitor support)

Maybe I'll be able to find someone who can change the Device ID's so that Mac recognizes my HD6870, for now and evermore, regardless of which OS they release.

It's a bit long in the tooth, but I'm reluctant to let it go as I've got it stuffed with goodies...

Anyway thanks for taking the time to post, it got me on to the problem. Cheers!
