I'm getting "streaky" images (preview) after editing. Has anyone experienced this?

Perhaps a problem with Mavericks similar to the discussion in this thread?

Re: Till now Aperture worked well in mavericks, "suddenly?" the import of raw files from Nikon D700 is no more supported, only jpg's are accepted. Any idea what happened?

These kind of display issues are often (but not always) connected with graphics card isssues.

First check software update and make sure you have installed any EFI/Graphics firmware updates intended for your Mac.

If that doesn't help, run a hardware test to check for hardware issues. See http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1509 for instructions for your model.

You might also make a note of your graphics hardware model a search for a more rigorous hardware checker for you graphics hardware model, sometimes issues only show up when running hot.

And on that last point, make sure your Mac is running with sufficient ventilation.

I'm getting this problem with Aperture 3.4.5 on my 27" iMac running 10.8.5. I only see it in the preview after editting, I never get it in the image edit or in the thumbnails.

After having this problem in preview, I can go back to edit, and the image is fine (but the corrupted preview doesn't go away).

I find this problem always goes away after I restart Aperture. It doesn't typically re-affect the same images.

Since it always clears after restarting Aperture, and it only affects previews, and not other types of images, this is clearly a SW problem, not HW.

I'm wondering if we can trace it to any of my plugins - I have the NIK plugins, Noise Ninja and DXO Viewpoint 2.

Do you have any of these plugins?

My most used plugin is Nik HDR EFEX Pro 2, after that Noise Ninja and DXO Viewpoint 2. Pretty sure this was happening before the DXO plugin was installed.

With graphics hardware the line becomes blurred (no pun intended).

In the rendering of the above image, one of the lines being drawn is getting repeated. This is sometimes indicative of timing or memory issues which can happen when the hardware gets hot and gets throttled back, or with slightly out of spec memory chips. But it may only happen intermittently, and only with specific types of call to the graphics card so it may only ever get seen in one place, making it look more like a software error.

Not saying that's definitely the case here, just one of the possibilities worth investigating.

Same problem here. I assume it's related to a mix of Mavericks/Aperture 3.5 and Nik plugins. Something doesnt match anymore. I also experience the "grey screen" effect after editing photos in a Nik plugin.

So far shutting down Aperture fixes the problem ... for a while.

See this thread for news of a new Nik update https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5672140?tstart=0 also, 10.9.1 is now released which may help also.
