Q: Picture switching on adjustment, why?

Often the picture I am adjusting switches to the previous picture adjusted. This occurs especially when adjusting the amount of color by moving the slider in the Levels histogram. Is this intentionally? A (known) bug or feature? Or just me doing something wrong?

    I have that occur sometimes too - in my case I'm using a Magic Mouse and inadvertently do a two finger swipe instead of one finger.  That moves me to an adjacent image.

    I too have observed this, and just filed a bug report. Live updating while using the Levels brick causes image to flash back to some other previously-buffered version of current photo, or to some completely other photo.

     

    A second, likely related bug I filed is that live updating stops completely, so that you don't see the modifications you're making until after you release the control slider.

     

    Between this, and brush strokes not rendering while making Quick Brush adjustments, Aperture is pretty much unusable for me at this point :<

    At the very least, repair your database, reboot, and make sure you have plenty of scratch space on your system drive and on the drive holding your Library.

     

    Details are on Apple's Aperture trouble-shooting page.

     

    If you want more specific advice, start a new thread.  We're a helpful clutch of pips.

    I tried the suggestion that it might be my mousing, but after some experimenting I am now convinced that this is not the case. Because the obnoxious behaviour of switching to the previous image also occurs with the Highlight & Shadows pane, it seems likely the culprit should be somewhere in the code handling mousedown in the slider.

     

    I should add that quitting and restarting Aperture makes the switch go away. That is, at least until another image gets it.

    It certainly cannot be related to a shortage of memory or disk space: 64GB memory, 600 GB free on the systemdisk and 5TB  space on the disk holding the images, should not be felt by Aperture as a shortage.
