How to Disable Faces in Aperture

// February 18th, 2010 // No Comments » // Experience

So, Apple Aperture 3.0 is ridden with bugs. One of the most annoying ones is that it becomes stuck processing… when Faces are in the queue. Even 32-bit mode won’t save you until you process the non-faces items first. So, you’ll need to disable faces for the time being.

How to disable Aperture Faces:

Go to the Aperture>Preferences menu and under the General tab.

Turn off Enable Faces.

Rock on.

Aperture 3 in 32-bit Mode

// February 18th, 2010 // No Comments » // Experience

I’ve lost several days to Aperture 3. In short, Apple should have done better. The Flickr export is sending photos at 1/2 resolution, Faces causes Aperture to hang or simply makes Aperture get stuck Processing… After some trial and error, this is what worked for me.

How to run Aperture 3 in 32-bit mode:

In order to use any plug-ins with Aperture 3 (currently), you will need to launch Aperture in 32-bit mode (in Snow Leopard).

To do this, go to Aperture, File > Get Info…, and select the “Open in 32-bit mode” checkbox.

This will be fixed as plug-in developers recompile their plugins.

(Note that using a plugin from 32-bit mode is supposed to cause Aperture 3 to quit and restart in 32-bit mode transparently—it will then restart in 64bit mode on next launch. YMMV)

Hopefully this works for you.
