MBA 13" Ultimate - i7, 256 GB SSD
I downloaded the Aperture 3 trial to test the new MBA performance to see if it would be capable of editing ~13 MB RAW files. I was impressed by the snappiness of jumping between photos (note: a small library of about 20 photos from a new import) and adjustments.
Once I began testing the Skin Smoothing brush, however, things went downhill. I began seeing flashes of graphic glitches and multi-colored artifacts that look like tearing. I was once able to quickly capture an example with a screen grab, although the saturated colors instead look subdued in the capture (see attached).
I've been searching Google and forums for similar experiences with Aperture or Air graphics but have been unable to find anything. My assumption, therefore, is that this is a more unique case and that I'm either pushing the Air beyond it's limits or there is defective hardware or software. Thoughts?
