Anybody else noticing this?

Apertures Red Eye Tool is not working on an iMac (Late 2013) with i7 and GTX780M. I have Aperture 3.5.1 installed. Red Eye-Tool shows it's yellow circles but red eyes stay just red. All user accounts are affected. Safe boot, reinstalling Aperture, deleting all prefs doesn't change anything. I suspect it has something to do with the graphics card (driver)?

I am waiting for my i7 gtx780m to be delivered. As soon as I get it set up I will try the red eye tool and let you know.

Just tried the red eye tool, same problem as you have. I don't use it that much but noticed the red eye was back in a photo I had used it on successfully with my old iMac.


Just looked on Apple Support forum.
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5560184?start=15&tstart=0

'About a week ago, I got an email from someone who works with the Aperture team at Apple. They were looking in this problem and needed some of my files to do tests.

Last week, I received an other email teling me that they were able to reproduce the issue in-house. They found that it is specific to a graphics driver update with Mavericks for those who have NVIDIA GeForce GTX 780M graphic card.

The work-around they suggested is to open the library in iPhoto and do the Red Eye fixes there. This will keep the fix once I re-open it back into Aperture.

That is not a great solution. I knew I could do that. I had tried it before. But the idea is NOT to use iPhoto for my photos. I want to do everything in Aperture, otherwise it gets to be more trouble.

They say they are still looking into the issue...'
