Hi there.

I've had the latest iPhoto ever since it came out, but until now, never used the cool editing feature. I thought I'd give them a shot tonight, so I got a couple of photos that I thought I could make better, and first set about trying to make a portrait of my friend and I look 'lo fi'. I turned sharpness all the way down to give it a nice blur, changed the angle, and turned the tint all the way green. It looked really great, nicely bad if you see what I mean. So anyway, happy with it, I wanted to move on to the next picture. However, after the 'saving changes' box had dissapeared, right before the next picture came up, for a flash of a second I saw the picture change to different settings. I quickly went back to the picture and it seems the settings, although they had been changed, looked quite differnet from how I had set them. The picture was still quite sharp, and the green tint looked a bit different from how I had set this.

The point of my post is this: when you are adjusting those settings, is the live update just a (very) rough idea of what the picture will look like rather than the real thing? Because I seem unable to keep the picture how I want it.

(My computer is a 1.5 Powerbook and my camera is an old 2.0 megapixel exilim.)

Any help or advice is much appreciated.

I am experiencing this bug in iPhoto 5.0 (both 5.0.3 and now 5.0.4) with the sharpness setting not being saved, as is my Dad on his 15" PowerBook too. If others have this problem (or not) can they say what Mac it is on.
