I just loaded Aperture 2.1.1 and decided not to load any pictures until i played with the stock photos. I first for me, but i have 30K of photos to import or attach.

When playing with the stock photos i did something to move the view of the current picture to the right, partially outside the visible frame. If i grab the photo and move it to the left, i can grab a shadow of the picture and it seems to be moving it, but when i release the mouse button it snaps back to the right hand side. I played with all the tabs under the "view' command and failed to center the image. See attached for visual.

Can anyone help me?

Strange that. I like your birds_015 photo!

PS: There is Aperture 2.1.3 available, maybe the update will fix it.

i updated to 2.1.3 --- that didn't fix it

I removed the Aperture software folder, including the project file and reinstalled 2.1.1 from the disk and that didn't fix it.

I guess i have to go to the Apple store.

PS-- the bird pics came on the disk with Aperture.

Thanks for helping with the reply

Couldn't even figure out how to duplicate it.

It looks as if the browser window itself has expanded in width only, not just that the picture is not centered. The tools that are at the right side of the browser window are also not being seen.

I'd try creating a new user account and see if it acts normally there.
If so, then back to your account and get rid of the aperture plist files.
Not on my Mac at the moment, but it/they would be found in:
Users / your user / Library / Preferences
Just move anything in that location with aperture in it to the desktop.
Log out and back in.
When you open aperture it will create new ones.
If it works, then go ahead and trash the files.

you hit the nail on the head. I went to the Apple store and they simply deleted the Preference file and the problem went away. The Aperture "genius" never saw the problem before and could not duplicate it. He suspected some how the system thought the monitor was bigger than it actual is.
