iMac Slow Entering Sleep Mode

hi - bought first imac few months ago - upgraded i3 1 tb hdd , radeon hd 5670 graphics (mid-2010 model). loving far. until few days ago went sleep mode within approximately 2 seconds (which totally amazed me coming dell pc vista). now, hanging while , takes twelve fifteen seconds enter sleep. i've done 2 things believe might have caused this: 1) (stupidly) fiddled canon i9900 inkjet driver on imac. tried print canon connected laptop windows pc, wirelessly imac. never imac recognize canon printer , gave up. can uninstall canon printer driver on imac , reinstall fresh copy? if so, how? 2) connected canon scanner (lide 50) usb port on imac. nothing seemed happen, no driver installed apparently, abandoned effort , unplugged canon scanner. perhaps after mac began entering sleep mode delay. believe 1 of these actions causing imac hang bit before entering sleep. suggestions appreciated. -dave

Nikon D7000 Aperture preset anyone?

ok, not trying self marketing etc. noticed when importing nikon d7000 nef's aperture applied weird base profile makes them .. pale. nothing when importing through capture nx or view nx. so, took time (several hours) in comparing colors etc. , adjusting settings in aperture match nikon product import closely. wrote testing , how import , use on site (in signature), if want file, zip located here . using preset during import , on older imported raws , makes photos better go already. yes right can anyway in adjustments takes time , results not consistent. checked against 20 random samples in library , when raw files applied preset match capturenx output closer... @ least me. anyway, thought i'd share. i'd appreciate no direct links file, did take time make it. again, make pictures more poppy start can adjust afterwards , might not every image either, if want achieve pale effect. //f ps: wrote in article preset, system color calibrated
