Imported Photos Turning Green!
Posted: Sep 22, 2008 4:08 PM
 

Weird - Aperture and iPhoto tinting my pics GREEN!

I am importing photos from my Canon D60 CF card via a Lexar FireWire card reader - which I have done many, many times - and after they are in a new Aperture project, they are being tinted green - I mean, heavily green, not just a green tinge. Prior to the actual import they look normal.

I tried iPhoto, same thing. Meanwhile, if I drag them from the CF card to the desktop, the thumbnails in Cover Flow look normal.

If I Choose "Edit with Photoshop (CS3)" they are green so it is not just the thumbnails. However, if I open them directly from the desktop with Photoshop, they are OK.

The hundreds of previous pics I have in Aperture are OK - except one other project., When I select that project and click on a pic in the browser, the version that shows up in the viewer is... you guessed it, GREEN. The browser one in that case remains OK - just the viewer version is tinted. But choosing "Edit with Photoshop" for either the browser or viewer version opens a green one.

Has anyone had this experience with the latest updates, etc? Any ideas?

Thanks,
Terry

So you know you are not alone, I am having the exact same problem with pics I loaded from my Nikon D40. Interestingly, I imported them before the upgrade, but the first time I opened them after the upgrade they turned green.

If you find the cause or solution, please post it here. Thanks.

Terry,

A few Sony users have noticed a similar issue (magenta not green) with RAW files after updating to RAW Update 2.2 a week or so ago.

If this sound like something that applies to your situation, then click on the following link and scroll down to an entry by "Clem" on Sept 17th at 9:56 AM for a "downgrade" back to RAW Update 2.1:

Good luck

I had the same problem with Nikon d200 raw files. One of my projects suddenly turned magenta.
I found the magenta/green tint slider under the white balance menu to full magenta.
After I placed the slider to neutral I cloned the "new" setting to the other images.
I hope this can help you.

Same here. Nikon D80 Raw. JPGs are OK. D100 raw are O.K. Started happening with recent Raw update (for D700 etc.).

I am glad I checked here. I was about to reinstall Aperture. Now instead, I am going to see if I can roll back the raw update.

I am having a similar problem as well. I am also shooting with a Canon D60, but my photos are turning blue. The problem seems to be in the Apple RAW converter. Opening the RAW file with Adobe Camera RAW creates a normal looking photo. The problems can be adjusted with the white balance settings, but it shouldn't be happening.

you need to apply the solution specified in the link further up this thread - revert to CameraRAW bundle 2.1.

King's X guys,

I had the magenta problem and when I reverted to 2.1 it went away. HOWEVER, a Nov 5, RAW update seemed to solve the problem so I went with the latest patch. Today, after scanning monochrome photos into Aperture I started getting the Antifreeze green color on some of my work. Not sure what is causing it but it is not isolated to Nikon Raw from the D-200. I have a One-to-One on 11/17/08. Hopefully one of the Genius's will have an answer.

This seems to be a dead thread, but I'm finding this problem with images that have been in my Aperture database for quite some time. It only affects a relatively small percentage of the files, and does not extend to previews or any other aspect of the process--just thumbnails. Not all images in a given project behave this way.

Would love to know what happened.

You know what, I'm having the same problem..

If I'm importing certain photos from websites in safari directly into iphoto - a small percentage of files have this green tint.. I really can't figure this out but it is annoying..

My point being, I don't think it has anything to do with your camera.. This is definately some iPhoto problem or the way OSX handles certain images???

Anyone figure this out yet?>
