Q: Advises on processing cr2 raw files
Good day!
I am new to shooting raw files, and need some good tips & advise from you to process in Aperture.
My camera is canon 6D, my aperture version is 3.6.
I imports my pictures to Aperture library with selecting effect pre-set "auto-enhance", some how when i load the individual picture to view, it seems to "make" my pictures "darker" as compare when i view from my camera.
I import my other raw picture by this time de-select the "pre-set", same thing happen when i view the pictures from Aperture.
My questions:
1. Is this normal for raw file processing? Meaning i will have to do some exposure & contrast adjustment?
2. Or is there any tips i can learn from you in processing raw files with Aperture?
3. The pictures are perfect when i view from my camera, however, it seems somehow bit "out" when i load into Aperture.
Thanks in advanced for any tips & advise sharing.
Cheers!
OS X El Capitan (10.11), 2.5GHz intel core i5

Hi Richard, sorry for keeping you waiting. I had to get back to my Mac with Aperture. I posted originally from my iPad.
See this screenshot:
Aperture has a Raw Fine Tuning as an adjustment, that will always be applied. It is different for each camera.
Chech the settings for the RAW fine tuning used for your camera. Usually the values are reasonalbe. but you might tweak them a bit, if you find, that the do not work for your camera.
I had to move the "Boost" slider all the way to the right for one of my cameras. In the Adjustments panel for one of your RAW images click "Add adjustment", then check the settings. I would not change the camera default, unless all photos need a modification.
A new camera default can be saved from the gears icon to the right of "RAW fine tuning".
