Apple Photo corrupting images

Anyone got any ideas why this would happen?


My photos in Apple Photo are fine in thumbnail, fine in the Finder as originals but display weird colours when in the full view within Photo! Pic attached.


I've repaired the library - no luck

Created a new library, added just one photo, does the same.


Frustrating!

iMac, OS X 10.11

Next log into another user account and see if the problem persists there in Photos. (This tells us if the problem is limited to your user account or is system wide).


Boot into Safe Mode (Use Safe Mode to isoloate issues with your Mac) and test your library there. Any improvement? Reboot normally and test again.

NOTE: Safe Mode boot can take up to 10 minutes as it's doing some system cache cleaning, volume verifying and directory repairing.
