Aperture Colour/ Color Shift with Lion

Hello,

I opened your wallpaper with preview and it showed the greenish tint like It does in safari. But when I changed the viewing size it changed to normal. Only at a percentage of 20 % and 15% the image shows a tint.

I imported the image to Aperture and only the thumbnail shows the green tint. In the viewer the image looks fine.

My two cents: The embedded thumbnail is not color managed. It has no profile. ColorSync (and applications using Colorsync to display colors) does not know how to display those colors and shows that thumbnail with a generic profile.

But even QuickLook shows a green tint. There seems to be an error in color rendering. Or Apple went the iPad

way to display colors.

We should write error messages to Apple.

I have only had Lion on this mini, and the effect described is very obvious in Preview. Using a RAW (.rw2) file, I can find the precise zoom boundary between greencast and true color. I can't view my entire picture because the boundary is a little beyond zoomed past 'zoom to fit.'

ColorSync eyedropper can tell the difference of the tint, and the resolution of the greencast picture is greatly reduced. Zooming out the tiniest step across the boundary greatly obscures text. Interestingly, the magnifier tool is not affected by the cast, it must work off the proper resolution color rendering.

This is rotten. Please fix it. I am unable to view a whole photo.

OK, I thought I was going crazy. After installing Lion I also noticed crazy color shifts for my JPEGs within Aperture. The thumbnail in split view would look fine, but when I selected it to view larger, it would first appear like the original color, but within a second or two would be dull and washed out. Surprisingly, RAW files displayed correctly until export. I discovered this when I e-mailed a friend a photo from a RAW file. When they replied back, I could clearly see the photo had color shifted to a duller, washed out version.

Did I miss a solution within this thread or are we all waiting for Apple to fix Aperture?

I have the same problem but only on some kind of camera.

In my library, I have JPEG pictures from 400D, 60D, 7D and 5D but I have the problem only on the pictures from 5D. No problem with the RAW files.

Is it due to some specificity from the camera .... ?

I find this problem on many forum but without solution.

A fix would be really appreciate.

My report to 'Apple bug reporter' about this issue ,

is updated and marked as 'duplicated' ranked to 'Important'

thay already know about issue and will fix by 10.7.1 .

Could anyone verify that this was fixed in 10.7.1?

I've been holding off upgrading to Lion and would like to know if the new version fixes this issue.

Sorry, no fix for the Adobe RGB color shift in 10.7.1.

:-(

nothing changes about this issue at 10.7.1

I spoke with Apple on the phone this morning and they say it may be an issue that crops up only on some machines because of the way they are set up. The guy I talked to seemed not to have heard of this problem. There is mention of it in in the comments section of a post by Thomas Boyd on the Aperture Users network. Inconclusive, though. Some experience it, most don't.

I have the same problem on my two machines running Lion. JPG images out-of-camera, shot in Adobe RGB is displayed wrong, with dull colours in Aperture, Preview. However, if the same images are opened in Photohop, they look right. If I then save the image with Adobe RGB from Photoshop the colors look ok in Aperture an Preview too. My guess is that all out-of-camera JPGs is shown with s-rgb, so images shot in s-rgb will look ok and those with Adobe RGB will not.

I shoot in sRBG and I have not noticed any problems here.

It looks a little odd.....because it realy looks like an Lion problem. I also noticed the color shift during start-up and shut down.....someone else too ???

By the way.....my newly imported photo's after Lion install (and nothing changed on my camera) don't have the color shift.

kind regards

I have the same issue, but on OS X 10.6.8 Snow Leopard... so not a Lion issue.
