Sudden problem: Adjustment panel blank (metadata and library OK). Thumbnail shown as file loads but then image has dark blue cast and is not adjustable. Have current version of Aperture running. Help please

Aperture Help needed: Adjustment panel is blank, although metadata and library panels normal. Thumbnails appear normal but when RAW (CR2) file is loaded, it appears with a dark blue cast, and does not load into the adjustment panel, and is not adjustable. Suggestions please

Aperture 3, Mac OS X (10.7.4)

Two things I would try... For the blue cast on some of your RAW images, which Canon are you using? Have you updated to Camera RAW, version 3.13?

For the Adjustments tab, have you tried deleting your Preferences as outlined in the Aperture Troubleshooting basics?

Let us know.

You may need to register your camera with the the launch service database again, see this post by Alan Roseman: Re: Aperture 3 preview of raw file greenish

😝 There is a "typo" in the command given in the link above, so read also the following posts on how to correctly enter the command and how the fix is supposed to work 🙂

Good luck.

Post back, if this does not help.

FYI Leonie, pretty sure updating to 3.13 has the same fix without having to go through Terminal.

This "Terminal" fix is only necessary for the cameras that have been moved from previous raw updates directly to MacOS X 10.7.4. Some cameras are installed, but not registered after the upgrade to 10.7.4.
