RAWs appear blue/pink-ish in Preview, Apercu and Aperture

Since the last update, my Nikon D7000's RAWs appear blue/pink-ish in Preview, Apercu and Aperture (stil normal in Photoshop/Lightroom/ViewNX). I need to use Aperture, how do I go back to the previous version? Where does the problem come from?

When I import the files, they first appear with regular color (from the thumbnail I presume), and when processed are all violet/pink/blue. I did not change the presets, and imported with with different/no filter.

MacBook Pro (Retina, Mid 2012), OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.4)

I have stated several posts here. You have to delet 2 files and than install 4.07 of the RAW converter. search this forum.

Since the last CameraRaw update (4.08) released a few days ago there have been a lot of reports similar to your's

See My 2012 iMac is on acid NEF files stopped being displayed on iPhoto and Preview, and all pictures are turning red in my library for examples.

The fix, until Apple releases an update, is to roll back the RawCAmera bundle to 4.07. See the above posts for directions.

Well, thank you, but that seem to me to concern MacOs as well: the problem is the same in preview mode (in the finder) or with the default image opener of MacOs. That's why I think it is system related.

You're correct it is an OS problem with Raw camera files, not specific to Aperture.

The reason they appear ok in those other programs is that they have there own Raw converter software, they do not use the converter that is part of OS X.

Realized that, just wanted to clarify the issue for anyone else reading this post.

Sometimes trying to find things here in ASC can be difficult, the search features are not the best 😉
