RAW 5.02 & Olympus E-M1 pink/purple cast images

As I noted in a different thread - Use Aperture's "submit feedback" to ensure Apple is aware of the issue. These are user-to-user forums and if you think this is something that Apple needs to fix, you should tell them. It would be more effective.

Given there are multiple threads here where it's mentioned, it's worth your submitting feedback. Do not assume things posted here will come to the attention of Apple.

I'm one with the pink issue, I can confirm the problem is related to the mobile app (all the pictures taken with the mobile app are pink) but also some other sequences not taken wuth the app are pink, so there must be a different setting involved, it may be something with long exposure: I have a sequence of architecture photos done before sunset and just one after sunset with long exposure, this last one is pink, not the ones before.

John, I have the same problem😮, and can't fund any logical answer why this happening

Here's one more. Feedback sent several days ago, but no reply yet. It's really disappointing, after this long wait for raw support.😟

The developer team usually does not reply to the feedback, but they will read it.

Guys, I found the reason!

Noise reduction finction in MENU setting has 3 position - ON, OFF and AUTO.

If ON - this problem appears, if AUTO or OFF - all is OK!

I think it's software mistake.

I've got a set of 38 images I took a few nights back at a local botanic gardens (lit up at night for the holidays). The only images with issues are exposures longer than about 0.5 seconds -- at least, the longest exposure without the color cast is 1/4 second, the shortest with it is 0.6 seconds.

All were taken using camera firmware 1.0, all with NR set to AUTO.

They asked my raw files too, I think they are working for a fix, the only question is when it will be out, if it will come with the next raw update we may wait for some time.

my fix right now is shoot raw+jpeg and when I really need to edit the raw with pink issue I use Lr 5.3 or Olympus Viewer, but consider that Lr has a serious problem with noise on M1 files (very evident also at iso200).

I too have this problem. I believe NR is set to auto however I seem to have a group of photos shot during a sequence at night that do not exhibit the purple cast issue.

I've provided feedback to Apple but received no reply as yet.

Depending on how many long(er) exposures you plan on taking, you could also just shoot in RAW -- and convert only the problematic files to jpg via Olympus Viewer. Depends which is less of a hassle, deleting unneded jpg files or converting purple RAW files.

I haven't seen any similar problems with jpg files in Aperture, BTW.
