Advertisement Posted December 4, 2019 Posted December 4, 2019 Hi Petrus61, Take a look here Colour problems in Sl 2 - reds are all magenta - raw on aperture. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!

Could be that the SL2 profile is missing? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaapv Posted December 4, 2019 Share #3  Posted December 4, 2019 If you are running Aperture, that has been obsolete for years and is certainly not reliable for newly released cameras. Try a current post processing software. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chaemono Posted December 4, 2019 Share #4  Posted December 4, 2019 From the Apple support site: “In June 2014, Apple announced the discontinuation of development of Aperture. Since that time, Apple has released five major macOS updates. For technical reasons, Aperture will not run in future versions of macOS after macOS Mojave. To continue working with your Aperture photo libraries, you must migrate them to the Photos app included with macOS, or migrate them to another application.“  https://support.apple.com/en-mide/aperture Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wellfleet Posted December 4, 2019 Share #5  Posted December 4, 2019 (edited) The SL2 is not yet supported by Apple so it's possible that Photos will be no better - https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT208967 Support for raw with MacOS is part of the system software not part of Aperture or Photos, or so I believe.

giampo Posted December 4, 2019 Share #6 Â Posted December 4, 2019 Anyway it isnn't really the case to use such an expensive and high-end digital camera with such limited/rubbish softwares IMHO Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarkinVan Posted December 4, 2019 Share #8  Posted December 4, 2019 (edited) Your SL2 most likely came with 3 months free Lightroom. Edited December 4, 2019 by MarkinVan Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Petrus61 Posted December 26, 2019 Author Share #10  Posted December 26, 2019 I actually liked Aperture - I downloaded and bought Lightroom - really don't like the system - had same colour problems - uninstalled that...bought Capture One Pro - like the system and ability to move everything around but has the same colour problems.

Stuart Richardson Posted December 26, 2019 Share #11  Posted December 26, 2019 If you dislike the color in all the programs, and your monitor is already calibrated, it might make sense for you to try to make a custom profile with something like a Color Checker Passport. It is not that expensive and can be used for any camera. The process is straightforward and will get you to neutral quite quickly. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeterGA Posted December 26, 2019 Share #12  Posted December 26, 2019 I've noticed a definite magenta bias in C1 'generic' DNG as applied to SL2 raw files - easily fixed, but it is there.... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

C1 uses the stock profile where reds and skin tones are off.  I prefer the SL2 Adobe profiles as a starting point. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luca Posted December 26, 2019 Share #15 Â Posted December 26, 2019 Same problem with SL2 and Lightroom last version (but need last updates) Photos in Library are ok , when you move to development red turn into a horrible magenta/pink. Same subject with SL is ok in Lightroom Will try after last updates. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iainho70 Posted December 26, 2019 Share #16 Â Posted December 26, 2019 I'm using a combination of Aperture 3 and Luminar 4 on the Mac. Not had any colour issues that you mention but it is important to get your monitor calibrated. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
meerec Posted December 26, 2019 Share #17  Posted December 26, 2019 It seems it’s very easily fixed in C1 (ver 20) ... I tried last night and got very neutral and beautiful skin tones which I can’t get in LR (older perpetual license version). To me it means spending another A$500 to buy C1 now ...Maybe the right move anyway. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happens all the time with new camera releases - takes a while for C1 to get around to Leica stuff. Anyway there are many ways to fix the issue with a couple of seconds of PP in LR or C1...or anything else really. 43 minutes ago, meerec said: It seems it’s very easily fixed in C1 (ver 20) ...

I don’t use or pay for cloud storage. But I don’t know about Australian costs. Jeff Edited December 27, 2019 by Jeff S Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
