Sorry if this has been covered……please point me to the correct posts.
Aperture imports a tif Adobe98 file and hoses the colors. Example: a fill of (72, 182, 70) in an A98 file imports into AP3 with a major color change. If I take that same file and convert it in PS to sRGB then import that to AP3 the colors basically are the same as the non imported A98 file in PS. Some think things changed when AP3 came out and others think it is a Lion issue. I think Colorsync is the color engine for Aperture… How can color issues happen in an Apple product? Thanks for all helpful suggestions. DAvid
David, just to be clear, since you're sort of quoting my BR on this. The colours do change when you import an sRGB file, but it's hard to see, visually, without a wide-gamut monitor. People here will know what that means. Using the dropper in PS will show you those changes in numbers. Speaking as the person that has reported this bug 3 times (subsequent to various Aperture updates without a fix) I can confirm that it is NOT a 10.7 (Lion) issue. It is an Aperture 3 issue. It did not exist in Aperture 2 (even in Lion). Yes, it's a gigantic bug (data loss.) No, Apple have not fixed it since I reported it in June last year. If any list members would like to take a look, I posted a thread on Aperture Discussion last July ... which details the problem : Aperture Discussion Grant Symon
