Why does my photos change after importing them?

I've shot hundreds of pictures from a wedding in sunny Toscana, Italy with a new Sony Hybrid Camera. They're all shot in RAW and looks good in the camera preview. When I import the pictures to Aperture, they look the same in the "filmstrip":
But then, after selecting them, they change into extremely overexposed versions that can't be used.
I don't get the same issue when I open them with Photoshop. What is going on?

Toning this down to half helped a lot. But now it looks kind of gray.
By default the settings should be o.k. Leave the "hue" boost at a higher value.
It's a pity, that your first encounter with Aperture is this bad.
Then you have to do all sort of tweaks and tuning to get them back in decent shape.
Is this your first encounter with RAW images as well?  RAW photos will generally need a lot of tweaking, since the RAW format is the naked data right of the sensor, without any effects and adjustments applied. RAW is the image format for those photographers that want to develope and tweak the digital negative themselves. If you are happy with the RAW developement that your camera does, consider to set the camera to shoot high quality JPEGS or TIFF images. Then you will have the RAW developement of the camera as the starting point for your own tweaking and do not need to start from point zero and do the basic adjustments as well.

  • Why does my image change when imported into Mac Captivate?

    The image is a png and originally part of a Captivate 6 template created in Windows. When I import the image into Mac OS X Captivate 6 the quality literally changes before my eyes.
    Can anyone tell me why this is happening? and how I can correct it?
    Thank you!

    If that's the only place you used that unique font, yes.  Convert the textbox to an image file by applying a drop shadow to the font and setting the opacity of the drop shadow to 5%.

  • HT2534 Why does my password change after it was set and then 10 min latter does not work

    Can you conirm why my login to Itune now does not work with any od the store purchase, I want to BUY but it does not work
    Do we have to have two password for the same email address Stor and Ituns?

    The same password should work whether it's authorising the account on your computer's iTunes, signing in to view the account, or buying/re-downloading items from the store with it. What happens when you try to buy something ? Have you tried signing out (Store > Sign Out menu option) and signing back in and seeing if it then works ?

  • Why does the font change when importing to my ipad as a pdf

    I have a publisher document with black chancery font which was not on my current computer so I installed the font. It now appears in my document and when I save it as a pdf it seems to be there. BUT when I send it to my iPad the font is not what it should be.

    You need to make sure the font is embedded in the PDF. This is optional in some sofware.
    If it is not embedded, your local font is used. No such local font exists on the iPad.

  • I can no longer rotate photos after importing them.

    I can no longer rotate photos after importing them.  This option was available before they last update.

    There is another current discussion about this going on. I copied it and pasted the answer here.
    "Your functionallity is on an IPAD 2.  This forum is refering to an IPAD 1!
    I spoke to Apple technical support and they concur.
    The feature was available on IOS 4.3 and was removed in IOS 5.
    They directed me to 3rd Party Software.  I told them this is not an anwser since I have 100's of picture which must be loaded in the the 3rd Party Software Rotated individually and saved back into the Save Folder.
    They said if they have enough compliants it will be fixed in the next rev."
    Here is the link to the thread.

  • Why does the name change to my dad's name when I use his credit card for downloads?

    I have an iPod touch. I have my own apple ID and icloud account. Why does the name change to my dad's name when I use his credit card for downloads? Is there a way I can have my own account and use my dad's card without having his name on my photostream and icloud?
    I went on icloud.com and changed my name but it changes the credit card name to mine as well so I can't get apps unless its under his name, but it confuses everyone i share photo streams with, as there are two of my dads?
    My aunt is having the same problem with her photostream, so I know its not only me.

    I have this problem and it's annoying.  Plenty of people in this world do not pay for their own stuff!.  So i have 5 kids.  All there accounts show as my name when people add them for Photo streams etc etc.  This is ridiculous.  Why not seperate billing address / credit card details to the name of the person on the account?  Why do they have to be the same?

  • Why does my itunes crash after start up with an "APPCRASH" error every time i open it?! I have been trying to fix this for weeks but all i can do it re-install it every other day which does nothing!

    Why does my itunes crash after start up with an "APPCRASH" error every time i open it?! I have been trying to fix this for weeks but all i can do it re-install it every other day which does nothing! I am desperate to get access to my itunes to get music on my phone and all of this just makes me want me to sell my iphone since there is no other way to add music to my phone. If things go get sorted soon you can say goodbye to my support.

    For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
    The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down the page in case one of them applies.
    The further information area has direct links to the current and recent builds in case you have problems downloading, need to revert to an older version or want to try the iTunes for Windows (64-bit - for older video cards) release as a workaround for installation or performance issues, or compatibility with QuickTime or third party software.
    Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there are also links to backup and recovery advice should it be needed.

  • Why does my phone disconnect after 4 hours of call time

    why does my phone disconnect after 4 hours of call time? Is there anyway I can change this?

    You mean that you're on a single call for 4 hours continously, and then it disconnects?
    If so, contact your wireless carrier.  That's a cellular connection issue.

  • I have my wallpaper/screensaver pointed at my iPhoto album. why does a photo of half dome pop up occasionally? where is the photo stored?

    i have an late '09 27" iMac upgraded to yosemite (I've accepted all upgrades from apple along the way). i have my alternating backgrounds & screensaver pointed at my iPhoto album. so why does a photo of half dome pop up occasionally? where is the photo stored? i have been to yosemite many times and do love the scenery there, but i'd like to be in charge of my screensaver. i've tried looking for the photo by name/name fragment,  but of course, if apple doesn't want us to find it, we won't find it. i don't like apple preventing me from setting up background/screensaver to my liking. apple makes the computer for the rest of us.

    You're welcome.
    have you noticed for yourself if these photos are always mixed with one's selection via system preferences?
    Actually no.  What I have always done was this:  I have a collection of custom desktop pictures   I made a custom folder for the pictures & placed them inside the Machintosh>Library>Desktop Pictures folder.
    Then I went into System Preferences>Desktop & Screensaver>Desktop, clicked on the plus sign to add my custom picture folder. 
    Restarted my comp.
    Never had any issues by doing the above.  I have always done it this way since the Tiger OS.

  • Why does my keychain close after 1 hour from restart or logout/login

    Why does my keychain close after 1 hour from restart or logout/login.

    You mean the keychain closes or it locks?
    What is your current keychain lock time?
    You may need to open the Keychain Access utility, select the keychain, and choose Edit/Change Settings for Keychain to change the lock time.

  • Can I burn hd home movies to dvd in itunes after importing them into my itunes library

    Can I burn to dvd, HD home movies from a HD camera in itunes after importing them in my itunes library

    I don't have iTunes set to manage my music but if I move an item to the trash that is the file iTunes uses, it will still play in iTunes until I empty the trash.  Of course at that point it is permanently gone so if that was my keeper file then I have messed up.
    One overlying recommendation is to back up your computer before doing the editing.  If you make a mistake you can always go back and try again.

  • How do you "eject" a camera or such device from the photos app after import?

    How do you "eject" a camera or such device from the photos app after import?

    Thanks for your answer. It certainly seemed that since there was no longer a control-click option in Photos for a mounted device that a hot dismount or eject would be OK. Should there be any caveats to the user who selected a Finder option not to show Hard disks, External discs or CDs DVDs and iPods--or is this still uniformly true across all devices (old iPads, Firewire, etc.)?
    This is only true for devices that are not accessible in the Finder. For iPhones, iPads, newer iPods. If a device shows up in Disk Utility as a mounted disk, you have to eject it properly.
    But the newer iOS devices are not mounted as a disk, that a user can write to or eject.
    For example, I just connected my iPhone 5s. It shows in Photos and iTunes in the sidebar, but Disk Utility does not show it as a mounted device, so there is no way to eject it.

    I am messaging and texting a friend who also has an iPhone. Now All it will come up with the green text but in some rare cases it will randomly turn to iMessage.
    Why does it randomly change without me doing anything?

  • Why does't Flashplayer work after I agreed to an update from an Adobe pop-up box prompt?

    I had problems last year when Flashplayer stopped working suddenly.  After months of seeking help, I received instructions that fixed the problem...until the other day.  A pop-up box from Adobe appeared indicating an update was available.  I agreed to installing the update and the Flashplayer has not worked since.  I referred to my notes from the "fix" last year and made one adjustment in the Active-X settings, but this did not help.  Flashplayer still does not work.  Help!  I just don't think I can go through this for several months again.

    Hi,
    I am going to try reorganizing my reply first and
    just forwarding to you before I try to recover a
    message.  I think the problem may be that I
    provided answers within your text instead of
    separately.  Your system may not like the format
    I tried.  So here goes....  I have pulled my
    answers out of your message and they appear in
    the order of your inquiries below.
    “Check the Windows system tray carefully to make
    certain no applications are still in memory which
    might possibly use Flash Player.” –a statement
    from the Adobe Un-install link article.  I don't
    know what “in memory” means.  The only things I
    have that may use Flashplayer that I know of is
    the Weather Bug.  Windows Mediaplayer is also
    listed in my programs, but I have never used it.
    Also, there is no mention of Norton here, but
    Norton Internet Security ’09 is what I have installed.
    1. No Firefox.  MSN Exlorer is listed among my
    Programs, but I have never used it.  It was
    likely installed by Dell when I purchased the computer.
    2. Norton Internet Security '09.  Bell Internet
    Security - Alert is listed in my programs (with
    options, including uninstall) but this is the first time I have noticed it.
    3. Norton Internet Security has a firewall with
    it that I understand is way better than Windows.
    4. There is a Google toolbar, Norton toolbar and
    a bunch of stuff listed in the Manage Add-ons
    like Skype, Adobe and Sun Java Console which I think are add-ons.
    Java Webstart is listed under Accessories in
    Programs.  In Programs is Adobe Distiller 6.0,
    Adobe Acrobat 6.0 Standard, Adobe (which is
    empty), Adobe.com and Adobe Reader 9.  I did not find DLM or GetPlus.
    I found no listing for Shockwave Flash
    Object.  You did not ask this and I don't mean to
    get ahead of you but in case there is relevance,
    I looked in Internet Options, Security, Custom
    and saw a number of reference to Active X and
    plug-ins, some of which are disabled; others enabled.
    From reading in your posts to mlmarg, I saw the
    instructions for finding the Flash folder and
    used them.  I used Explorer to access My
    Computer,, C Drive, Folder 1386, Folder System
    32.  There are 2 items in it from 2002 but not
    what I think you want.  The 2 are SMSS.EXE and
    NTDLL.DLL.  If this is not correct, I will need your instructions to locate it.
      I will ask because I don't always understand
    what you are asking of  me.  Thanks.
