[Author Prev] [Author Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Author Index] [Topic Index] [Home] [Search]Thanks for the suggestion Bob. I have tried that and the images show as mono in the import grid. I have come to the conclusion that the jpeg which acts as a preview embedded in the DNG file is in b&w and I don't know how to get around that. Capture One reads the files as colour. Aperture won't read them at all.
