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.
