Sony Raw (ARW) A7S Purple Cast

Post by Opie »

I've seen the other messages about Nikon raw coming in with a purple cast under earlier versions. Now this is happening with my Sony RAW files from my A7S. This did not previously happen, and does not happen when I load using Aftershot 3. Is there a setting I'm missing?

Hi Opie, thank you for your report. Unfortunately we did not see any similar bug report from other users also we cannot duplicate it with PSPX9 GM (19.0.0.124) and Update2 (19.0.2.4) version. If you don't mind, could you share your A7S RAW image for testing reference? Thx.

Cheers

http://info.uniden.com/twiki/pub/images/_DSC2670.ARW is the raw file.
In PSP 9 x64, latest build, the image looks like http://info.uniden.com/twiki/pub/images ... 70-PSP.jpg
In Photoshop CC2017, the image looks like this: http://info.uniden.com/twiki/pub/images ... toshop.jpg

In both cases I made no adjustments to the original image...simply opened then saved as jpg.

Note that A7 raw files look fine. It is just the A7S ARW that has this issue.

Just applied SP3. No change, but noticed that initially the images all look OK in the Manage screen, but then as all images adjusted the A7S files went purple. Probably was doing the same thing previously, but just noticed now as I immediately scrolled down the list to my A7S shots.

Also just noticed that this only started happening with V2.00 firmware in the camera. V1.1 raws are OK. Latest V3.1 files also purple.

Purple here too in my X9 SP3. But in my AfterShot Pro 2 and ASP 3 Standard it comes out perfectly...

Sorry, I just noticed my ASP 2 is only Standard as well -- it was only ASP one where I had the Pro version. I don't think HDR editing is available in the Standard version.

Glad to see it isn't just me. Would be even more glad if Corel would confirm, too...

Ok, a bit more info I discovered this morning:

Picture taken with Sony SEL18200 is purple: http://info.uniden.com/twiki/pub/images/_DSC2730.ARW

Picture taking with an old Minolta lens on a LA-EA4 Mount Adapter is good: http://info.uniden.com/twiki/pub/images/_DSC2731.ARW

Pictures both shot in P mode, no settings changed between shots (unless forced by lens).

I have other lenses, but unfortunately not with me right now.

Well, I'm almost full time in other programs, now, as there is no resolution to this.

Crap. I had hoped that PSP 2018 might have affected this, but no luck. I guess it is bye-bye to Corel.

The image DSC2670.ARW also shows up purple in easyHDR3. Apparently it's not only PSP.
