Strange colours when opening raw files

[and_rew]

Hi, I am having an issue with raw files, when opened they are displaying areas of wrong colour or very bright colour.

This can be dealt with by reducing the exposure, brightness, vibrance or saturation, usually about 1% - 3%, devoloping then putting back in photo persona, any thoughts welcome.

It's not a desperate problem but it is annoying.

These are your Highlights and Shadows and Midtones warnings. Hard to tell but they are all on.

To show clipping:

On the Toolbar, do one of the following:

• Click Show Clipped Highlights to display all 'blown' highlights as a high-contrast red colour.
• Click Show Clipped Shadows to display all clipped shadow areas as a high-contrast blue colour.
• Click Show Clipped Tones to display all clipped midtone areas as a high-contrast yellow colour.

Thank you both for your help, I never noticed I must look more closely in future.
