ARW files turn purple and can't barely be made out ?

[basketbeau23]

Shooting raw with the sony a7ii. If i import the file into the app it turns purple and is barely recognizable let alone editable.

Strange, for my a7RII and my friends a99II they look just fine, what RAW engine have you choosen?

Hi basketbeau23,

 

Welcome to the forums.

 

To check which Raw engine you're currently using, switch to the Develop Persona and open the Assistant Options. On the dropdown for RAW engine you have Serif Labs and Apple available, if you change, click OK and close and reopen your image.

 

If you continue to have issues with those RAW files, please can you post a link to a sample file for me to test.
