Black and white previews of color images... #1

Hi, I noticed today that the previews of the images I recently imported are in black and white although the Thumbnails are in color. I imported new images from a different camera (Nikon D800) and the same thing happened. This is a new behavior that I had never experienced since I started using Aperture in version 1. Anyone experienced this or has any suggestions? Thanks a lot. m.

Some facts:
-This happens with images that are referenced and available, as well as when the masters are offline.
-I 'reprocess originals'.
-I also tried with 'Generate Previews' and 'Update Previews'.
-I'm running: Aperture 3.4.5, Mac OS 10.8.5.

Ive not heard of that. You are sure there is no Adjustment brick for B&W on the image. All images?? I guess Id start by tossing the Plist or cache file and then do the there steps of repair and rebuild from top to bottom. (hold option + command key when starting aperture. Let us know so at least I can keep guessing. :-) dbm

DBmoore, thanks for your response. Seems you are ‘stuck’ with my Aperture issues. You also responded the last time when I had a ‘weird’ issue.

Regarding your comment, no adjustments what so ever have been applied. The strange thing is that the thumbnail is in color and the preview in B&W. I’ll try to rebuild once again the database and see if this makes it.

Appreciate your help. Martin.

FInally, simply by removing the plist file made the previews return to color. Hope this might help someone down the road. Thanks.

This is one of OS X’s notorious “glitches”. When a properties list (plist) file gets corrupt it hoses up the application that depends on it. Only by deleting it (or knowing the right set of Terminal commands to fix it) can you get things working again.
