I merged two RAW files in PhotoMatixPro to produce a TIFF with embedded ProPhotoRGB profile. When I imported this TIF into Aperture3 it didn't look quite right - colors were toned down in bright areas. I checked how the same image looks in my other apps (PSCS4, Bridge, Lightroom 2 and 3b2, LightZone and Preview) and they all display it the same - only Aperture3 is different.
To illustrate what I'm seeing here is a screen shot showing the same image in Preview and Aperture - the color differences in the rock are quite obvious
Screen Capture.
I don't see this problem with my RAW images so I can only deduce that Aperture is ignoring the embedded profile in the TIF while all the other apps are honouring it. I really prefer Aperture to LR but if this is the case this would make Aperture unusable for non-RAW images.
Can anybody else confirm what I'm seeing?
