Canon 6D Mk II Raw Files Come Out Magenta in HDR Software

[JuanNOnly]

When I load a single CR2 file from my 6D Mk II into HDR software (have tried several), the image comes out VERY magenta.  Why is that? It's fine in Digital Photo Professional.

What software are you using?  Supplying only one image is not gaining you anything. 

Many of my HDR shot sequences are not always centered around 0 Ev.  I put less trust in the camera metering, and more trust in a test exposure and the in-camera histogram.

I'm demo'ing different HDR software: EasyHDR, Oloneo HDRengine and SNS-HDR.

I think WN and Peter got it right: I think the file format is too new for the software.

If you want to try the raw files from your 6DII on your HDR software you can always convert them to DNG and then open them.

What you do with one single raw image is called tone mapping. Raw converters also have this feature and so does GIMP 2.9.x with tiff files.

I FIXED MY PROBLEM !!!

Ok so this came from the "Affinity Photo" help services : 

Hi Jean,

Thanks for getting in touch.

Which operating system are you using?  If you happen to be running MacOS and High Sierra, then if you switch the RAW engine to Apple Core Image RAW then you can already open those file in Affinity.  To do this, open a RAW image and then click View>Assistant Manager and then change the RAW Engine to Apple (Core Image RAW).  If you then close the RAW file file and reopen it, it should now display fine.

If you are on Windows or using a different version of MacOS, then you will need to wait until support for that camera to be added to the RAW list we use, when this would be i honestly do not know.

SO : for mac users -> you should upgrade to High Sierra Os 
Windows users -> bad luck .. You'll have to wait until further notice 

i did upgrade my laptop and every .CR2 file is now exploitable normaly on every app or even in the finder

Peter, that's very interesting that GIMP 2.9 has tone mapping. I'll have to try that out. Does it support 16-bit TIFF files or is it still only 8-bit?

[Peter]

16-bit. Partha has the latest for windows. I use Ubuntu.
