Having recently upgraded to the D7200, I originally shot a lot of stuff in JPG with no difficulty. However, I'm now switching to RAW (NEF) and have encountered an odd problem. Whenever I download pictures into RAW processing software the images have a very pronounced magenta colour cast. I can get rid of this with some work, but it shouldn't be there, so I'm wondering what causes it.
I should say that I don't use Windows, having opted (wisely layful to abandon it about eight years ago in favour of Open Souce software. I currently run Linux Mint 17.3 as the OS, with my workflow handled by DigiKam (image processing and cataloguing, similar to Lightroom) and GIMP (an excellent Open Source alternative to Photoshop). In addition to these main applications, I also have a couple of alternative RAW processing programs, but the colour cast problem appears in all of them.
I have raised this issue with several of the pro's in my camera club, but they are as mystified as I am about what causes this. If anyone has any experience of such a problem, I'd be grateful for any advice on how to fix it.
