Went to print a photo that a friend sent to me and that I hd edited to tweak it for her and discovered that the file had been corrupted. Red highlights were showing in the light areas of the photo and blue highlights were showing in the shadow areas. I seems to be correctable but it takes a great deal of fiddling to repair them. At least half of my photo in all of my project libraries were affected. I edit in Aperture. Anyone out there hear of anything like this happening? I am Baffled.

You will find that it is not corruption but the program highlighting areas that are overexposed - Red and underexposed - Blue.

Thanks guys. As stated I can tweak the editing until these highlights disappear, but what baffles me is that the aperture software has never done this before. What could have changed?
Anyway, it could be a tool that lets me improve my photos. Am I to understand that these highlights would not show up in a printed version should I decide that I deliberately want to retain that over or under exposures?

Absolutely excellent Scott. It tells why this is happening and gives a 2 slider adjustment that improves the photo without the fiddling about that I was doing. This is exactly why I follow this forum so closely. I may never be a great photographer but I get to hang with some. Thanks again and stay away from the Buffalos.
