Hi, can't figure out why my raw files have always this purple/violet tint all over the image. What is exactly happening with this one? Thanks!

Did you try opening the raw files in different programs?

Have you set a manual whitebalance?

What camera? What lens? What RAW converter? Is your monitor calibrated? Do you have a filter on the lens? Is your raw converter importing to a specified white balance or a certain preset?

It could be any of these things. Without more info we are just guessing. Posting a screenshot of an example picture in your raw converter where we can see the settings would take a lot of the guesswork out.

Some of my old Nikons have a purple color cast in the shadows, usually visible only at high ISO.

My Sony used to do that

🤔Are you looking at them on a calibrated monitor?
