why does computer sometimes display pink digital photos?

[glen]

I dumped about 800 pictures from the card on to my laptop. Raw files I will edit later in Lightroom once i get back home. I went to view some on the laptop in picasa, and they are mostly pink. why is that?

Example? Do you have your white balance all screwed up?

they look fine in the back of the camera

I'm not familiar with Picassa but try uploading them to google drive and see how they display. Are you doing raw+jpeg and just looking at the jpegs?

Have you historically had this issue with Picasa?

I've used Picasa for a few years now and I've never had this issue.

What if you preview them in Windows Photo Viewer ?

they are pink in Windows Photo view. I would upload and example, but have crap for connection here.

Picasa is messed up and not updated enough. I get purple tinged photos with it and Sony RAW files for the RX100, for example. Nothing wrong with the RAW files, just Picasa.

Not sure about Windows Photo view.. they do have some update that allows for RAW files to be viewed, but I have not had a problem with that.

JPEGs should be fine for both. If not, then you know something else is wrong!

RAW files are much different from other image formats... I doubt free web services are up to the task of reading them correctly.

litroom should have the appropriate camera filter file to decipher and correctly display the files.

Apparently it is a known issue with certain programs, including PICASA.
On my laptop on vacation, so I was doing a little processing to upload a couple to facebook before I get home to Lightroom.

Picasa isn't a serious photo editing app so they don't update enough to account for all the new cameras. Adobe on the other hand updates Lightroom all day long and they patch the minute a new camera hits the street.

Adobe has been known to be kinda slow for the less-popular cameras. Still, your point is right in that they update a lot faster than Picasa.
