    Me too – HELP!
    i’m having a similar issue with tiffs imported into FCP 7
    I know there are shift issues on output but i think this is an additional perhaps related issue but do not know how to correct
    for it – and having tried everything i can find by searching the forum
    (changing timeline settings maximum white to super white etc etc)
    Here is an example of the same image viewed in preview or photoshop
    vs the same image (rendered and viewed at 100%) in FCP:

    I am using high quality tiffs in FCP 7.03 on OSX 10.5.8
    This is a DV PAL project for DVD delivery.

    I have done tests by making DVDs and playing them on TVs to look at the colours – not so very different from on my apple monitors – blacks crushed, colours super saturated…

    Does a simple workaround exist?

    i forgot to say that adjusting gamma in the browser or on import doesn’t fix the problem – it in no way restores the image to anything like the natural colours or black/white levels
