Adjustments grayed out on new jpeg imports

Hi all,

I just imported my Aperture Library of about 30,000 images into Capture One. Before I shot RAW, I shot jpeg, so there are thousands of jpegs in Capture One now. For many of them (not all), all the adjustment controls are grayed out (and there's a small badge on the thumbnails, showing a pencil with a diagonal line through it, obviously indicating that they can't be edited). Does anyone know why this would be happening -- and please, is there a way to override this? I will at some point need to edit some of those jpegs!

I do have -- and did have -- the box checked for "edit JPEGs" before I did the import.

Thank you!

  First check, what mode of operation is your Capture One running: Pro, DB, Pro (for Sony)? You can find this in the Capture One > About menu. If it is Pro, that is good. I assume it is Pro. Also, are you on the latest version?
  
  Next, can you say something about the JPEGs, which ones are and which ones are not editable?
  
  Next, what is the disk location of the images. I assume you run a catalog, not session. Can you confirm?
  
  Last, did you use the Aperture Importer or did you import directly into CO8?

  Hi,
  
  I'm on the PRO version. I have 8.2. I've heard concerns about 8.3 so I haven't updated to that yet.
  
  As far as I can tell, there is nothing that distinguishes the editable from the non-editable JPGs. Even some from the same "event" are mixed between the two. Some uneditable images are scanned JPGs; some are from an old Sony point-and-shoot; some are from a Canon T1i.
  
  I imported using the Aperture importer.
  
  All the images are on one external hard-drive. I've opened a support case.

  So I opened a support case and got an answer to this. You can't edit JPGs that are less than 600 x 600. I also had a bunch of black-and-white scanned jpgs that came out read-only. Phase One said grayscale scans aren't editable; RBG scans are.
  
  Hope that helps.

  Is this perhaps related to the issue where jpeg's are not properly color managed when downsized below 600 wide?
  I generated some portrait jpeg images that were below 600px wide, and they are garishly shown in Capture one, but properly shown in photoshop. As soon as I generate a jpeg from the same raw file that is wider than 600px, it is suddenly also properly shown in CO1. It looks as if jpegs below 600px are either improperly color managed or not at all.
  Does this sound familiar? I edit on a wide gamut monitor, but also on my laptop colors are oversaturated.
