Tonkar Posted November 13, 2019 Share Posted November 13, 2019 Hi, if I open a raw file in Affinity Photo it is always slightly cropped. Why is that? Sometimes tihis is a real problem for me when important details are at the edge of the photo. If I open the same photo with Photoshop this does not happen. Or is there an adjustment which could be made? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tonkar Posted November 13, 2019 Author Share Posted November 13, 2019 Oh! Thank you so much! It's a bit strange that the cropping seems to be the default setting ... Thanks again! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not exactly cropping, though it may appear that way and is in some ways similar. First, just to make sure you know, Affinity Photo will usually (at least with the Serif Labs RAW engine) retain more pixels than most other programs (more than the advertised number of pixels for the camera). That confuses some users. Next, for your case, Photo knows about the usual image distortion caused by your lens, and it is adjusting the image to remove that distortion so you don't have to do it manually. But image adjustments like that, just as when you straighten an image while cropping, can leave unusable areas around the edges. So those need to be removed. That involves something that is kind of cropping, but it's really removing damaged areas after the lens distortion is corrected. Most of us don't want distorted pictures, so the default setting is to remove the lens distortion when the lens and its characteristics are known.

Not all default settings make sense in my eyes But I'm glad that people could help me so quickly in this forum! walt.farrell 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ger_marsh Posted November 14, 2020 Share Posted November 14, 2020 I got caught with this too and thought I had done something interesting! Any way of disabling the default lens correction? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
