Kclson Posted July 20, 2021 Share Posted July 20, 2021 Recently I purchased FastRawViewer. I use it to cull files before bringing then into AffPhoto. I suddenly noticed that I am seeing more image in FastRawViewer than I am seeing in AffPhoto. It came to my attention because I noticed, in FastRawViewer, that I had clipped two corners with the lens shade on a 8mm fisheye lens. I don’t remember seeing the two corners showing the lens shade edge when I looked through my view finder. However, when I brought the file into AffPhoto to develop the RAW file it appeared cropped. Showing much less image than I could see with FastRawViewer. So my question; is AffPhoto clipping the edges of my RAW files? Or is this due to the fact that I am using a DX D3300 Nikon which is APS-C? I’ll attach two screen captures showing the difference in the two images. There is quite a bit more image seen with FastRaw Viewer. Camera: DSLR Nikon D3300, Lens: Rokinon HD*M-N 8mm f/3.4 HD fisheye lens. (This lens is designed for the APS-C and will produce a rounded image with a full frame camera). And my 2nd question is; Will this particular phenomenon go away if/when I upgrade to a full frame camera? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walt.farrell Posted July 20, 2021 Share Posted July 20, 2021 Affinity Photo will actually show more pixels than most other applications will show. However, you may be seeing some cropping caused by correcting lens distortion.

Kclson Posted July 20, 2021 Author Share Posted July 20, 2021 Thank you Walt! That was it! I checked in preferences to see if I could set this to not automatically kick in with every file but couldn't find it. Is that possible? If not I'll just have to remember to turn it off each time. Thanks again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
