Domus Posted September 20, 2021 Share Posted September 20, 2021 I just discovered, to my horror, that ORF RAW files are cropped in Affinity Photo. I kept wondering why I was suddenly cutting people's feet off. When I checked the JPG versions, however, all feet are there. Funny thing is, AP shows that the ORF version has a resolution of 5240x3912, while the JPG version shows 5184x3888. When I view the files with the Windows photo viewer, the JPG version is the cropped one, and the ORF shows quite a bit more. So I appear to be losing quite a bit of pixels in AP. Anything I am missing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Bruce Posted September 20, 2021 Share Posted September 20, 2021 There are Lens corrections which sometimes crops quite a few pixels out. And then there is the Vignette removal which does sometimes do some more cropping.

Domus Posted September 20, 2021 Author Share Posted September 20, 2021 Right after I posted, I thought of turning off Lens Correction, and indeed, as both have replied, it does solve the problem! Is there a huge visible disadvantage of keeping it turned off? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With some lenses you'll see the barrel/pincushion distortion. In my option you really only need it when you are taking pictures of checkerboards.

I'm now trying to set the default to "no lens correction" , but I seem to only be able to create a new preset, which I then have to select each time. But maybe I'm drawing this conclusion too hastily and need to investigate how to change the default settings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NotMyFault Posted September 20, 2021 Share Posted September 20, 2021 Another advise for taking photos is to always include enough space around your subject / compositions. Most people (including myself) tend to zoom in too much (or come too close with prime lenses). You can always simply crop unwanted parts, and be lucky having some reserve pixels at hand when straightening, rotating, changing aspect ratio etc. - or for lens correction in this example.

In the Develop Assistant there is a lens correction default drop-down option - set it to none, instead of auto.

You mean "Default lens profile"? In any case, tried that and it works perfectly. Thanks! Dom kirkt and NotMyFault 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
