Joan77 Posted November 25, 2021 Posted November 25, 2021 Hi I have just had a new camera and when looking at files on my laptop some are not opening correctly. They do open ok in Canon DPP4 and Microsoft photos the files I am trying to edit are raw files, the screenshot attached is a .jpg. Can anyone help please Quote
carl123 Posted November 26, 2021 Posted November 26, 2021 Can you upload that particular CR3 file (shown above) to the forum?

Joan77 Posted November 26, 2021 Author Posted November 26, 2021 (edited) Original CR3 file. I took 13 photos just testing my new camera 8 of which have the same issue when using the longer focal length 132plus and opened with Affinity photo. All 13 images look ok through the view finder of the same image opened in Canons DPP4 it also opens okay in Microsoft photos. I just prefer to edit the raw files in affinity those taken between focal length 18-71 look fine A65A0165.CR3 Edited November 26, 2021 by Joan77 Quote
Old Bruce Posted November 26, 2021 Posted November 26, 2021 Not seeing any problems here, I am on Mac OS 11.6.1 I changed from the Apple engine for raw to Serif's engine for raw and there was no change, I turned on and off various lens corrections and there were changes but nothing like what you see. I would suggest you make sure that the lens in the listing is in actual fact the lens you used. Canon EF-S 18-135 f/3.5-5.6 IS STM And finally you could try turning off the hardware acceleration in Preferences.

In that case it was possible to adjust it manually within APhoto. From the displayed pixel dimensions it appeared that macOS and DPP were able to read the lens distortion info saved with the image while APhoto did not, and thus the image was opened in APhoto with larger pixel dimension whereas it has been cropped during lens correction in macOS and DPP. Note that your image in APhoto has 5120 x 3414 px, compare the size of this image corrected in macOS or DPP, I suppose the latter are smaller. The dimensions in your screenshot give the impression the images were taken as C-RAW or S-RAW in the sake of lower resolution and smaller file size. Just in case, and not related to this topic actually, you might want to read this article about these special kinds of RAW formats, in particular concerning compression / quality. If you need to take pictures in smaller file size then it may appear even useful to take them as high quality JPGs. Quote 4) sRAW is NOT RAW An uncompressed RAW / NEF file contains 14-bits of data per filtered pixel, so color and luminance information is demosaiced by software to form RGB pixel data. When you open a RAW file in Camera RAW or Lightroom, the software reconstructs the image in color by using a demosaicing algorithm on the bayer pattern. An sRAW file is already demosaiced and reconstructed by manufacturer’s camera firmware, so it does not contain most of the information from the RAW file. https://photographylife.com/sraw-format-explained Joan77 1 Quote macOS 10.14.6 | MacBookPro Retina 15" | Eizo 27" | Affinity V1
Ron P. Posted November 26, 2021 Posted November 26, 2021 Are you using an adapter ( EF-EOS R: C ) to adapt a APS-C lens to your full frame mirrorless? Reading up on your camera, it must use the RF mount lenses., unless you use the mentioned adapter.

Joan77 Posted November 26, 2021 Author Posted November 26, 2021 Thank you all for you help. My os is Windows My lens is EF-S18-135mm F3.5-5.6 IS STM Excuse my ignorance Old Bruce but not sure where to turn off the hardware acceleration in Preferences I have selected raw files in camera not c - raw cannot recall seeing s - raw option I am using a MOUNT ADAPTER EF-EOS R Thanks Joan Ron P. 1 Quote
Ron P. Posted November 26, 2021 Posted November 26, 2021 31 minutes ago, Joan77 said: I am using a MOUNT ADAPTER EF-EOS R I'm still thinking that it has to do with an APS-C designed lens used with a full frame body. What you're seeing is common when this is attempted. I think the adapter just allows you to mount the lens to your body. About the only workaround I know of, is to crop it. EDITED: When you use a full-frame lens on a APS-C (Crop Sensor) body, the lens provides more light than the sensor has space. So that area outside the physical dimension of the sensor is just not captured, ie; cropped out by the camera. Reverse that, using a lens that is designed to be used on APS-C camera bodies, and put that on a Full-Frame body, then the lens does not provide enough light to cover the size of the full-frame sensor. So the result is the black area, where there is no light (data) for the sensor. Thus the vignette effect.

At first this CR3 opens as shown in your screenshot and with your according lens correction activated, deactivating lens correction doesn't change the round shape. If I switch to the lens version USM (instead STM) the image switches to rectangular and if lens correction gets deselected now shows a minimal change in its center only. The someway confusing part is that deactivating both the lens correction AND the profile now doesn't show the initial elliptical shape but remains squared, whereas if I switch back to your STM lens it occurs again, with or without lens correction activated. canon eos r5 ef-s lens.m4v 4 hours ago, Joan77 said: I have selected raw files in camera not c - raw cannot recall seeing s - raw option The Exiftool reports for this file "CRAW" * / "compression JPEG" / Image Size "5088 x 3392".*edit: after an update of the Exiftool the type is reported now as "CR3", ".CRX" and "Compressor ID CRAW" Considering that your camera can output images larger than 8000 x 5000 this size appears to be reduced, quite likely caused by the fact that it needs to get cropped because of the lens, as @Ron P. pointed out. The technical data seem to note this image size in particular as "1.6x (crop)" which would mean only 2/3 of the full format sensor may be used for an image with this lens / adapter.

Not sure where to turn off hardware acceleration is this in windows? Thank you all for your generous help I have checked the lens and what I used was correct although as Carl mentioned if I select (Canon EF-S 18-135 f/3.5-5.6 IS) it does indeed give the rectangle. I have compared the exif from Canon DPP4 (attached)and checked the crop being 1.6 and the file is RAW. I also noted the comments regarding the size of the file being reduced. I will try some more practice with my other lenses and take on board all of your comments and maybe realise they may have to go in favour of buying new lenses for the R5. Thank you all once again for your assistance it is much appreciated. Shame Canon are not so helpful when selling the adapters but I keep learning Regards Joan Edited November 27, 2021 by Joan77 further help and notes Quote
