Ricoh GRIII 1.1 aspect ratio

[EduardoP]

Hi,

I am trying to import a DNG file from my Ricoh GRIII into APhoto shot with a 1.1 aspect ratio, but the resulted image comes totally different from the original (camera screen preview) and also with Irfanview 64 thumbnails preview. I tried with Luminar 4 and it imports exactly as the original image. Are there any configuration settings that I have to change in APhoto in order to bypass this issue?

 

Thanks in advance.

Is the lens you are using on this list:

The Ricoh Gr III has a 28mm fixed lens and yes it is on the list of support camera profiles.

I am pretty sure that this 1:1 aspect ratio is a camera function, a crop, which doesn't transfer to the raw file becoming a square. The raw file will be the same as the sensor size (more or less). You'll have to use the Crop Tool or trim the image yourself in the Affinity Software.

It's just a crop func aspect based ratio size (how should they technically otherwise do that), the initial RAW remains 3:2. - See also related these dpreview threads ...

• 1:1 Aspect Ratio GRiii (lose quality?)

• 4:3 3:2 1:1 Aspect Ratio?

Irfanview 64 thumbnails probably show the already cropped JPG representation implied. And Luminar probably is interpreting the Ricoh Exif MakerNotes more correctly from the DNG file here and so performs/shows up the setup 1:1 crop aspect ratio then.

Thank you both for the explanation. I'll keep the 1.1 aspect ratio just for visualization while shooting, and crop then later on  as I edit the images.

Kind regards.
