How to apply cropped aspect-ratio according to RAW's XMP-metadata.


Recommended Posts

Dear Community!

Shooting RAW files in cropped format (e.g. 4:3 instead of the default 3:2) can be very helpful for framing (knowing that one needs a ration of 4:3 later on anyway).
Even though a non-standard aspect ratio (i.e. other than 3:2) has been set, the raw files will always be stored in full resolution of 6000x4000px, ratio 3:2.
Opening DNG-files in Adobe Bridge will show the images as expected in the cropped ratio, the way I framed it and the way I want to export my edits as well.
(The standard aspect ratio and image resolution, of course, do depend on one's camera model.)

--> Question:
Is it possible to apply the cropped aspect ratio according to the file's metadata in the "Develop Persona"?
When opening Affinity Photo and loading the DNG file into the Develop Persona, the full RAW image of 3:2 with 6000x4000px will be shown, instead of the desired 4:3 with 5328x4000px.
So far I was not able to find this option somewhere in the "Crop Tool [C]" or else where!


Thanks in advance for any tips/links/hints/help!
