The crop tool in develop persona acts erratic wrt the bounding box of the RAW layer.

 

Steps to reproduce:

  1. open RAW file
  2. set lens correction / vertical to -100%
  3. activate crop tool
  4. adjust area by increasing crop
  5. rotate cropped area

Expected: the automatic adjustment of the cropped area during rotation should show any meaningful relation to the RAW layer content

Observed: the automatic adjustment of the cropped area during rotation seems totally erratic. It has no detectable relation to the actual RW layer bounding box or the edge between opaque and transparent areas, no matter if factoring in lens correction or not.

I'm not sure if I'm missing something key but I'm not seeing the behaviour shown in your recording on Mac/Windows, recording attached.

Well, did you extend the crop area before rotating? 
Do you use embedded or linked RAW?

Yes, as shown in @NathanC's screen recording...

He did, but did not apply. it was reset in the second he started to rotate. In my video you see that I had extended the canvas via crop before starting the process.

In my experiments it does.

It's perhaps worth updating the five steps in your initial post to include this step as you don't mention this and it's not immediately obvious from your screen recording that you've done this because the screen recording starts after you've extended the canvas via the crop tool so we've just been following the five steps to the letter hence why we're likely not seeing the same behaviour...

Having said that, maybe I'm still missing a step as this is what I see after committing the crop before rotating the image which as far as I can tell is then applying the crop to the newly expanded image which includes the checkboard area that was baked in at the point the crop was extended at the start of the process...

Please let us know if we're still missing some steps here so we can see if we can replicate the issue as you're seeing it...

Revised list of steps:

 

  1. open RAW file
  2. set lens correction / vertical to -100%
  3. develop
  4. in photo, use crop to increase canvas by factor 2
  5. re-enter develop persona
  6. activate crop tool
  7. rotate cropped area

I'm unable to provide a new video at this time as my mouse movements are not fit for video and would require too much cutting.

Hi @NotMyFault,

Steps 3 to 5 in your revised recipe are a crucial factor in the process here so many thanks for the update...

I'm trying to wrap my head around this but I still believe that at the point you Develop the image and then 'use crop to increase canvas by factor 2' before 're-entering the Develop Persona' you've effectively baked in the crop that now includes the checkerboard background so once you attempt to re-edit the image in the Develop Persona you are no longer editing the source image but rather the source image including the baked in additional canvas area (i.e., checkerboard area) which is why you're seeing what you see in your screen recording...

More than happy to be shown otherwise but my initial instinct would likely be, based on your revised steps, that this is expected behaviour...
