So you might need to convert all your RAW files to DNG first. The pictures on the other hand were taken with a Sony Alpha 330, whose RAW flavour is called ARW. However: this only works with DNG, CR2 and ORF. exiftool -AspectRatio="" -AspectFrame="0 0 0 0" -DefaultCropOrigin="" -DefaultCropSize="" -CroppedImageWidth="" -CroppedImageHeight="" -o output.dng input.dng With the famous exiftool I was able to get the original, uncropped image back: ⊕ exiftool must be installed and in your PATH. But again: They do, without telling the user about it – which I think is certainly a dark pattern.
That is either a setting, which was surely not activated deliberately by the photographer, ⊕ Why would you even activate it? You will have to develop the photos no matter what, so you can always crop them later or some online sources suggest that it’s happening automatically if you use certain focal lengths (not really sure about that).Īll of the programs, and even Windows, respect the spec and will use the crop setting from the RAW’s metadata.
The camera did set a 16:9 cropping to be applied to the photographs taken. So what exactly happenend? Exiftool (here the GUI is displayed) quickly revealed the problem. Even worse: no program actually gives you a hint saying that there is some weird bullshit going on. This is an excellent example of being spec compliant but losing your user along the way. My second guess was that there could be some kind of “pre-cropping” taking place – and I was right – it’s just you simply can’t see, or let alone change it in Camera Raw, Lightroom, etc. This “easy” solution was shortly after ruptured by the insight that my friend faced the same issue with the files coming directly of his camera. The SearchĪt first I believed it was a thing only occuring due to up- and downloading the RAW files via Google Drive. There is missing a whole part of the image.
How about now: The same photo openend in Camera Raw.Įxactly. Now, that’s the same photo, downloaded, viewed as thumb in Windows Explorer. See, the image to the right is the preview I got on Google Drive. Let’s have a closer look at the problem I encountered.
