P: Camera Raw & DNG: Sony RX100 raw + low res JPEG shots are misidentified as being cropped

Eric, if you read to the end of that thread that Victoria linked to, you'll see that there is an apparent inconsistency in relation to the "Add Cropping Information" custom function setting, i.e. when this option is selected LR is actually cropping Raw files, whereas it doesn't crop Jpeg files (that's when shooting Raw+Jpeg, I haven't checked when shooting Raw or Jpeg only).

EDIT: I now have checked, shooting Raw only results in a cropped file, shooting Jpeg only results in an uncropped file.

Furthermore, the 7D has a very similar custom function.....but when selected neither Raw or Jpeg files are cropped by Lightroom.

That seems to me like Lightroom is not handling files shot with that setting consistently (my expectations were that it wouldn't crop anything).

My mistake, thanks Eric

I think the user wrote that he/she is using a 5D III, and in that case, yes, Lr/ACR is respecting the in-camera crop (aspect ratio) setting but does not have a built-in way to recover the full recorded raw image. That ability was newly added in ACR 7.2/LR 4.2 for newly-supported models only (e.g., Sony RX100, among others), whereas the 5D III support was added in earlier versions of ACR/LR. As you correctly noted in that thread, that's where DNG Recover Edges can help.

Hmmmmm, I'm waiting to get hold of some files but here's the applicable thread: http://www.lightroomforums.net/showth... Perhaps it's a different issue.

I can confirm the RX100 is working fine in LR 4.2 (aside from other bugs I filed 😉

This should not affect 5D II images. The default user crop mechanism was only introduced recently and only affects cameras newly supported in ACR 7.2 / LR 4.2, not models like the 5D II which were originally supported in 2008.

Perhaps you meant 5D III?

Also, the issue should be fixed for the Sony case in the final version of ACR 7.2 / LR 4.2.

This may not just be Sony. I've just had a report of Canon 5dMk2 doing the same.

We'll fix this, thanks.
