I just put a new set of photos in Bridge and they have a crop sympol over them.  When I open them in PS Raw, they are all cropped.  This just happened.  I've neve seen this issue reported. Any one else having this issue?  I have to go in and reset the crop on every photo that I open.  VERY annoyong.

    Double-check the Develop Settings to ensure that nothing is automatically happening. Within Bridge: Edit > Develop Settings

    I'll be moving this to the Bridge forum where this belongs.

    For the original question , or for @Floline Media It is possible to set up a default RAW preset, that Bridge will use to render the thumbnails, not sure if that could be corrupted, or set to crop.
    for @Melankaya Are you on a PC, a Mac? which exact version of Bridge or Camera Raw?

    On the Canon R5, I can select to add crop marks in the view finder. I select 4:3 because that approximates printing on a 10" x 8" (4:3.2) paper. This helps with composing the picture, but the camera still captures all the pixels.

    When I import into Bridge, the crop marks appear and the image shown is in the 4:3 ratio. By using Edit | Develop Settings | Clear Settings, the crop mark disappears and Bridge dispays all the pixels that were captured.

    Im trying to figure if there is anyway to remove the crop symbol (not to uncrop). I also have a small adjustment icon nect to this. i usally enjoy screenshotting a selection and sending it off to clients and cant do this with the icons

    I guess you can either use View > Show Thumbnail Only (at the cost of the names being represented in the screenshot) or use the Output Module to create a contact sheet.

    I had the exact same experience as @svkinzie. I moved RAW photos directly from my camera's SD card to a folder on my computer. I am the only person who has access to and uses my computer. These "crop" symbols appeared randomly (without explanation) for me, too.
    Thank you to the @josephlavine who recommended the "Develop Settings, Clear Settings". This got rid of the crop symbol and did not delete my ratings, which I was worried about.

    @c.pfaffenbichlerYour opening question was hostile, aggressive, made assumptions, was impolite and quite offensive. You should work on that. On the positive side, the screenshot you offered showing where the "Develop Settings, Clear Settings" was nice. Your solution was quick and correct. Also, very helpful was your warning  other settings could get deleted with this solution route.

    What do you assume my assumptions were exactly?

    Well, why did you or whoever else has access to the images crop them in the first place? 

     

    I suppose you could remove the settings on all selected images in Bridge via Edit > Develop Settings > Clear Settings, but that would also remove other settings you might want to keep. 

     

    Edit: Or File > Edit in Camera Raw and snchronise the Crops?

    I didn't which is strange.  They went straight from my card reader and opened bridge - they all have a crop sign and are cropped.  Very strange.

    I've moved this from the Using the Community forum (which is the forum for issues using the forums) to the Photoshop forum so that proper help can be offered.
