Recently did a photoshoot on my canon 5D Mark III and used live view since I neede to be right above my subjects. My camera had a 1x1 aspect ratio on (didnt know how to fix it at the time, I did now, but didnt see an issue) but showed the full image on image playback so I thought it was fine. I opened the images in Lightroom CC and they show up as regular aspect ratio until I click on them and they go into 1x1 and dont go back. Is there any way to fix this or are all of my live view taken shots stuck like this?

Hi, I have the very same, infuriating, problem now... I wonder what plug-in you used, I can´t find it on the website.

Thank you!

It is easy to see what is going on when inspecting the file with ExifTool. Here are the various pixel width/height tags:

[IFD0]          ImageWidth                      : 5760
[IFD0]          ImageHeight                     : 3840
[ExifIFD]       ExifImageWidth                  : 5760
[ExifIFD]       ExifImageHeight                 : 3840
[Canon]         CanonImageWidth                 : 5760
[Canon]         CanonImageHeight                : 3840
[Canon]         AFImageWidth                    : 5760
[Canon]         AFImageHeight                   : 3840
[Canon]         CroppedImageWidth               : 3840
[Canon]         CroppedImageHeight              : 3840
[Canon]         OriginalImageWidth              : 5760
[Canon]         OriginalImageHeight             : 3840

The offending metadata is obviously:

[Canon]         CroppedImageWidth               : 3840
[Canon]         CroppedImageHeight              : 3840

I'd recommend that you look into Canon software to see if it can bypass the cropped metadata.

Another option would be 3rd party software, for example on a Mac, Raw Photo Processor ignores the crop.

Rawdigger shows the same metadata.

It doesn't allow for editing and that's the rub.

Agree the next stop is Canons software.

Can you upload one raw to something like Dropbox to inspect?

I suspect you are just seeing a crop based on metadata meaning you probably have full frame raw data but an example raw would help.

Don't have drop box or any of the other suggested things I have found since most of them are iPhone apps and I have Android and Microsoft products

Google Drive would work for this. I believe One Drive would as well.
