Hello everyone, new user here- glad to be a part of the community
I have noticed that my RAW images imported into Lightroom (cloud based) are cropped in and I lose a small amount from every side, compared to when opened and viewed in Windows File Explorer. When I shoot JPEG+RAW and compare the images in File Explorer the JPEGs are noticeably cropped- it’s probably only a small percentage but when you A/B them you can clearly see it. When the RAW file is then uploaded to Lightroom it’s receiving the image with the appearance of the JPEG and when you open crop there is no more image to make it bigger.
This happens for both of my cameras- a Panasonic GX80, and a Nikon D200.
To clarify- neither cameras have lens correction in camera. In fact my old DSLR doesn’t even have that capability I believe, and I’ve searched the menu.
I also have no image correction settings on in Lightroom, although even if I did this wouldn’t explain what’s happening with the files outside of Lightroom!
I’m also shooting the cameras at their native aspect ratio.
Extra piece of information I’m not sure is relevant: When I open the RAW file in File Explorer it loads the image in exactly like how it is in Lightroom (cropped) and then almost ‘pulls back’ and reveals the extra information on each side. It’s like when this file is then put into Lightroom it’s receiving the non whole version.
I’ve spent many hours searching online for possible explanations and nothing fits. This is obviously very upsetting because I have now realised that all my images in Lightroom are incomplete/cropped in.
I’d very much appreciate some help with this
Thank you,
Tom
