Strange cropping dimensions

(1/1)

rienvanham:
Hi all,

My workflow is to put all original photo's in a tree called "original photo's". Then I put the adjustments on the original photo (such as cropping to 16*9 - for displaying the photo's on my tv). But, when I put a cropping mask over the photo I see the following strange dimensions:
Dimensions: 4928 * 3708
Dimensions crop: 1437 * 808 (but I cropped the full width of the photo).

What's going on? Now I'm loosing almost all the quality....
What am I doing wrong?

Thanks in advance!

Hayo Baan:
What type of files are this? Could it be the embedded preview is not full size?

rienvanham:
Hi Hayo,

These are raw (Sony) files with the extension ARW.

Cheers,

Rien.

Sony RAW files only contain a low-resolution preview in them.  If you process the image in the Adobe Camera RAW plugin for Photoshop, your crop will be correct and you'll get full resolution.
