What in the world is going on?

Hi,
all of the sudden my PM looks like that. It is only when the nef and jpgs is combined and only in 100% preview. Best Karsten

Karsten,

What Nikon camera are you using?
What version of Mac OS X are you running?

I am using Nikon D100, Mac OS 10.4.8. and ADR. I have just changed to "Render Raw for Preview..." so maybe it has been a problem all the time. To make it even more confusing: it is not on every nef/jpg combination!

Can you send me a NEF/JPEG pair that exhibits the problem?

Karsten,

DSC_569306-061030.nef and DSC_569306-061030.jpg

I have allready sent them.

I downloaded the samples.  What path has the NEF file gone through?  It shows a resolution of 2008x3020, while the matching JPEG shows a resolution of 2723x4096 which is greatly different from the JPEG size.

I never could reproduce the stretched out image you posted but the image resolution does seem odd...

Kirk,
the nef-files has been imported with PM then opened and edited in ACR. The difference between nef and jpg is because the file has been upsized/resampled in ACR. Then saved as jpg.
I have not been able to reproduce what the problem is. It shows up in some pictures in different folders and only when the nef and jpgs are combined. If I separete them the nef´s look normal again! ???

I have seen distorted views like this when using RAW+jpeg from a Canon EOS1D Mk2.  When viewing RAW+jpeg I have PM prefs set to use the jpeg for the Preview not the RAW, for better speed.  If I want to check the RAW in more detail I use the Q keyboard shortcut to switch to have the RAW rendered, and I have somtimes seen this stretched behaviour then.  I'm not certain of the exact circumstances when it happens as to when it doesn't.  My RAW+jpeg pairs are not the same pixel dimensions as each other since I use the small jpeg setting if shooting RAW+jpeg, so I'd assumed it was some sort of cache problem when PM gets confused and distorts one pic to fit the resolution of the other, or vice versa.

Thank you for your response. Is there a way to work around this "cache problem" you are talking about? Best Karsten

I have no idea if it really is a cache problem or not - that's just my uneducated guess!  When I have had this happen I have not been able to work around it, but I have not tried very hard to do so.  I shoot RAW only rarely so it has not been a big problem for my work.  Next time it occurs I shall try to work out exactly what I have done beforehand.
