Crop sometimes displaced (NEF to JPEG) with "save as", "email to" is working!
« on: March 25, 2009, 06:43:39 AM »
Hi,

strange problem here: I crop all RAW images using PM and then I export the images to JPEG for iPhoto usage. I noticed that the crop on some JPEGs is displaced. I see a black border at the border of the image (see attachments). I did already a lot of investigation but I'm not able to find out whats wrong/different with these NEFs. Making a different Crop doesn't help, using a different ratio doesn't help

MacOS X 10.5.6, PM 4.6 and 4.6.1b, Nikon D300 NEF, Capture NX 2.

Any hint welcome...thanx. This issue is hurting me a lot because I've to do all my crops in NX 2 now and this is not what I like to do.

Puuh, just right now I found ONE difference in the NEFs.

If a NEF's alignment was adjusted (a little bit rotated) then PM is not able to crop correctly.

Some more input:

If I send it via Email cropping works fine, if I save it to disk (TIF or JPG) the crop is displaced.

Can you send me one of these images?  Please click on my name to the left of this message, then click on the 'personal message' link.  I will respond with upload instructions.

This issue has been fixed with version 4.6.1b0328 of Photo Mechanic.

Again, thank you very much for your quick support, that's make the difference.

I came looking for answers.. and sure enough I found them.
I have a shot I took yesterday on a D3 camera with a 10.5 fish eye lens... as a raw (NEF). It's a DX lens and the image doesnt cover the whole sensor.  PM did a really rotten job of cropping -- the resulting JPG had acres of black pixels around the tiny resulting crop



This image has been twice through the Save As function... once to get a full rez JPG, then I took that full rez jpg and resaved it to 500 px box for posting here.   Aside from the resolution, the images appear the same.

Anyway, I downoaded and installed the  6.1 public beta 8, and that fixed the problem.
