Preview images in portrait orientation (vertical) very dark and faded

[Nessa]

Windows 7, PM6 (current as of 2019_1115)

Hi all,

When previewing my images all of the images in landscape orientation look fine, but ALL of them in portrait orientation (vertical) are very dark and faded.

I did rotate then and then "Applied rotation to JPEGS..."

I shot in JPEG+NEF with Nikon, and thought perhaps it was the NEFs, so I closed PM6, moved all of the NEFs into a separate folder and started PM6 again, but alas with the same result.

These images look fine in the Contact sheet window, and in Windows 7.

It is very difficult to work with this.
Hopefully, my attachment comes through.


Help is appreciated.

Thank you,
:-)

Can you share one of the actual images, please?

Thanks,

The image has a crop on it.  In the Preview window, click the Clear button.

That should fix each of them once you clear the crop on each image.

Thank you, Kirk,

That did it.
I wonder, though, how all of the portrait (vertical) images acquired the crop.

Could this have happened when I rotated them and then "Applied rotation to JPEGS..."?
