Strange cropping activity from photoshop cs6 to lightroom 4.3

Question

i have never noticed the following activity:
I edited, including cropping, an image in photoshop CS6. I saved the image as a tif and also as a psd. Both sent to a folder which exists in LR catalog. Both images were revealed in LR with the SYNCHRONIZE FOLDER command.
Both images are shown in the appropriate folder, BUT BOTH ARE CROPPED MUCH MORE THAN was done in CS6 editing. Approx 1 inch has been removed along the left side (long dimension) of both images as compared to the dimensions in CS6. They happen to be sitting next to the original image in the LR catalog and it is easy to see the unwanted change. The route from CS6 to LR 4.3 was what I normally use.
WHAR COULD HAVE CAUSED THE APPARENT ADDITIONAL CROPPING SEEN IN LR. Developing in LR crop does allow the image to be restore to proper dimensions by expanding the cropped edge.
wonder if this makes any sense?
I have probably set a switch wrong in LR but cannot find my error. Photoshop seems to have performed flawlsessly.
I use iMac, i7, 10.8.2, 16GB ram.

Answer 1

thank you cornelia, for your reply.
I really have no workflow as I rarely do more than retouching of photos for others, each of which usually requires an irregular, often trial-by-error workflow. Most of these images are in very poor condition and are less than well photographed.
The "future project" was really a shortcut to say that i suspected that my client cannot open PSD on her machine and I wanted to have tiffs available for her.
I am afraid that i have not clearly described what i saw happen. And, it continues to occur with this single image after repeat tests of the same procedure. NONE of the other images in that folder, or any other image I have, responded in the way I attempted to describe. Probably user error-I guess I will never know!
In any case, I am very grateful that your had the time to respond.
