Why is Camera Raw cropping my pictures?

I've been struggling with this issue for a few months now and can't find an answer anywhere on the web.
I have a Sony SLT-A33L camera. When I copy the RAW images my laptop (Macbook) the image dimension is 4592 × 3056 (3x2). However, when I open the  image in Adobe Camera Raw it gets cropped to 4592 × 2576  (16x9). The Sony software that came with the camera allows me to save preview images as 3x2 or 16x9 so I know there's nothing wrong with the files. Is there a way to show and save a preview image using the native  dimension in Camera Raw? BTW, I am using the latest Photoshop CS5 version 12.0.4 & Camera Raw version 6.4.1.145.
Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Nevermind, I finally found what was the issue and how to fix it, more details in this article:

  • When importing RAW files in Photoshop why does camera raw 8.6 only import 1 size?

    When importing RAW files in Photoshop why does camera raw 8.6 only import 1 size from canon 5d mark iii, in older versions I used to be able to import the files as larger images. It use to have a number of options for the images size. The option now is smaller than the maximum size used to be.

    You know what - I'm sorry
    I'd had a crazy long all-nighter session sorting out images for a client, then decided - when I should have simply gone to bed - to set up the new photoshop. At the very start I made a silly mistake, tried to sort it out then decided to call it a day, responding to your remarks with the problem still in my head but feeling more and more tired.
    Responded again to your comment earlier with the problem still in my head but not in front of me on the screen - however with a fresh head I just turned it all on, opened up PS and today could instantly see what was going on - Oops!
    Thank you for being patient with a sleep deprived photographer who must have been getting annoying yesterday
    I am officially embarrassed

  • Camera RAW - Crop and save in . NEF format

    I know how to use the Crop Tool in Camera RAW and save the picture in the original Nikon .NEF format.
    I am unable to set the Crop Tool to a proportion (24x36, for instance) and do not know if this is possible.
    It can be done in Photoshop setting the Marquee Tool to the appropriate proportion and cropping the Image-Crop.
    However, in this case I am unable to save the result in the original .NEF format (which is not proposed), but must use .TIF, .JPG or others.
    My two questions:
    1. Is there a way to set the Crop Tool in Camera RAW to a fixed proportion?
    2. Is there a way to save the cropped picture in Photoshop in the original .NEF format?
    Many thanks for your help.

    In Camera Raw, hold down while clicking on the crop tool and you should have a bunch of ratio presets (as well as "custom") available.
    To open an "NEF" in PS, hold shift down in Camera Raw, and you'll see "Open image" becomes "Open object". This creates an embedded RAW smart object in PS, which can later be edited using Camera Raw if desired, by double-clicking on the smart object layer icon in the layers panel in PS.

  • Why does Camera Raw 6.7.1 w/ Photoshop CS5 not convert raw files from a Nikon D610 camera?

    I just upgraded  my Nikon D90 camera to a D610.  I've been using Adobe Bridge to manage my photos made with the D90, and Camera Raw 6.3 to convert the raw files for use in Photoshop CS5.  The new D610 writes different raw files, so I upgraded Camera Raw to the latest version (6.7.1) which is said to be compatable with the latest Nikon cameras. 
    The D90 files still convert fine with Camera Raw 6.7.1, but the raw files from the D610 cannot be read.  Does anyone have any insight into why not?
    Thanks,
    JoelP

    There will not be another update for Camera Raw 6.x which is the version that is compatible with Photoshop CS5. So you will not have a way to natively open your NEF files from the Nikon D610.  But you can download the DNG converter (version 8.3 RC) from Adobe Labs and use it to create digital negative copies of your NEF files. And then you can use those with the Camera Raw that you already have. Other alternatives would be to upgrade to Photoshop CC, or Photoshop Elements 12, or add Lightroom to your workflow. If you choose Lightroom you would have to use the 5.3 release candidate at this point to have support for your camera. It will, of course, be supported in the final version of Lightroom 5.3 as well as all subsequent versions of Lightroom.

  • Lightroom 3.6 camera raw 6.6: pictures destroyed

    Dear Support-Team,
    I am using a Canon Rebel T3i and have problems while importing my raw-pictures into my lightroom 3.6
    In the importing window - all pictures look great and good. As soon as they are imported, some of them get destroyed (half of the picture that shows a lot of stripes) and you can't indentify the picture anymore. Is the camera raw version of my canon not supported with this lightroom version? How could I solve this problem? It is not a problem of my SD-card - since it happens to all my cards and pictures are shown the right way before really importing them. Also: not all the pictures get destroyed while importing.
    Thanks,
    Corinnafe

    Thanks a lot for your answers. The problem happens after importing into the libary and exists afterwards also in the developing tool. I don't think it's a cable or USB port problem, since I can see how the image has to look like before and while importing. So - the original data is probably not damaged. I also tried it already with the DNG converter. Unfortunately this didn't work either.
    I am using LR just for a couple of months now. I had no problems at all at the beginning. But by now, more and more pictures turn out to be damaged... And I didn't change any settings in LR...

  • Camera Raw crops my image from left and right

    As you can see in the screen cap, camera raw inside AE opens my timelapse images cropped from left and right. I had this problem before in photoshop too, but never tried to fix it. I'm now in serious trouble and need to find a solution ASAP.

    I'm guessing that you cropped in camera and when you shoot RAW the crop is honored but can be removed. I would use Lightroom. Set up a preset that resets the crop and process all of the frames and then export a png or if you want to do some advanced color correcting in AE, select any of the 32 bit image formats and render your resized images to a specific folder. Then import the images as an image sequence in Premiere Pro or AE and do the rest of the work. Importing an image at a time into AE and sequencing the layers in nuts...IMHO
    One other thing, before you shoot any more images with this camera go through the menu and reset it to not crop your images.

  • Camera Raw crop problem w/ smart image

    When I open a smart image in Photoshop CC using Camera Raw, there is NO crop icon in the tool bar. Why

    I'm assuming you mean when you make a Smart Object and put it in the camera raw filter.  There is no crop function when doing this.  If you want to crop it, use a layer mask.

  • Why does Camera Raw goes back to CS5 settings?

    I just installed CS6. When I open my photos from Bridge in Camera Raw, the old window from CS5 opens (the one with Fill Light and Recovery), not the new one with Highlights/Shadows. I can get it to change to the new version by clicking on a fly out menu that says Reset Camera Raw Defaults but I have to do that for each photo. How can I get the new version to open all the time?

    It sounds like Camera Raw is simply using the settings you saved when you last opened the image.
    You may have also saved Camera Raw Defaults from the older version.
    Set new defaults using your CS6 PV2012 capabilities, then if you open an older image and wish to use the new process version, either change just the process version value or choose Default Settings and re-develop your controls until you like what you see.

  • Why will Camera Raw 6.7.1 in CS5 not recognize Raw files from a Sony DSC RX100M3?   The Camera Raw site indicates this camera is covered.

    I have a new Sony DSC RX100M3 and Camera Raw (6.7.1) in Photoshop CS5 (on a Mac) will not recognize the Raw files from this camera.  What must I do?

    Well, I guess the sentence
    The table below lists all cameras that the Camera Plug-in (versions 1.0 through 8.5) supports.
    could be interpreted to mean that even version 1 supports all those cameras’ raw formats.
    And even the sentence
    This powerful plug-in has been frequently updated to support more cameras and include more features and is available as part of Adobe Photoshop CC.
    which should make clear that older versions of Camera Raw usually support fewer cameras does not unambiguously make clear that only the most recent full version of Camera Raw is being updated.
    So I kind of understand how you arrived at your assumption.

  • Why do Camera Raw mods show in Bridge CS6 on one machine but not the other?

    Bridge CS6 and Photoshop CS6 are activated on our two MacBooks.  Before adding the second activation, image modifications performed in Camera Raw (8.4.0.199) would show in Bridge on our MacBook Pro.  Since then, they don't show on our MacBook Pro but do show on our MacBook Air.  On both machines, when we launch an image from Bridge, the modifications show in the Camera Raw window.  Is there a setting that we have inadvertenty modified on the MacBook Pro, that controls whether Bridge displays Camera Raw modifications?
    Interesting related factoid: the "Camera Raw Preferences" item in the "Abobe Bridge CS6" menu does nothing on our MacBook Pro but works normally on our MacBook Air.  It's like Bridge doesn't know that Camera Raw is around (?)

  • Why does camera raw change my image?

    I have had this issue a while now and can't figure out how to change this. When I upload my images from the camera they are exactly how I wnat them in Bridge. Then when I zoom in on the image or open in ACR the image seems blown out and orange or has magenta tones in it. Because the image changes so much Iend up spending lots of time fixing in ACR rather than inhancing in ACR. Can someone please help me. I am using PS CS4, Windows7 and I shoot in RAW.

    First, I only have CS5 so I may have given some preferences to look at that you don’t have or are available via a different set of clicks in CS4; however, from your responses, the situation seems relatively clear: the image in Bridge is the camera-rendered JPG thumbnail/preview while the image in ACR is the Adobe-rendering and is all you’ll ever be able to produce.
    There are two issues:
    1)      Bridge is not showing you the Adobe Rendering for some reason.  Perhaps Bridge CS4 still has a setting of whether to show high-quality thumbnails/previews or not and if you set this, then you’ll see the Adobe-rendering in Bridge as well.
    2)      You expect the Adobe-rendering to be the same as the camera-rendering, which it can never be.  This is the main issue, although if item 1 was working, you wouldn't be distracted by the in-camera rendering.
    How to produce the camera-rendering is known only to the manufacturer of the camera and anyone who has licensed their technology.  Adobe is a separate corporate entity with no access to the camera-manufacturer’s intellectual property governing how they produce their JPGs,  so Adobe has no way to produce the camera-rendering, nor do they want to.  Adobe wants to produce similar output from different cameras.  Presumably you are using the Adobe Standard camera profile.  If your camera is a Canon or Nikon or one of a few others, then besides Adobe’s standard camera-profile there are others that you can choose from where Adobe has attempted to approximate the in-camera rendering via a profile, although this may or may not be that close, it will be closer than using Adobe Standard as your profile.  You can find the camera profiles in ACR using the tab that looks like a black camera, 3rd from the right.  If you find a different camera profile more to your liking, then you can set that as your ACR default so newly processed images will have that new profile.  Besides chaning the profile, you can also dial back the saturation or vibrance and save that as your new ACR defaults.
    I should warn you that the images in your screen-shot from Bridge have a slight greenish tinge and is quite pale-looking to my eyes, and the ACR view looks more natural.  It may be that your monitor, being uncalibrated, is distorting the colors and so your processing produces colors that everyone else will see as odd if they are viewed on different computers.  If you only ever use your processing to create prints and those prints look ok,  then perhaps this is not a problem, but if you produce web galleries for outsiders to view on their own computers, then it could be a problem.  It also could be that you and I are seeing the same thing and just differ in our preference for natural skintones.  If I had to guess, I'd say the screen-capture you have opened in Photoshop was done with an sRGB profile assigned as your monitor profile, but your color-settings in Photoshop assigned an Adobe RGB profile without doing the profile conversion and so the screen-capture as displayed in Photoshop does not actually look like the original screen in Bridge.

  • Crop Ratio Camera Raw / Scott Kelby Book for Digital Photographers

    From the Book of Scot Kelby regarding the Camera Raw usage.
    - The Adobe® Photoshop® CS5 Book for Digital Photographers
    Chapter 2. WWF Raw: The Essentials of Camera Raw > Cropping and Straightening
    If you reopen your cropped photo again in Camera Raw, you’ll see the cropped version. To bring back the cropping border, just click on the Crop tool. To remove the cropping altogether, press the Esc or Delete (PC: Backspace) key on your keyboard (or choose Clear Crop from the Crop tool’s pop-up menu). If you want your photo cropped to an exact size (like 8×10″, 13×19″, etc.), choose Custom from the Crop tool’s pop-up menu to bring up the dialog you see here. You can choose to crop by inches, pixels, or centimeters.
    In this topic Scott Kelby is explaining Crop Ratio for ACR 7.x
    In this version there is the possibility for Crop Ratio to Inches, CM and Pixels. However with the Newer version this option is no longer available.
    Hopefully this will safe some of you the time looking for this.

    Precisely what Conrad Chavez says: a very good change.

  • Camera Raw 3.6 vs 3.7  HELP!!!

    When converting a NEF with Version 3.6 the resulting JPG can be rotated in MIcrosoft's Picture and Fax Viewer and the rotation will stay that way with future viewing with Microsoft's viewer. If converting the same NEF with Version 3.7 the resulting JPG will not stay in the rotated position after leaving Microsoft's Picture and Fax Viewer. Can anyone explain why the difference between the two camera raw versions.

    Windows Picture and Fax viewer will also not zoom to 100% when you click on the "actual size" icon for any image that used either ACR 3.7 or DNG with 3.7 or both. This works for all previous version of ACR or DNG. When you click on "actual size" you get "drawing failed", but if you rotate the mouse wheel one click either way the image appears and you can then rotate back and get 100% size.
