When importing a 'cropped in-camera ’ raw file into PL6, does the file open showing the crop or not please?
I am aware that the raw file is unchanged.
That is a good question. The Q3 has crop lines for 35mm, 50mm, 75mm and 90mm as well as uncropped at 28mm. They are just different in-camera zoom options. I would presume that the crops are only for the SOOC jpegs. I doubt you would be getting cropped raw files. But I would be interested to know if I am incorrect.

The links are dead but I’m still looking for a solution so that I might avoid Lightroom for culling and use Photolab instead. As such, Lightroom automatically applies the in-camera crop on raw files on import. The complete frame data is shown with adjustable crop overlay when selecting the Crop tool in the Develop panel. Perfectly expected behavior that I wish were present in PL.
If not that then at least a key-combo that allows me crop equally from all sides when using the crop tool in PL. This would allow me to easily crop to the center of the frame to match the behavior of the camera.
Mmmm, curious about the “dead links” - that’s not usually the case in this forum.
Regarding using PhotoLab as your image evaluation tool for culling. Even as a PL enthusiast myself, I do not advocate using it as a culling tool - it’s too slow for this purpose - - That is not intended as a criticism of PL, there are good reasons for this;
-
PL does not simply display the JPG that’s embedded in the RAW-file, as many image browsers do.
-
Instead, it “processes” the RAW file itself to produce a displayable image - and then it applies various correction algorithms (depending on the preset set to be applied to all newly encountered images) … and all that takes time - it’s not instantaneous.
-
You’d be better advised to use a simpler/faster tool for culling - and then process your keepers with PL. One such example, used by many experienced PL users, is Fast Raw Viewer … or, for a simpler approach (which displays the embedded JPG) try Irfan.
