Why have I lost the top of my photograph, but it can be seen in Widows Photo viewer?!

Yes
Just as the thread title says . . . what is going on? Opinions and solution welcomed.

Top Left = Windows Photo Jpeg, Top Right = Windows Photo RAW
Bot Left = Canon DPP RAW, Bot Right = Windows Paint Jpeg

Windows photoviewer is the only one that see the very top of 2Y3A5368 scaled for Talk.jpg

One thought I had, though I had no idea that "Paint" might do this.

Was that there is 'lens corrections' being applied :thinking:
 
No lens corrections . . . each were opened as the as-taken-photograph. Now that I know about it I will have to leave a bit of room around the subject. You have prompted a thought however, is this only lens that this happens to (Canon 15mm f2.8) ? . . . I'll have a look at this momentarily. I will report back as it is useful information for everyone.

This also happens with my 300mm f2.8 ii . . . Not the end of the world, but I am losing some periphery :eek:

(Jpg in windows Photo viewer, RAW in windows Photo viewer, Jpg saved from the RAW in windows Photo viewer)

It's not an answer to your problem per se so much as a piece of photographic trivia. Some time ago, I read a review of a couple of 15mm lenses, and noticed that one of them showed a noticeably narrower angle of view when two images of the same subject from the same position were placed side by side. As a exercise, I put the one with the wider angle into Photoshop and corrected the barrel distortion evident in that image but not the other. The resulting image then showed the same angle of view after the unusable bits had been cut out. The first lens showed the image straight out of camera apparently, so it would seem that the camera's firmware was correcting the image automatically to remove distortion.

is your camera a full frame or cropped, if it’s cropped you have to allow a bit more space around the image

Full Frame Canon. I find it odd that the information is there in the RAW CR2 file, but the Jpeg omits it in its rendering of the information and only the Windows photo viewer sees it as a complete RAW but Canon DPP does not se all the RAW file !!

As an additional piece of info to my post ~5 above, the autocorrecting camera was a Canon.
 
Windows viewer does not have the ability to. Apply the firmware corrections to raw images

In most other programs and formats they are applied automatically.

With mirrorless cameras you see the adjusted jpeg in the finder when shooting raw. This is not the case with a DSLR.
