Editing picture with landscape mode
Answered
Hi,
this one is strange, or I could just be dumb :-) BUT as I'm digitising my vinyls I decided to make a PDF of the album covers. I took a landscape picture of the inner sleeve of the record and transferred it to edit on On1 PhotoRaw 2023.5. So, I keystone the picture and crop it. It looks fine. It is still on portrait mode on On1 so I just rotate it and it still looks fine. I open it in detail view and it looks fine...for 3 seconds which after it goes back to portrait mode and my the picture now has left less than 50% of it and the crop (for what is left of the picture) creeps back in?
Any ideas? have I done something wrong or is there a bug in the program with landscape mode?

I've never seen anything like this.
When you say, "it is still on portrait mode", do you mean it came into PR oriented vertically rather than horizontally as it was shot? That's pretty odd.
Can you share your file with me please? Zip together the raw file with its .on1 sidecar then post the .zip file to a sharing service like Dropbox or WeTransfer or whichever is your favorite. Post the download link here.

Hi,
Yes for the horizontal mode. I did manage actually to get it done by exporting the picture to JPG and then importing it and working on it. Here is the archived ZIP file of the original picture and the On1 sidecar.

It looks like there are a couple of issues happening here. 1st is a known problem with landscape oriented photos not having the correct orientation when viewed in Photo RAW. If you had held the camera the other direction it would be recognized correctly.
The 2nd looks like something that needs to be reported to tech support. When the photo is both Rotated and Transformed (with the Transform panel, not the tool) it is getting confused or one of them is not recognizing the other correctly. You can try Rotating 1st (sometimes the orders of transformations makes a difference) then using Transform to square up everything. Export from the Editor to a dng so that stuff gets saved to a new file. Now you can work on the dng doing the crop and whatever else is needed.

Many thanks for your help. I'm happy that I found a workaround with export/import. I will try and take the landscape picture holding the phone other way around. I guess that this also shows when shooting movies on iPhone as the thumbnail picture is upside down and cannot be rotated.
