In the Color Factory Settings app, expand the relevant channel and select Metadata. 

The General tab opens.

In the Reading Metadata section, you can choose how Color Factory should handle soft crop information in the metadata. Select one of the following:

  • Read and Apply Soft Crop data - the high-resolution image is cropped according to the soft-crop information.
  • Read and Preserve Soft Crop data - any soft crop data in the input file is not applied to the high-resolution file but is still preserved on the output file.
  • Remove Soft Crop data - remove soft crop data in the input file.
