In this case, all (or perhaps all but one) are a mess. > Near as I can tell it is caused when optimizing some of the lens parameters(I > have not narrowed it down to a single one yet, currently I am thinking that > any of the lens settings can mess it up).

I've already optimized the same set of parameters. Resetting the lens parameters temporarily cleared it; when I reoptimized, it came right back. > For debugging I find this in both the 2012 and 2013 versions.

Unfortunately, the "regular" preview lacks a lot of features that the GL preview offers. The ones that matter most to me are on the fly cropping, positioning, and exposure adjustment. Positioning and exposure adjustment I can work around, because there's usually enough usable imagge. Cropping is another matter. > Near as I can tell the other preview does not do it.
