This is a necessary

This is a necessary compromise: with arbitrary cropping, the question arises as to where exactly to base the color mosaic description: from the edge of the sensor or from the edge of the visible area.

No changes are planned: this change was made once many years ago and will not be reversed.

We have never provided any guarantees that the visible area offered by the library matches the EXIF ​​(and the typical visible area is somewhat wider).
