Why does DeepSkyStacker output a cropped, wrong-size image after stacking?

I’m stacking 20 light frames in DeepSkyStacker 3.3.2. My original images are 4282×2848, but the stacked result comes out around 1088×2874 with the aspect ratio badly altered. It looks like only a narrow left-hand slice of the original frame was saved, rather than the full image being rescaled. Registration and stacking complete normally using the recommended settings. Is this a known issue, and what causes it?

This seems like a bug in 3.3.2 with canon raw files, using 3.3.4 solved the issue.

Yes — this was reported as a bug in DeepSkyStacker 3.3.2, particularly affecting some Canon RAW files. The symptom matches what you describe: the stacked output appears as a cropped slice with incorrect dimensions rather than a properly stacked full-frame result. The fix is to update DeepSkyStacker to a newer version; according to the community answer, upgrading to 3.3.4 resolved the problem.
