Yes! Thank you Lepr. Didn't realize I wrote bilinear.

Thank you all for your help on this! I followed your guidance again today, carefully following the steps, and low-and-behold, today the moire is gone when I change the resampling to either of the lanczos settings or using bilinear! I can only assume I screwed up following the export settings. Both of the painting side images looks just fine now! Thank you lepr, markw, old bruce and john!

Lepr, thank you for offering to take a look at the image! Again, the moire shows up when the image is reduced to 1500 px. Here's the image attached. 4121 right test.jpg.zip

lepr, thank you. I followed the steps you suggested to emulate Preview and remove the moire, but the moire remains in the image. This is the image after exporting at 1500 px resizing as a jpg. I guess I'll just use Preview first if this ever happens again. This is actually the first time I've had this happen, so I wonder if something in the recent Affinity update might have been changed. Oh well, at least I have a solution.

Thank you lacerto and markw for your suggestions. I tried them all, with no success in fixing the moire in the images. I ended up using the Mac-installed app: PREVIEW to change the image size to 1500 px. Then I imported it to Affinity Photo, adjusted the light and warmth, and then exported. The image looks perfect. No moire. I'm a little flabbergasted that I had to use macIOS Preview app resizing tool to successfully change the image size before importing to Affinity Photo. Could this be a bug?

When I resize to 1500px jpg and change ICC profile to sRGB IEC61966-2.1 the painting has swirled pixels. This is only happening for the images of the sides of the painting. (not images facing straight-on) Weird. I turned off accelerator.I'm running on macOS M1 Max Ventura Version 13.6

I would LOVE to have pattern-making tools on Affinity Designer! I'm a huge fan of the Affinity products and pattern repeat and pattern preview features would be a wonderful addition, as well as tools to help with getting the offsets right.

I cannot save my files in either Affinity Photo or Designer. Below is the error message. I'm running the most current version of both programs as of 7/19/2020 on a Macbook Pro Ver. 10.13.6 The weird thing is that after I get the message that "Failed to Save Document", it looks like there actually IS a file saved on my desktop. When I try to open that document in the Affinity Programs, I get the message "Failed to open document". I can only export a flattened document, not save layers. HELP!!

I'm a newbie here and also think the tool icons on the left side are hard to see... I just changed my preferences to show the word for the tool as I scroll over each icon. So far I've found Affinity Designer to be such a great, fun, easy app to use compared to other products out there (including Illustrator which gives me a migraine headache every time I try to learn how to use it as I paid my monthly exorbitant $50) so just add the words for the tool. Sadly, I'm such a newbie that I couldn't go back and figure out how I added the words for the tools, so at least here's a photo of what I mean.

Thank you for your help! Yes, I do save Photoshop images uncompressed as I was under the impression this is the best way to save my images, but perhaps I've been misinformed.

I just started using Affinity Photo, and I noticed that my painting panorama tiff files are half the size of the same Photoshop tiff files. I think Photoshop is saving as 32 bit and Affinity is saving as 16 bit. (Would this even matter for print publishing?) I always submit to my publisher 300 dpi "at size" of the original painting. If it is important, is there a way to save as 32 bit? Thanks so much for any help I can get on this issue!
