Thank you for taking a look @h_d Hope someone can figure something out. At least if I have to reprocess the photo I want to know what to try differently to avoid this issue.

Thank you for your help @walt.farrell I am using a MacBook Pro. See attached stats. I have not changed any performance preferences in Affinity photo. I just downloaded it and started using it. Also see attached performance settings from Affinity Photo.

@Greyfox Thank you so much for your help. I also resaved the file, however Im still seeing the same distorted squares as the original afphoto file (see image attached). The issue becomes worse when I save the image to a .jpg, as seen on the window in the post above. @Greyfox in the file that you saved do you see the issue on the front/grill as shown here? The .afphoto has the issue on the front/grill of the car, when I export it to .jpg the issue is worse.

I would be really interested in hearing other opinions on what happened here. This took a lot of work and I would hate to have to re process this photo because of these square issues. thanks.

That is a massive bummer. This looks like a big software issue to me.

I uploaded my afphoto file to a google drive. Let me know if there are any issues downloading. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1piumHO-7wHWd2QysYnd0P1191iTyCghR/view?usp=sharing Thank you, Cody

The adjustments are basic exposure/HSL/Shaddows/highlights. The afphoto file is about a gig due to the layers. I do not think I have the history saved on the file. Do you think this has anything to do with it being in 32 bit mode?

I really have no good way to describe the issue that I am having other than uploading an image of the issue itself. Basically, I am editing this photo and I keep finding random square pixels that become solid colors after I apply certain edits to the photo. I started noticing the issue after applying some adjustments masks. The issue became worse after I exported the image as a .jpg Thank you for any help with this issue.
