I don't think you've said what OS you're using, @markhartphotography, and (if Mac) what kind of computer and what performance options you've chosen in the Affinity Photo Preferences. That could be relevant information.
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.

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. -

If you try to use the inpainting tool or the patch tool it will not patch over them, some of the squares also scale up and down as you zoom in and out. If you change the top layer to Hue you get to see a lot more.
Without the masks and adjustment layers it's hard to say why or what caused this, I think the only thing you can do is re process the original image and take notes as you apply each edit.
That is a massive bummer. This looks like a big software issue to me.

Which adjustments?
Can you provide the the .afphoto file (preferrably saved with the History), so we can see it for ourselves?

I uploaded my afphoto file to a google drive. Let me know if there are any issues downloading.

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.

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.
