Thank you Walt, but that option was missing, that's why I had to use PowerShell and the correct command was (in my case): Remove-AppxPackage -Package SerifEuropeLtd.AffinityPhoto2Beta_2.5.0.2430_x64__3cqzy0nppv2rt

Thank you Dan. How can I uninstall the beta version from my PC? I can't see it in the list of installed programs (Windows Store and Installed Programs): HRESULT: 0x80073CFA

I deliberately took a very dark photo to test the RAW -> JPEG export of both Affinity Photo 2.4.2 and Affinity Photo 2.5 Beta, in both cases with HW acceleration enabled. These are the results: 2.4.2: 2.5.0 Beta: I did not check all the other settings, but the issue seems solved.

Thank you Dan, I am a registered user of and I confirm that disabling OpenCL-based hardware acceleration is indeed a viable workaround: Some technical details about my PC: - Microsoft Windows 11 Pro (64 bit) 23H2 (10.0.22631) - Intel® Core™ i5-14600K - Intel® UHD Graphics 770 (with up-to-date drivers)

Thank you @Komatös, but I've used several other packages to process RAW files on the same hardware and they don't produce this kind of artefact, so I'm assuming that: 1) It's a bug in the Affinity code that may be hard to find and/or fix, but it's something that's been around for years. OR 2) Other manufacturers are also affected, but they don't use hardware acceleration when processing RAW files to generate JPEGs (I doubt it, given that the export times are "consistent" with those of Affinity Photo with HW acceleration enabled) Searching the web and this forum, the problem seems to affect a wide variety of video cards (Intel, Nvidia, AMD), so I doubt it is a problem with a specific driver or video card. And I understand that hardware combinations and the use of certain versions of a compiler can play a role, but it seems to be a fairly common problem.

This seems to be an outstanding bug since at least 2022: In my case, white lines are present in ALL the JPEG files created by exporting RAW files, I use an embedded Intel video card (i5 14600K) with the latest video drivers, but the issue seems to affect also other videocards: Disabling hardware acceleration could avoid this behaviour, but I really think that this problem should be solved without giving up the benefits of having HW acceleration available.

Hi, I have the same problem with my RAW files (Nikon D7000) and disabling hardware acceleration seems to avoid the generation of these artefacts, but that should not be the solution ( ) Since it's still there in Affinity Photo 2.x, how can we submit a bug report to the developers? NOTES: In my case, white lines are present in ALL the JPEG files created by exporting RAW files, and they are many more and longer than those shown above. The user above has an RTX, I use an embedded Intel video card (i5 14600K) with the latest video drivers.
