Hi,

the on-screen rendering of photo is not 100% accurate in almost all cases. This has been repeatedly stated as "by design" by moderators.

Especially if you are using filters like sharpen, add noise, blurs, you can get rendering artifacts pretending more contrast or sharpness.

To get the most-accurate rendering of the document, you have a few options:

  1. Merge visible. Yes, this is the easiest way
  2. Edit>Preference>Performance
    1. Set view Quality to "Nearest Neighbor"
    2. Set Retina Rendering to "High Quality (Slowest)"
    3. Zoom in to 100%
  3. Even with these settings, here are some open bugs leading to wrong rendering for documents having very fine details

The only way to really see how the image will look is to export it.
