Don C Posted December 30, 2021 Share Posted December 30, 2021 I am not sure how to describe this problem, so my apologies if it has already been addressed somewhere. I tried searching but couldn't find anything. I have a new HP laptop, with Affinity Photo 1.10 installed, and when I try to make a curves adjustment, the image gets distorted as shown in the image below. Any help on why this is happening and what can be done to correct it would be appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GarryP Posted December 30, 2021 Share Posted December 30, 2021 It is often useful, when showing us a problem after something has been done and the result is unexpected, if you give us both the ‘before’ and ‘after’ so we can see what you started with in relation to what you got. Otherwise it’s difficult to understand what’s happened in the transition from one state to another. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don C Posted December 30, 2021 Author Share Posted December 30, 2021 Here is the original photo, before trying to do a curves adjustment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulEC Posted December 30, 2021 Share Posted December 30, 2021 It would probably be easier to tell what is going on if we had the original photo (if possible), rather than a screen grab of it. Does it happen on other photos, or only on this one?

Don C Posted December 30, 2021 Author Share Posted December 30, 2021 It happens on every photo. Weird thing too is it only happens with normal blend mode. Other blend modes like 'Lighten' have no issues. I will attach one of my own original photos that this happens with (the one of the girl was from a lesson I was taking.)

carl123 Posted December 30, 2021 Share Posted December 30, 2021 Try... Go into Edit > Preferences > Performance and switch off Hardware Acceleration if it's on It does some weird stuff sometimes Quote To save time I am currently using an automated AI to reply to some posts on this forum. If any of "my" posts are wrong or appear to be total b*ll*cks they are the ones generated by the AI. If correct they were probably mine. I apologise for any mistakes made by my AI - I'm sure it will improve with time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
