Photo 2.1 - Banding in JXL images

[Alex_M]

Hi. I'm seeing color banding when I view JXL images in Affinity Photo 2.1. This isn't the case when viewing the images in XnView MP. Please check the screenshot below. Notice the banding in the wooden planks and how there's none in XnView MP (on the right). Original JXL file is also attached.

Hey @Alex_M,

This looks like an incredibly similar banding issue to what you've reported previously in the thread below, which as mentioned by Lee is currently logged with the developers. how was the image exported to JPEGXL originally? Was this via XNView or a different encoder? I'll add any additional details to the existing report.

Hi, @NathanC and sorry for the late reply. The JPEGXL image was exported through XNView.

Hello. Any update on this issue? I'm still seeing banding in JXL images loaded in Affinity Photo. Again, it's only Affinity Photo that shows the banding. XNView doesn't show any.

Hi @Alex_M,

There aren't any updates at the moment I'm afraid, I've tagged this thread with the logged issue so if there are any further updates the thread will be updated automatically.

This problem is still present in version 2.5.5.
