donato970 Posted May 6 Share Posted May 6 Hi, I also had the same problem. As you advised, I disabled hardware in the assistant settings and the image now displays correctly without artifacts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff MEB Posted May 13 Staff Share Posted May 13 Hi @donato970, Welcome to Affinity Forums The artifacts issue is now fixed in Photo 2.5 Beta (with hardware acceleration turned ON). You can join the Beta program if you wish to check/test if all works fine for you with hardware acceleration ON now, or just wait for the official release later. Thanks for your feedback.
