Incorrect preview of document in Finder


Recommended Posts

I have a very simple designer document, currently just one layer, which has a single colour as an overlay.

 

However the preview in Finder shows a block of darker colour.

 

It isn't a huge issue as long as it exports correctly, just a bit worrying. Can anyone help please.

I haven't tried printing anything yet, But I have noticed similar dark blocks in Finder icon view. They have been sporadic. I just looked over a bunch of files, and saw only one w. a bit of discoolration. I assume it is a problem w. how the preview is generated.

Hi Mr Lucky,

 

Would it be possible for you to provide the file that is having this issue? This will allow me to investigate this further for you :)

Here you go

I just noticed this only shows on my main display

I also have an Asus VH222H 21.5 and it doesn't happen

 

In fact if I move thefinder over the the ASUS and back again it has gone, but is visible again if you click on something else in the finder and back again.

FWIW, in Finder views, Get Info windows, & with Quick Look previews, I do not see any darker section in your file on my system (specs below). I noticed you had another issue on your system with AP, & that resetting the app fixed it. Because of that, I wonder if there is something amiss with the OS on your Mac causing this.

 

Have you run Disk Utility's First Aid on your drive? It may be that there is some small problem it can fix that will eliminate these issues for you.

Thanks, yes I ran disk utility and no problems found.

 

The thing is I have only got either of these problems with Affinity Photo (& Designer re: the icon preview block). No other application has had either of these problems.
