Mr Lucky Posted September 17, 2016 Share Posted September 17, 2016 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.

gdenby Posted September 17, 2016 Share Posted September 17, 2016 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.

R C-R Posted September 18, 2016 Share Posted September 18, 2016 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
