Hi,

Thanks for your reply. I have tried clearing the browser's cache and the incognito window and it still looks the same. I have attached a screenshot for you. Not all the files I uploaded look wrong just a handful of the files. I can't try it on a new browser today because I need the admin password from my boss to download it and he is currently on holiday.

Thanks Kate

I see, thanks for the screenshots and the additional information Kate - it's much appreciated. 

As I'd love to have a further look into this, can you send me a shared link to one of the files that's showing this behavior so I can test it out on my end? 

Thanks!

      Thanks for the example link woofwear! 

      I think this might be caused by the file's resolution (what device did you take these photos on?) but to be able to get a more concrete view of the matter at hand, I'd like to bring this under the attention of our experts.

      Would you mind if I used the email address that's connected to your Community's profile to reach out so we can work on this internally? 

      Let me know here when you get the chance and we'll take it from there.

      Great job by the way :grin:

        Hi, I took the photos on a canon camera and edited them in photoshop. Yes, please go ahead using that email. 

        Many Thanks
