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

        Hi ChristinaLearm; welcome aboard.

        Sorry to hear you're also bumping into this little hiccup (as it affects only previewing the file through our website and not the original file, i.e. when you download and open it locally on your devices) and to be honest I'm still waiting for woofwear's email.

        May I reach out to the email address that's connected to your Community's profile so we can investigate with all of my tools at our disposal?

        Hi there Kate (woofwear); how are you today?

        I wish I had an update on this, but as you never got back to my email I wasn't able to escalate your case to an expert for a more in-depth investigation and I can see the ticket I had opened up on your behalf is now closed due to inactivity.

        May I reach out to your Dropbox associated email address again to investigate further?
