I have this problem with each OS update. I can see it in Photos and when I try to send images in Mail. Something it is a zigzag diagonal across the image. Other times it is a black or green rectangle in the image. At times, I can edit the image again in Photos and then export and fix it. It seems to happen when I am editing lots of high resolution images.

Raised with Apple Support allocated Case Id 101420288005. Boot in "Safe Boot" and the problem does not show. Removed EOS Utility and SpyderUtility as Login Items as advised by Apple. This does not correct the problem either. Telephone call with Apple Support technician and they advised raising with BBC News website, as this appears the major user of this HTML feature which Safari/NVIDIA GPU are unable to process correctly.


I've noticed it on Google Images too. So I am going to provide further information to Apple.

I have that same jagged green line and sometimes a large black rectangle on exported JPGs. Sometimes they show on import and sometimes they only show once I put them into an email. Other times I reimport and get a clean image. I had 3 out of a batch of 55 images have this problem. I have had it off on for years. It always seems to be with RAW images. I thought it had to do with a full Photo Library, but even after clearing the library, this problem happens. If I shoot JPGs instead of RAW, I don't see the problem. Repairing the library doesn't help. I have macOS Catalina.

As a Professional Photographer this is unacceptable. I just upgraded to macOS Big Sur version 11.6.5 (20G527) and using Safari Version 15.4 (16613.1.17.1.13, 16613). Checked for updates and I have the latest.


MacBook Pro (Retina, 15-inch, Late 2013)

Thunderbolt Monitor Purchased with my MacBook Pro in 2014.


Using my Thunderbolt Monitor, here is the photo as shown in Google Photos. Note: NO GREEN BOXES



When I choose the first photo on the first row still using my Thunderbolt Monitor in full view from Google Photos using Safari I see the following. BUT it is not all photos. Why?



When I down the image to my mac and open it in Preview using my Thunderbolt Monitor it does not show the green boxes. See screenshot below in Preview:


When not using my Thunderbolt monitor and just my macBook Pro, the GREEN BOXES are gone.


This was not this way before I upgraded and frustrating as I use the Thunderbolt Monitor to edit my photographs.


Please advise.


Thanks,

Like others below, I upgraded to Big Sur and the green rectangles appear across the BBC images. I am using a MacBook Pro late 2013 and updated to Big Sur on Friday last week (5th March) I am regretting doing so as the time it has taken to sort where files went and so on, has been large.

(Nearest Apple shop is 160miles from here, or 320 round trip!)

Glad I found this thread because it's been driving me mad!!! MacBook Pro (Retina 15-inch late 2013) running Big Sur 11.5.2.


Happens on pretty much all websites and appears worse when the system is under load. Definitely not a problem with the websites as they work fine on all other browsers, just Safari shows up the issue.


Really annoying, mainly happens on random images on Amazon.co.uk.


Never happened before Big Sur, would downgrade if it was easy ....
