Green Zig Zag display on desktop images and online.

Hey, I am getting these green zig zag patterns on random photo files.

The thumbnails have these lines on them and when I open the file and the zig zag lines are still present.

When I use google image search some of the images will also have these green zig zag lines as well so it is not isolated to images that are just on my desktop.

I have only noticed these green lines since updating to MacOs Big Sur.

Attached an image of how it appears.

Thanks

Hi there AngryApple,

From what we can tell, you're seeing green blocks on some of the images on your Mac. We're glad you've joined us in Apple Support Communities, and we can provide some guidance.

To start, is this happening with photos in Shared Albums only? If so, it's possible that the file type isn't compatible. Have a look at the 'File types that you can use in Shared Albums' section of this support article to learn more:
