Problem with display of viewer or split view: I am getting small white boxes (similar to those seen in the browser) superimposed on my photos. Any ideas how to fix? It must be a display problem in the software.

A:

Do you have "Show Focus Points" enabled in the View menu? Then you may be seeing small white boxes overlaid on the image in the viewer.

You can toggle the focus points on and off with ⌥F .
