Parallel horizontal lines when zoom in pictures

[x-dean]

The bug

When zooming in picures I see drawing horizontal parallel lines. It looks like it is only on photos taken with iphone. (have not done a extensive research on this, but from a few I did check the ones from iphone had this issue.)

I second this only on web.

[j6b72]

I too have this problem. Using Google Chrome on Mac and Linux (GNOME on Wayland).

Could someone provide an actual image that has this issue? Ideally in a zip archive

Hi, please find attached.

I can confirm that only pictures taken using Iphone with live pictures have the issue. Screenshots or other downloaded media do not show this lines.

To add to this.

I have the same problem with pictures taken from a Pixel 8. Without live photo

Using web UI:

[mertalev]

Testing with the sample image, I don't see the issue on Firefox, and if I disable HWA in Chrome, I stop seeing the black lines there too. The black lines only show up at certain zoom levels and the thickness varies. I think this is a Chrome rasterization issue.

[mertalev]

Closing as it looks to be a Chromium issue.

[Delivator]

Can this please be re-opened? This is clearly a bug that can be fixed by immich and it's very annoying!

This is clearly a bug that can be fixed by immich

I didn't get that impression, but if you have ideas on how we could fix this then please share them.

[Delivator]

Could you point me to the code that is responsible for this? Maybe I can try!

I have the same problem with version 1.127.0 (2025-02-27). In Chrome and Edge on Windows 11. Both on a Dell Laptop with Intel graphics video card. FireFox is fine. I don't have it on a desktop with a nvidia graphics card, also Windows 11 system. I hope you can check again and open the case again.

[YarosMallorca]

This happens on photos from Pixel 6 as well. It seems to happen only with HDR photos. Will investigate this soon.

I can reproduce this with the Zoom-Image package. This issue is not with Immich, rather with the package or chromium engine. Raised an issue here: https://github.com/willnguyen1312/zoom-image/issues/338
