MP Dark backgrounds turn bright blue

Post by Orfanomondo »

MP 1.11.5
Windows 11

All of a sudden, all black or very dark backgrounds turn bright blue. This does not appear in thumbnails, but is visible in the preview pane, browser and viewer + full screen. I have not changed any settings, and this does not happen in XnView Classic. Here are two screenshots, first from MP and the second from Classic, the same picture. I changed the background in MP to light, made no difference.

Actually you have. You turned on “Show clipping”.

Press the J key, or whatever shortcut you have it assigned to, to turn it back off. It is also available on the view menu.

Read the “New Features in XnViewMP” documentation thread pinned at the top of this board to learn more.
