3200 ISO is pretty high. Does it happen on lower ISO images? What happens if you apply a small amount of noise reduction?

I have images with the ISO at 6400 from last year shot on the same camera with no crosshatching over the image. I don't think thats the problem. And nothing. crosshatching is still there after exporting

Can you share the originals, one at 6400 without crosshatching and one without? It would be interesting to take a look at them in their raw format.

I’m wondering if it is excessive noise in the image. Share one of the images and we might be able to tell.

Hi Gregt,

Sorry that you exports from Lightroom have a unexpected effect.

However, as JohanElzenga has mentioned, we'd need a screenshot of your export so that we can better relate to the issue, Also more details would be helpful for us to provide you precise and quick resolution:

  • Which version of Lightroom are you using?
  • Provide us a screenshot illustrating the issue.
  • Which operating system are you using?
  • What is the file type/format and which format are you exporting the file as?

Thanks,

And i using Lightroom CC 8.2.1

Operating system is macOS

file type is a RAW photo (.CR2) and exporting it into a .jpeg

I've been exporting the same for years now and this just started happening not too long ago. Multiple people online have occurred this issue but yet to find a solution. Any help to fix this problem is greatly appreciated.

Thank you!

Ive been exporting the same for years and out of nowhere this started happening. Doesn't happen to all pictures but a lot of them are effected like this. I've looked online and this has happened to quite a few people but all of them with no solid answers why. This has been bugging me for some time now and I don't know what to do

What is the camera settings for this image, specifically the ISO? Does this happen on images taken during the day with bright light? What does the image look like when you zoom in close in Lightroom? Can you see the pattern before it is exported? What are your sharpening and noise reduction settings.
