I'm getting unwanted Moire I've never seen before in PS. [2018]

I have a Canon 5D Mk iii. I have never had any moire in the past 3 years I've had this camera.  I have always used LR and PS together.  I work on a Mac computer.  Yesterday, I uploaded photos and they are fine in Lightroom but as soon as I import them over into Photoshop I get Moire all over the picture including the face and hair.  I updated PS hoping that would help.  But today I uploaded new pictures and they also have Moire.  I had my camera checked and cleaned one week ago by Canon and the first set of pics I uploaded after that was fine as usual.  So I do not feel it is the camera.  Insterestingly, when I save the pic it to jpeg and open it on my mac as an image it does not have the moire, however when I upload that same jpeg to a Shootproof gallery it does have the Moire.  Please help.  I need to figure this out asap.


Thank you, Leslie

Correct answer leslieg19624373
So there is no Moire at this view

But there is, look left of the collar.

You should try addressing it in ACR with an Adjustment Brush.


So I covered all my basis on this. I spoke with Apple, (not the Mac), called Canon, (not the camera) called Adobe yesterday for an hour. Said it was an optical illusion. I knew that this was not the case as it was also in the hair. I called them again today and went through to upper manager as I was not convinced still even though they kept telling me the same thing. After 1 hr 45 mins they finally figured out it is something with the new update. So we uninstalled and reinstalled an older version. Bam!! Works just fine!

Thanks so much it's  happening to me too since last night. I am goig crazy... I'll unistall and reinstall and see if that changes anything. Do you know if we keep our previous edits when we untinstall and reinstall?

While the image is open in Photoshop, does the Moire change if you zoom in? Does the Moire disappear zoomed in to 100%?

Ah, good. That would indicate that your camera/the file itself is not the culprit, but your display. Your monitor pixels are of a certain number and size. When patterns don’t line up with the pixels, the patterns become distorted. If you’d like, adding a small amount of blur to the pattern(s) can reduce or eliminate much of the moire you are seeing.
