Hey, @hendy_5450. Welcome to the Photoshop Community. I'll help you figure this out. 

The UI is from Photoshop. How did you create the mask for the layer that has the mule? Does this happen with all layers? 

 

In most cases, you can use the Brush tool & draw with Black, or white and point at the mask layer to hide or reveal part of the image via masking. Please head here to get started with masking workflows: https://adobe.ly/3XuIlnA

 

Let me know how it goes. Thanks!

    The Layer Mask of the Layer »donkey« seems to have been created imprudently in two ways: 

    • Firstly it apparently started with Reveal All instead of Reveal Selection or Hide All, meaning that transformations can result in semi-transparent pixels on the edges. 

    • Secondly the Mask is applied to a Smart Object instead of in the Smart Object, meaning that repeated transformations in the containing document would degrade it.
