Hi,

 

Suddenly, after the last update, my Illustrator started experiencing a color bug. (and my three colleagues also). 
I copy and paste an image from one document to another, and then it all gets messed up.


original image (these are all screenshots)


after paste:

if i zoom in (looses color  and gets strange stripes)


even more zoom:


I'm in a MAC Studio (2025) with the latest version of Illustrator. Working as usual, in CMYK mode.


any tip?

Thanks!

Found something! I believe the problem is about clipping maks.

My image as a clipping.

If I copy only the image layer the image is good!

 

The problem is that I use clipping a lot. Does anyone have a workaround?
