b. Please give some details of your file and what you are doing when you see the distorted imag

Hi Dave,

Thanks so much for responding right away!

Yes, I'm using a Mac & that is a PNG image. Mine is 19.1.1 release. I will update my version and hopefully that will fix things.

Best Regards,

Sneha.
