Stock image has strange circles on eyes on licensed file

[Matthew Oaks]

I have just downloaded and licensed stock image 100506477

Preview image looks fine but when I download the licensed image the woman in the image has a bunch of small white circles around her eyes.

Any ideas why this has happened?

Hi Matthew,

I have tested the image at my end and opened it in Photoshop application and even the preview has the small circles as the licensed image.

It is a same image which pulls up in the search result. There is no difference in the image. The circles around the eyes that you see are a part of this image.

Regards,

Sheena

Hi Sheena

Many thanks for your reply

When I look at the preview of the image in the browser it doesn't show circles around the eyes

See below.

I would have thought that the licensed image would be the same as the one previewed in the browser without the watermark

Matthew, I too downloaded the preview of the image which did have the circles as the licensed version and even if I closely into the image you posted I can see the same circles around the eyes.

Maybe you can zoom the image and check again.

Hi Matthew,

This is a reflection of the photographer's lights in the model's eyes.
