So no upgrades and no setting changes. Interestingly, in the eight or so ST shots I compiled that weekend with this camera, this is the only one that had this issue. And I used the same lens for other shots, too. What's weird is that the pattern worsens with the number of layers, but it's present even with just two overlapping layers.
Originally posted by mikeSF I've had this before which had something to do with my blend layers not being at 100% opacity
I'll check and see if I inadvertently nudged the blending percentage. I can say that duplicating the flattened image intensifies the pattern, except on some blending modes like Overlay where I completely lose the pattern because I lose most of the image data. I'm just not sure why it's only happening with this image and why it's over the entire image. (Especially since this is my favorite of all the shots I took this weekend.)
Thank you both for your insight. I'll play around with it some more this weekend and see if anything improves.
