Note
Archived discussion. This page is a verbatim copy of a thread from
community.ansel.photos, the Ansel community forum, which ran from March 2023
until it was taken offline in June 2025 after the site was compromised — a counterfeit
site had been planted inside the forum software, so the whole thing had to come down.
The original address was https://community.ansel.photos/view-discussion/residual-image-when-drag-and-drop.
No crawler ever captured this particular thread, so the text below — taken straight from the forum database — is the only copy left.
Answers may refer to older versions of Ansel, and image attachments did not survive the shutdown. Current discussion happens on GitHub Discussions .

Zooming the image in the central view of the darkroom and dragging it causes a ‘phantom’ residual image.
See the attached image. You can clearly see the residual image on the left arm of the woman, but also on her face.
I compile Ansel from git (this version is 8e3cfc8a0) on a Linux Suse Tumbleweed.
I have changed my graphic card a couple of weeks ago fitting a powerful nvidia GeForce RTX 3050
Thank you!
