This question mostly to XDR display owners.

Have you guys experienced blue background artifacts on Apple Display (P3-500 nits) preset in the Apple Photos app?

I was testing presets and playing around to find the best preset for me and found that weird behaviour. I'm running a base MBP 16" model with i7 CPU and 5300 GPU.

To replicate:
  1. Change preset to P3-500 nits.
  2. Add photos to the Apple Photos app if you don't have it. I got a bunch of non-HDR and some HDR photos.
  3. Try to scroll through photos using left or right arrow buttons.
It looks to me that P3-500 preset has some troubles switching HDR and non-HDR content quickly and it throws such blue artifacts on bright (white) spots.

Also, after doing such photos scrolling I found that the screenshot border became blue, while it should be white. I attached 2 photos with the correct and incorrect screenshot border.

P.S. I cannot reproduce such behaviour on P3-1600, but still there is a minor, almost unnoticeable blue glare when scrolling non-stop.

Yesterday I updated my system to 10.15.5, can't reproduce this problem anymore, and also I've tested your sample in Photo App. Looks like the issue is fixed in the new update

Yes, I can confirm that this issue was fixed in 10.15.5.

Thank you for testing.
