I would recommend posting an example, never hurts and solves a lot of communication issues.
That is strange. It looks a little like the clipping display you get when you move the white or black Levels sliders while holding down the Alt key. But how that could get combined with the image, or if it’s even related, I haven’t a clue.
memory or hard drive corruption?
Does it display that way when using an external image viewer? That is to say, outside of PS?
I recently had exactly the same. I had an image with an adjustment layer (colour balance) and it was not right above the layer it was supposed to adjust, but somewhere else in the stack.
I moved it, and it was ok…
One particular thing that gave me a headache was that when using the manual blur tool on them seemed to just move those magenta pixels around, in stead of blurring them.
Also check for unintended blending modes.

isn’t there a show out of gammut warning option somewhere? (not at my copy of ps so i can’t check)
Not in your copy? Your shortcuts do work I presume Dave? 🙂
AT not in. reread my post, then go get a coke. you need some caffine! 🙂
Gamut warning is only one color…unless that’s changed in Photoshop 8.
you need some caffine
No… I have to get up 6 hours from now, so better be off. tomorrow I’ll check out this thread. I’m very curious where it leads us.

how about this:

If you zoom in and they go away, it’s probably the video card.
If you zoom in and out and they change, it’s probably bad RAM.
If the image looks fine, you save it, then reload it and it’s corrupted – then it’s probably the hard disk.
‘Job Dave on keeping the reference. I remember that conversation.
I woulda posted it earlier, but my ps tips file is at home. took me a while to find it in a search here. sure hope that’s not it.
Thanks DS, no not holding down the ALT key just basic level ajustments. Robin
Zoom In – They don’t go away
Zoom In and Out- They don’t change
We did save one of these earlier and it loads fine but still has the bad pixels. The HD is not acting like it is in bad shape. All of the images load, make tweaks, save and then re-load just fine.
I am stumped!
Thanks though.
Robin
If I save it that way it will display that way in Ifran View or IE. If I don’t save it that way the images display fine in any other program. It only occurs when I am adjusting the levels in PS and if I save them from PS that way theu retain those funky pixels.
Robin
Nope, no Gamut warnings…that is what I thought it might be at first. Also, there are no other layers. Just tweaking a single layer image. Thanks…any more ideas out there?
Robin
The HD is not acting like it is in bad shape.
could be a controller card, loose cable or an actual hard drive problem.
BINGO!!! I just switched my primary scratch disk to a different drive and it has disappeared! I guess there are some bad sectors in that drive or something.
Thanks for all of the help!
Robin
Geeze Dave. You’re amazing (but you knew that!). I would have never suspected the controller/drive.
<golf clap>
I cant add anything helpful about this. Just want to say I had this same problem occur for a few days a couple of months ago. It apparently cleared up by its self. Possibly I reset preferences and that cleared it up. I had forgotten about it until now. I always use my second drive as scratch disk, so in my case that doesnt apply.
I guess there are some bad sectors in that drive or something.
reread post #19… could be a few things.
I’ve recently experienced exactly the same problem with images from a Nikon D70. It occurred in cloud/sky areas of images when trying to increase contrast with levels. It appears to be at the interface of maximum white pixels with pixels of lower value.
