It looks blurry... but choppy ?

Do you have 'Adaptive Supersampling' on ?

@zmantooth

https://prnt.sc/ls6vso Is that the actual size 265 x 185 pix? Very small

Do you mean banding showing on the gradient? I just tried a replication of that heart + layermask and no great issues here. Best if you post the original, including all the layers

Is the image color-indexed? (Gif or else)?

Yes, I closed the application multiple times as well and made sure everything was right. I even googled "how to fade out a pic" and followed the steps precisely, but it still does the same thing.

That specific image was originally small but I blew it up, and I tried it on larger images of around 800x800, but it still does the same thing.

I tried it on multiple different images including .png's and .jpg's and it does the same thing.
