After updating macOS from 15.3.2 to 15.4, images in Vectorworks 2025 with Full Color with Alpha (32bpp) that previously displayed correctly now appear fully black when using macOS Dark Mode and grey in Light Mode. Any ideas or tipps? Is a changelist for macOS 15.4 available? Or does anyone know what has been changed in this area of macOS?
FWIW, sounds like it's related to a RAW image file bug introduced with Sequoia 15.4. Hopefully to be fixed in the next Sequoia update.
Wouldn't hurt to send Apple a bug report from the feedback page.

Used to, this discussion forum was strictly a user-to-user technical support forum.
But recently, Apple changed its policy and now explicitly says that it may contact users about issues they report here. So go to your profile preferences and make sure that "Contact about your issue" is checked.
I can't guarantee that Apple will contact you, but maybe you'll get lucky. Good luck!

Can you open them in any other tool such as Apple Preview? How do they look there?

What kind of images are these? Can you open them in any other tool such as Apple Preview? How do they look there?

Ok, I didn't know that. Thanks for the tip!
