Q2 pics showing dots or prick marks when HDR filter value increased

I get dots/ prick marks on my picture in the dark area once increase HDR filter using Snapseed. Increase in dots location and numbers is consistent but locations vary from picture to picture. Two pics are attached to show consistency in appearance in dots or prick marks. Thanks in advance for the help.

Unless you are shooting through a plastic sheet, I suggest this is an artefact of Snapseed. Are these JPGs? You will get better images when editing raw files in a mainstream app such as Lightroom or Capture One. Otherwise it's like buying a Ferrari and driving it just in your front yard.

Edit. I see you posted about using Snapseed back in 2022. I strongly advise you to look into more sophisticated editing software that will match the quality of  your camera.

Thanks for valuable info. It was raw format. I will try capture one for the editing.

I can also highly recommend DXO's PhotoLab for RAW editing.

Thanks. I was worried that there was problem with q2 but seems that it’s  editor related issue. Thanks for the response.
