I'm posting a link to a two page PDF, the first page is an image as received from a professional photographer VIA my client, MAC Photoshop CC, as viewed in Photo-PAINT 2017 at 33%. The second is after a little love.
The issue is that the image creator couldn't see the issue and in Photo-PAINT it jumped out and bit you in the face. If the image was printed at 100 DPI on an inkjet some of the blinding white lines would have been over 1/10th of an inch.
Photo-PAINT 2017 has the best display for real image editing.

Hi David,
Let me add:
1. Photopaint X8 is worse than useless. It's torture to even open it up.
2. My big problem with Photoshop is the total lack of an interface -- not even a "standard" toolbar.
3. The grandchildren improved the overall color of your image. They said that the original wall colors were "dinky".
4. It took them seven seconds in Photoshop.Phil
This is the reality of viewing various art files in Photoshop vs Photo-Paint. Photo-Paint is nearly unusable, depending on the kind of art you're viewing, and certainly Photoshop shows how these pieces actually print. The last one with the taxis is halftone dots. As horrible as it looks here, the screen capture actually makes it look a lot better! Obviously, that's Photoshop on the right with the dark background.
