Are these pictures keepers, or are they taken just to provoke the striping?
In any case, striping is pretty easy to smooth out - and we know that:
- The stripes are real
- They might be seen in backlit scenes, in areas with strong flare
- Where to look in a picture to find stripes
- That they are rare, and pretty easy to smooth out at post processing
- There is a online tool that does the fix too (prof Hank)
Agreed. Virtually all these photos are for sake of provoking the issue, and most those highly flared photos against strong backlit are no worth to save. I guess nobody shoot most photos in such style at daily basis.
Here's what I would call a good photo, not pushed very hard, made with an a9 that exhibits striping:

I don't see striping lines on the full-size photo that I downloaded and viewing in actual size
I do. Clearly.
I will check tonight on my iMack 5K. I truly don't see on my office monitors which so-so HP monitors. But in the past mostly times when I view at 1:1 in Lilyview, a retina-aware JPEG viewer in my iMac 5K, I simply don't see those striping lines clearly and obviously as if I view them at 2:1 in Chrome browse (that is not retina-aware), or as some of those claimed, so that is disparity between.
I have no idea what the apps you've listed do to display an image. I see it on a beaten-up late 2011 MacBookPro8,3 17" that we use to control an optical bench, in Preview, plain and simple and ugly.
You don't know LilyView
It is offtopic.
, a very poplar lite version of retina-aware JPEG viewer among Mac owners? It faithfully displays photos at 1:1 by default.
Since I have used LilyView in last several years and set to default JPEG viewer, so I have not pay attention to heavy and not-that-friendly OS X built-in Preview that was not retina-aware in the past, so ended you viewing photos in 2:1 enlargement.
Nice sales pitch. Offtopic.
Search if you don't understand what is retina-aware programs
Save your breath. Offtopic.
Come'on that LilyView is highly recommended in Mac community and pretty cheap $3~4 dollar contribution share.
Another sales pitch and offtopic.
Not, just help you to understand what is retina-aware.
You are so soi-disant :-D Don't bring owls to Athens. And offtopic.
You are trying to escape this issue, either you're so stubborn and lacking of knowledge, or still deliberately trying to mislead, or both likely.
If you don't I feel sorry for you as your opinion will simply cheated.
Delicious word salad. And offtopic.
You are cheating, OK that I can tell.
I don't care for the applications that don't show the image problems that are there in the image.
You must care
You must be joking. You just demonstrated that the application you are advertising doesn't allow to see what is there in the image.
It only making sure you view photos at 1:1, the same as in Lr that is also retina-aware if you don't know. As I said it's pathetic and cheating to view photos at 2:1, 3:1 in order to see artifacts, really we have to do that way?
. If you view photos in a non-retina-aware viewer in Mac OS retina screen,
Is late 2011 MacBookPro8,3 17" retina?
Your machine has retina screen, but your viewer may not such as Preview. On retina Mac machines, by default they only configure screen resolution at half size such as on my iMac 5K which is 5120x2880 pixels, but Mac OS only set at 2560x1440. Why? Because otherwise text, fonts and screen bars etc are way too small to see clearly. Unlike Windows OS that there is another customization that can show text/fonts at 100% (default), 150%, 200%, 300% etc, Mac OS doesn't have that flexibility. So Apple asks developers to develop retina-aware programs, but most programs still not such as Chrome and likely Apple's own Preview (at least in the past).
What is retina-aware program - it will display bar, menu, font, text on the frame at display configured resolution, half in a retina-screen so they will be too small, but display content inside the frame at true 1:1 retina max resolution, exactly as LR itself.
you are viewing at 2:1. That Preview program may not retina-aware, so your view is disillusion. Do we have to view pictures in 2:1 except for comparison?
"Preview program may not retina-aware" You don't know what you are talking about. You are in need of enlightenment, not me.
Things that are there, if you don't see them - your problem.
But if you have to see at 200% view or 2:1 that is delusional or 'pathetic' (not to you but in that tacit).
Listen, nobody denied that issue doesn't exist, as theoretically also existed in my A7r III/II but just how a big deal? So far I have not encountered once as it's not my style to shoot into sun or strong back light.
I can see you don't own Sony and you don't list any details in your profile. I can see you have more interests in trolling or purposely trying to mislead than actually debate on merits. Don't understand why this minor issue touched so many non-Sony owners' nerve by trying so hard to undermine otherwise a wonderful camera, insecure?
