Hi all!
I have a monitor with 2560x1440 pixel. When I open an image with kuickshow in fullscreen with scale to fit the creen then the image is not always centered and shows artefacts in the supposed-to-black regions of the screen (see screenshot).
Anybody seen this happen before?

I have not seen it in kuickshow (which I use every day), but I have seen something like it in some other applications.
When I create my own background for the TDE login page (on first boot), I must set it for "scale and crop"; otherwise, I get this effect. I think it is, or has something to do with, tiling. (This is found in TCC / Login Manager / Background - English version, but you probably know what I mean.)
Also I have encountered it in an altogether different place, but it is a similar situation. I have a small blog, which has virtually no readers; I use it mostly to post things for my own future reference. But I created a background for it, and despite trying to tweak it with css and using every html trick that I know, I get this same tiling effect.
In both cases, it looks a lot like what I see in your image. Not that this answers your question, but it may help you to find some kind of solution. And I would be interested in solving my own problem with tiling of images, if it can be applied to my own cases.

I don't have a monitor that big but I have three monitors forming a single 4960x1200 desktop so I used kuickshow to scale a 4032x6048 image down to fit the desktop and then up to several sizes peaking at 9112x13668. I did not observe any artifacts.
During this experiment virtual memory used by the kuickshow process was fairly stable but video RAM increased with image size up to about 500MB. Fortunately I have 4GB of video RAM.
Is it possible that you ran out of video RAM?

Most unlikly, I have 4GB. And the artefacts only appear on some images, that need to be upscaled by a factor of just about 1 to ~ 1.5, and they disappear when forcing a redraw with e.g. taking a screenshot.

amd64? Which video driver?

amd64 here but still on Buster nvidia proprietary 418.181.07-1 (switching shortly to 418.197.02-1).
I looked into upgrading my *nvidia* packages to Testing to investigate this but it would be too disruptive at this time.
