I think if you are working for web, this is only working if you have enough information in the image. If you have a very subtle gradient wich only goes trough, let's say 8 shades of grey (very light grey to even lighter grey, but runs in its length over the entire image, the compression algorithms of JPG will crack it down to 8 or even less steps of grey. Especially, when you want the images super light (for web purposes.

Hey, I've watched this video, because I had problems with bandind on dark gray gradient backgroud. none of this worked, and it was RAW file, 16 Bit. I already knew those options, but thought there could be some other way. And that sht I cant' fix only on this background. have no idea, whyyy. :-( I was following and trying everything, but it was getting even worse. And I thougt I'm pretty good at Photoshop! :D

Love your videos, you are a good teacher! I want to correct you though because 16 bit is not double the amount of color from 8 bit, it is actually 256 times more so the difference is really big.

Just to add to this. Some may be having this issue because the monitor they are working on itself has not been set to a high enough bit depth. Do that first lol.

Changing from 8 to 16 bit doesn't mean that you're double the colour depth. --> 8 bit = 256 colour steps, --> 16 bit = 65536 colour steps. So 65546/256 = 256!

I have never had it in photoshop. Only now it appeared suddenly after changing the monitor to a bigger one. Can anyone tell me, this is my graphics card?

Mine BECOMES more banding with what you do. That was strange. I'm in 16 bit, doing the gaussian blur, it becomes more banded.
Any idead?

I was curious if I was using the best approach (for 32bit) and this video confirms. Thanks for this. Also your videos are very engaging.

I also figured out if you are using the brush tool and getting banding just select Noise in the brush settings and that gets rid of it.

and what if the picture is already at 16 bit?
i tried to convert it from 16 to 8 and nothing.
16 to 8 to 16 to 8 again nothing.

I just finished using this method on an image that I created that had BAD banding. It worked like a champ.
Thank you!

Does color mode (CMYK) play a factor in banding? Made a gradient in 16bit and tried Gaussian blur and it added banning

Anyone knows how this is done in After Effects? like for a video when there is a light source and banding occurs.
