hi all,
have worked on a landscape image with a lot of sky. using a series of layers with masks I intensified the sky from the flat dull lazy light blue to somthing a lot darker, grading from light to dark. End result is showing banding across the sky, which looks to be associated with the various layers and masks (the masks were worked with the eraser tool set with a high feather rating and various opacities...). I thought (or hoped) that it may ponly be my very stanard monitor, and so proceeded with a decent sized print as a test - and hey presto, great print with obvious banding. I've used the layer/masking technique numerous times, without the banding occurring before, and am at a loss as to why....
I'm using windows 7 64 bit, CS4 64 bit.
any help or advice greatly appreciated.....
