I am working on a low key image right now. The idea was to cut her out and put some natural almost black background in. But it doesn't seem to be working at all. I guess it's called banding, but how can I gently brush in with a low opacity or use the gradient tool without this horrible effect?

Also, does anyone have any suggestions on what else I could do with the background?
But I'm also a bit worried that if it is printed or uploaded to facebook etc it might also have problems with the near black.
Any opinions are very welcome![Smile :) :)](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
