TreeFitty 2631 Report post Posted January 2, 2013 Is photoshop trying to make a low-bit image? I think that's a "mode" setting. First thing I would check with such a bad case of banding. If not that then dithering would be next to check. I know photoshop can simplfy the color palette to be HTML friendly but that would go back to the bit size as far as I know.

DuPz0r 5361 Report post Posted January 2, 2013 Yeah fitty is right. This is called gradient banding. You look like you're in a very low bit mode. For the smoothest possibles gradient you need a high bit. depending on your monitor and the file extensions you save the image out, the quality of the gradient could differ. Try making a 32bit image and redraw your gradient, and aave it as either a TGA (targa), BMP or PNG for best quality. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
narcolepsy 581 Report post Posted January 2, 2013 Does CS5 come with a different bit mode from CS4 then? I used CS4, never pissed around with the bit mode and gradients were always smooth. Uhhh... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
