I’ve just sprouted a very annoying problem with Photoshop CS (running on Windows 2000).
When I use the gradient tool I get banding. Simple enough, but the problem exists exclusively in Photoshop. I’m running in 32-bit colour (GeForce gfx card). When I switch to ImageReady there is no banding. When I save to web and get the previews, it’s fine (including the original).
It is only the workspace of Photoshop which has this banding.
I have tried altering my colour profile, and even disabling them – but this doesn’t improve anything (although some profiles make it worse). I have tried deleting my settings file to see if it was an odd side effect of something, but no.
I’m really stuck on this one. I could happily blame something else if it happened on everything, but as it’s only on files open in Photoshop it’s got me very confused.
A saved file (which appears fine in the save preview, or any other application) will look wrong in Photoshop once reopened.
Does anybody have any suggestions to solve this?
Thanks,
Alastair.
