Just upgraded from CS2 to CS3: I always shoot in RAW, then zoom in 100% in RAW converter to check quality. I also work in 16 bit and using CS2 the tonal gradation is brilliant. However the same photo opened with CS3 Bridge shows banding when I zoom in. Same happens when I convert and open the image in Photoshop. Great in CS2, banding appears in CS3.

Anyone else having this problem?

I haven’t seen this, but be sure you check the color settings in CS3 to be sure something strange isn’t happening (such as the wrong working space or color conversion happening when you haven’t been asked for it.)

I remember my color settings were messed up after I upgraded and I needed to go in and set them properly.

Thanks for the reply Christopher. I did check colour settings, but good idea. I’m happy to say I’ve resolved it myself, having wasted 2 days with the Adobe support line.

Figured it had to be something to do with the screen so changed to a higher resolution and that seemed to cure it. Even so, I thought somethings not right. Read the ‘Readme’ notes more carefully and spotted the paragraph about updating my graphics card driver. I did this and now seems to be working fine.

"changed to a higher resolution"

If you’re running an LCD monitor, it is strongly recommended that it’s set to its native resolution.

Thanks for the links, ‘Phos’. I changed the monitor resolution back to the normal 1024 x 768 and all is working fine. Y E A H !
