![]() ![]() I’ll be honest, I rolled my eyes at the press release. I wouldn’t be shocked if a few of you rolled your eyes. ![]() The other portion of you is probably a bit surprised.

I'm thinking this banding would be minimized in a 16 bit file, but SF won't allo that (it's selection is 16->8bit).Įpson Scan allows a simple 16 bit choice in their popup menu. I haven't had this happen with smaller formats, maybe because grain masks or prevents the banding. The effect is right, but the banding is there anyway, just because the sky has it's own gradation, I guess. When I saw the banding the first time, I reopened the Tiff in Raw, deepened the whole thing, opened a second copy of the file, copied the darker image, and pasted it into the original file as its own layer, applied a gradient mask to that image layer, just to hide the part I don't want to see. I'm working on one with a large sky area which I want to deepen just the sky, doing so with a gradient mask, in PShop, to the sky area only. Open the Tiff in raw, if any other adjustments are needed.
