Photoshop :: CC Gradient Banding
Nov 6, 2013I recently started noticing very bad gradient banding when using the gradient tool. It's specifically bad when using darker colors. I also noticed when using the blur filter I get banding with dark colors also. I am working on 16 bit document.

Photoshop :: Creating A Smooth Gradient Without Banding
Sep 21, 2006I shot a TV set and we decided to add a white to transparent gradient on the otherwise black TV screen to create depth for shaping.
What I did was create a circular gradient in the top left corner of the TV set. It has been set to go from White to Transparent. Then I reduced the opacity to around 40% to make it seem more realistic. The problem is that there are very visible bands from where it starts to where it fades out. These are visible from 100% opacity and downwards. I want the transitions to be smooth smooth smooth My Layer Blend mode is set to normal Will changing the blend mode help? I did try to use different blend modes and nothing changed.
I'm Using CS2 9.0.2 on Powerbook with Cinema Display
After Effects :: Remove Banding From Gradient Light
Sep 24, 2013How the heck can I remove banding from light gradient? I watched over 100 tutorials about this and yet not a single one works for my case! I have a light set in dark red color over a solid layer. That creates a color gradient. But it's so blocky that messes up the whole video.
My color depth is 32 bpc.
I tried adding noise 5-10% (result:nothing)
I added some boxing blur (result:nothing)
In preview color seems (not sure about that) to be ok but when saving it into mp4 then Ι get everything messed up.
My output options:
H.264
24 frames
profile: high
level:4
bitrate settings:vbr,1pass
I don't know what to do!! I want a smooth gradient light on the solid layer without all this blocky look! why is it so difficult to have?!
Illustrator :: 3D Text - Gradients Are Rasterized And Causes Color Banding
Jan 9, 2013I have applied a 3D>Extrude and Bevel on my text. Now problem is that when doing it, my border(part that is extruded) causes a color banding, since it rasterizes the gradients. See my image below.
How do I take away those nasty lines?
Illustrator :: Drag Global Color Swatches From Color Panel To Gradient Stops In Gradient Panel
Aug 28, 2012I have CS5. The bugs and broken features in AICS6, make it unusable in my workflow.
I am specifically concerned about the inability to drag global color swatches from the color panel to Gradient stops in the Gradient Panel. I use this method to update a gradient color because I find it MUCH faster than option-dragging to duplicate a stop color, then deleting the unused stop. Since I do this constantly, I find using CS6 very tedious.

Jun 5, 2012I have opened several recent AI's from CS5.1 which included gradient fills. When CS6 opens them, the gradient fills turn up as embedded rasterized images.

Mar 19, 2013I've encountered a problem when using simple gradients in Illustrator CS6 v v16.0 on the Creative Cloud. My gradients are not smooth, you can see vertical/horizontal delineations in color when in linear mode, and circular delineations when in radial mode. This seemed strange to me since this is vector based. The attached picture is an example of this problem, it's 18x24 at 300dpi. It also persists when I export/save the image. This problem is also present in Photoshop.

Nov 1, 2013i'm in illustrator cs3, and even tho my stops in my gradeint are true black (it even shows true black on the stops), in the gradient itself, it's that horrible cmyk grey.

View 2 Replies View RelatedIllustrator :: UI Of Gradient Gets Much Larger
May 6, 2013I've used the Gradient Tool many, many times and I just now noticed this. I don't know if it's supposed to do this or not but I don't ever remember this happening before. As you can see when I use the linear setting and I change the angle to anything other than 0, the UI of the gradient gets much larger. This makes it difficult to edit especially when the angle is set to something like 45 degrees. The sliders are almost unreachable.

View 3 Replies View RelatedPhotoshop :: Illustrator Gradient Problem
Aug 26, 2005The logo is 2 objects which overlap at 2 points. The trick is that I want point A on object A to be on top of object B and point B on object B to be on top of object A. For the visual ones of us; make a Vulcan sign out of both hands, place the V's together so that the vertexes touch and then place both your palms flat. Your index and middle finger will be on top and also your pinky and ring finger of the other hand will be on top.
I can get this to work by making a 3rd layer (cutting the fingers off one hand) and placing them directly, but the objects are filled with a gradient and I cannot get the gradient of the hand to match correctly with the severed fingers. Compound paths will let me accomplish the correct gradient, but it screws up the layers.
Is there any way to have 2 objects on two different layers have the same (flowing, uninterupted) gradient? Unfortunately, a "close" color match isn't enough as when printed out, it's very obvious.
Illustrator :: Why Gradient Transparency Not Printing Right
Mar 25, 2013When printing a vector illustration in PDF format, my gradients that fade to 0% over a surface aren't coming out right. The gradient appears like a box with a hard edge, rather than fading away. It looks like this when viewing the file , but when printed I am getting this . (don't mind the color, it is a bad quality photo)
I am using an HP z5200 postscript printer.

Illustrator :: How To Get Gradient Annotator To Show Up
Dec 10, 2013I can't get the Gradient Annotator to show up. I select a shape w/a gradient, hit "G" nothing! I check under view and select "Show Gradient Annotator" nothing! I can use the gradient tool and pull a gradient and the annotator shows up during the action, but then dissappears when I'm done. Sometimes I can get it to show up if I back my view all the way out so I can see my entire artboard, but then when I zoomin closer it dissappears again. How can I get the Annotator to always show up when I use the tool. ( Mac-OS-10.8.5, Ai-CS 6)
