Why Do I Get Color Banding When Using Color Dodge and a Dark Colored Gradient?

The banding is due to the very low number of steps available to create the gradient and the very few colors available. At best, each color in RGB is limited to 256 steps (8 bits per channel = 2^8 steps per color) which is nearly always visible. ( see the examples in this thread for instance: How to produce a blurred abstract (frosted glass) background like this? )In your particular case, increasing the number of levels to choose from by using 16 or 32 bits per channel, will afford you more on the order of 2^16 possible steps. [EDIT: image menu->mode->16 bits per channel]You will need to export this to 8bpc RGB (since many applications do not support anything other than 8bit). Some filters and blend modes may not support 16- and 32-bit per channel modes and will not be available for use

1. is the realize banding surgery safe?

Whoever said that lap band is only for those who are morbidly obese and about to die is WRONG. 100% wrong. You can not really have the lap band at that weight or condition. You have to be able to get up and move, get up and exercise in order to even be slightly successful with the band. I hate when people respond to questions they know NOTHING about just to be able to say they answered a question. STICK TO SUBJECTS YOU ARE KNOWLEDGABLE ABOUT. Risks: band can slip, erosion, port can come dislodged, tubing can bust, port can flip Effectiveness of the surgery is up to the person. Just exercise and diet like you normally would if you were on a program and you will be successful. The band will help you with portion control. The whole thing is VERY emotional. Good luck to you

2. why is the wwe banding everything?

they are just trying to get kids to watch more and parent of kids who do not like it to feel safer about letting their kids watch it I think it's retarded but they always want move money whether it's buying ppv's or merch

3. Any new/fresh ideas for mane braiding/banding?

I've tried a few funny things with manes... Divide the mane as you would to make each division a plait, but instead tie them into "pigtails". Tie the first (top) two together (with another band) and keep going tying every next two. When you are done, tie the top two together again and then the next two and so on. Do as many layers as you like. It should end up looking like a fishnet. EDIT: Oops, I just realised someone posted a picture of this. My bad!

4. Do you agree with lap banding?

Any medically approved option is better than having an unchecked obese body, as obesity will lead to many medical problems and sometimes death

5. Can you believe that some high schools in the usa are banding students from wearing anything with the american

The people who make these decisions for these school districts have earned a ticket to Guantanmo Bay Cuba for their hatred of America

6. Are Muslim nations banding together to send aid to the Philippines?

yes, they do where there are fellow muslims in need and it would be a big propaganda coup if they beat the usa in terms of aid and response. so the usa had better get its butt moving on this

7. Oops, my shutter speed was too fast. How do I fix this light banding?

You can fix it almost perfectly by using the gradient tool and the divide blend modes.EDIT: For the cleanest results, I switched to 16-bit colour mode before performing the following steps.1) Fill in a thin strip of background with the "ideal" background (I used the gradient tool with the colour picker to get an approximation of the yellowish tones in the background) and stretch it across the whole image, then set it to divide blend mode. This will put the banding artefacts on a white background.2) Select the same thin strip of image, CtrlShiftC (Copy Merged), hide the banding/divide layer.3) Paste the thin banding strip (CtrlV), hit the "/" key (lock transparency), gaussian blur 20px, then stretch the band over the whole image using CtrlT (transform). Now your whole image looks like just the banding alone.4) Set that layer to divide blend mode. Voila, banding effect is "divided out" of the original
