Hmm, I still see the banding on my cell phone in that pic. My screen isn't calibrated yet. But it's on the way! Just ordered it a couple days ago. I think I may have figured out an okay answer. I went into the brush presets and added noise and smoothing to just the soft brush. I also changed acr to edit in 16bit. I was editing in 8, which is what I've always edited in. The 16bit seemed to tone it down a bit. Thank you for taking a look though!

So, just got a new iMac yesterday. Super excited as mine was just about 10 years old. I'm editing a session and my soft brush has this terrible banding when I go to paint any colors or even use it in an adjustment layer. This is my first time using CC and also a new iMac. Everything I'm trying to find about how to fix it online says that it just looks like I'm screwed or add noise. I don't want to add noise to my images (I'm a newborn photographer, I don't like noise) and don't feel like I should have to. I can't find any answers on how to fix this brush banding issue. This is not okay and I'm not seeing how to fix it. Super sad here. Has anyone else had this issue? Please help!
