Ok, check when you get onto your computer tomorrow, and let me know.

[VitaZorge]

Sure,now back to sleep .

[VitaZorge]

I shouldn't post while sleeping.The above was SOOC  and this is SOOR. Not a lot different,just few adjustments.But yes i can see a tiny bit of banding in it:( What causes that?Blanket by itself is ribbed.

[Damien Symonds]

It is pretty much impossible to have banding in a raw file.  If you're seeing banding in a raw file, it means your screen is imperfect.

I see "Mac laptop" listed in your details.  Is that the screen you're viewing on?

[VitaZorge]

Yes.Its been calibrated,but should maybe do again?

[VitaZorge]

Or maybe its illusional banding because of natural vignette in my raw file and my eyes goes crazy??I am worried that printing out the edited one it will appear there.Do you see banding in my raw file?

No I don't.  That's why I'm worried that your screen is poor quality (as laptop screens often are).

Actually, calibration can make the problem worse, ironically.  But only in cases where the screen isn't great to begin with.

Anyway, I'm sure your SOOR is ok.

So may I see a screenshot showing your layers panel of your edit?

my macbook is couple of years old actually.And its for all family use(children play on it too)I Should save up pennies probably.

 

 

[VitaZorge]

hmm I'm sure i masked off her of noise.Maybe i forgot to save that after in psd.Oops.

[Damien Symonds]

Ok, so if you turn all those layers off, then turn them one again one at a time from the bottom up, is there one (or more than one) which is an obvious culprit for the banding?

[VitaZorge]

Thanks,Will try that in the morning.Super tired mama here?

Its curves layer  and layer where i cloned,cleaned up blanket.

[Damien Symonds]

Is that "Layer 2"?

[VitaZorge]

yes Damien.

[Damien Symonds]

Gosh, this is so difficult.  I'm struggling.

What does the Curves layer do?  How many points on the curve?
