Banding

[tickledpink4u]

Help!  Why is there banding in my photos?  I've never noticed this problem before however I just built a studio in my home and it's all white.  Could this be the reason?  I print at home using a Canon Pixma Pro 1.  It's less visible on the screen but when I print is is quite visible.  What am I doing wrong?  If it's because of white walls, should I repaint in a different color and if so what color?  Is it something I could have done in post editing?  I'm at a loss.

Thanks for your help,

Hi Wendy,

Banding is a little tricky to diagnose, but stick with me.  I'm going to ask you a series of questions so we can get to the bottom of it.

First, I need you to tell me what screen you have.

(By the way, no, don't repaint.  White is perfect.)

Second, I need to know if you can see banding on the raw files, when you're editing them in your raw program.
