Bad gradients(not smooth)

Hello everyone.
I am using a Unibody MBP 2.4
Everything seems fine and I had no issues with it - or the screen.
But today I noticed a weird thing about the screen. I created a radial gradient on Photoshop, and it seems really bad. Circular lines appear inside the radial gradient, which makes it look not smooth.
It's like it's missing some colors (If you create a radial gradient then go to System Preferences - Display Settings and use Thousands colors instead of Millions then look at the gradient again you will notice what I am talking about).
I also tried several calibrated profiles but none seem to have solved the problem.
Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance.

Hello, I have a similar problem with the pix on any web browser. Very bad resolution and everything is gradient. I am wondering if anyone has experienced such a thing... I am very upset. The reseller tells me its a general issue and that I should wait for an update fix.

  • Gradient (not smooth) has ripples on TV but looks good in Motion canvas?

    Could someone help me fix these ripples in my gradient? I have a gradient color as the background (pink fades to black), it looks smooth on my computer but on my TV monitor it is ripply and choppy as it fades out to black.
    I am working in NTSC DV.
    Thanks

    When I say render out, I mean exporting your Motion Project as a QT movie.
    I took a look at your project and rendered out a sample in Animation codec 32-bit. I didn't see any visible banding in the bkg peach to black gradient. The yellow circle in the right corner was walking a bit because the edge was harsh, and the yellow was really bright. Also the font is very thin for DV so it will not look that good.
    The font could be thicker, but I was able to address the visual problems with the circle by dropping the Fill Opacity to 90% and to apply a slight feather (4). DV as a codec doesn't like thin lines or sharp edges.
    Again, I didn't see any banding on the bkg gradient though. Even when I rendered out the sample in DV.

  • Gradients not smooth after Published?

    When working with my web site in iWeb design, my gradients are nice and smooth color transitions, but when I publish my site, the gradients have obvious color change transitions, more like bars than a gradient.
    Why is there such a big difference in what I see in iWeb vs. what I see in a browser (after my site is published)? Doesn't seem to make any difference with Browser I use either (IE7, IE8, Safari, Firefox), so obviously it's some type of compression done on Apple's MobileMe servers.
    I've also done a gradient as a picture (photoshop) and it comes out well after I publish, but gradients in iWeb shapes come out terrible after they're published.
    Anyone know what's going on and if there is anyway to minimize without restoring to making Photoshop gradients and importing as pictures into iWeb?
    Thanks, Rob.

    Did you discover any solutions to this? I'm having the same thing...smooth on timeline, rough exported and viewed in QT, then smooth after export and render to m4v for iPhone viewing where it looks back to normal...

  • Gradient banding is not smooth, with more halo white and dark black with poor tone

    Hello
    gradient banding is not smooth, with more halo white and dark black with poor gray tone

    Hello, long shot, but...
    Go to System Preferences > Universal Access and down in the Display: section make sure that the Enhance contrast: slider is all the way to left to Normal, or more to the right for less Contrast.
    Universal Access> may be Accessibility in 10.8.x

  • Cintiq 21UX Lines are not smooth in Photoshop CS

    Just got my new Cintiq 21ux this week....love it but when using Photoshop CS the lines are not smooth even when I use a ruler etc....have used a tablet for years so it's not practise but the software or something ???.....I do have smooth enabled in the Brush Dialog box so that's not the problem. When I sketch in Alias Sketchbook Pro and Corel Painter IX the lines are perfect and smooth.......Anybody have a similar problem and a solution.....any help would be appreciated...
    Cheers Mike
    PS
    I have already turned off double-click distance and have the latest Wacom Cintiq driver version 6.05 installed
    My operating system is Windows XP service pack 2

    Hi All thanks for the reply's.....
    Dave
    * Have reset my Photoshop preferences and same results
    * Have reset Wacom preferences and settings as per instruction from Wacom...also uninstalled and reinstalled Cintiq driver
    * Have played around with the brush settings...resolution etc etc etc....and no improvement in line quality
    * Have also heard from other people with Cintiq having the same issues with Photoshop
    * As much as I can tell the mouse looks okay
    I think it's a Wacom Cintiq Driver issue as my previous Intuos tablet etc I never had a problem with.
    Scott
    *Have also learned from others that other Photoshop versions also have same bad line quality....
    *Zooming does not solve the problem as I need to see the whole canvas to sketch and you still get the wobbly lines....
    Phos....
    * If I don't figure this out will have to give a bug report....not exactly sure how to do that though......
    The mystery continues

  • When using a path, jagged lines, not smooth lines, uneven lines

    I am using a Mac, photoshop CS5
    I created a path with Curves with the pen tool.
    filled it in with a color light blue.
    than I use the paint bucket to change it to dark blue.
    This is when the curved lines become jagged, not smooth, uneven.
    also I would like to use this as a mask, but with bg color changing from time to time.
    any solutions?
    GC

    Enable the retain transparency option when applying fills or use alternate colorization methods like using adjustment layers or creating the layer as a shape layer in the first place. Not sure what you mean by your mask thingy. You simply load the selection by Ctrl+clicking on teh layer thumbnail. this works no different than with any other layer.

  • Can somebody help me install IOS 6.1.3 back to my iPhone 4. IOS 7 is not smooth enough as perfect as IOS 6.1.3. I am stuck with this OS, every app gives a break for 4-5 seconds to open up. And playing games in this OS using iPhone 4 is really crazy

    Can somebody help me install IOS 6.1.3 back to my iPhone 4. IOS 7 or 7.0.4 is not smooth enough as perfect as IOS 6.1.3. I am stuck with this OS, every app gives a break for 4-5 seconds to open up. And playing games in this OS using iPhone 4 is really crazy. Very much disappointed that I am not able to use IOS 7 and cant go back to what I need.

  • PDF exported from Pages (mountain lion) results in jagged font not smooth

    I am using Mac air mid-2012 + Mountain Lion (OS X 10.9.4) + Pages (5.2)
    I used Arial - Regular - font 12 pt to write a resume. After I export to PDF the font on pdf looks anti-aliased, jagged not smooth on 100% scale. The font in Pages is ok.
    I export the same file to *.doc and opened it with OpenOffice and export to PDF using OpenOffice, the font looks no problem.
    I have the option "Use LCD font smoothing when available" option checked in system preferences.
    Does anyone have the same issue?

    This is a known issue in Pages 5's tables. Pages 5 has been out for 9 months now and there is no sign of Apple fixing the issue.
    Use Pages '09 if you have it.

  • My Macbook Pro's navigation is not smooth and screen shakes after after i open folders

    I just bought my macbook pro 15" and i am experiencing some problems
    For example,
    i put safari or any application to full screen. So whenever i move my curser to the top of the screen to i can activate the bar (File - Edit - View - .. etc) It doesn't show and go down smoothly
    Whenever I navigate to the right and left with my three fingers, its never smooth ... It keeps breaking and become slow
    When I scroll to open my notification center its not smooth
    Sometimes the screen shakes when i open an application or do certain things
    I guess its a software problem. Please help me find a solution because its getting really frustrating, especially that i just bought it
    Thank you a lot

  • Adobe Acrobat X Pro writing text not smooth.

    I use tablet pc for education in university and I try Adobe Acrobat X Pro writing text it not smooth text can you have add-in pen input support or support pen writing (smooth)for tablet pc?

    If you want to annotate the PDF directly on a tablet, use PDF Annotator. The annotation capabilities of Acrobat are poor. You also have to select the erase tool to erase, rather than just turn the pen over. PDF Annotator works the way you would expect annotation to work with a pen. It is also useful if you grade PDFs on the tablet. The only thing I find annoying with Annotator is that the paging is a bit clunky. You should be able to find an educational price for the package, or possibly your school has it under license. There is a 30-day trial if you would like to try it. Most folks here would not dream of annotating with Acrobat for the same reasons you have found.

  • SRM BAdI BBP_PGRP_ASSIGN_BADI not triggering

    Can anyone please let me know why its not trigerring?
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi Rahim,
    There are two BADI's existing in the SRM system for this:
    (1) BBP_PGRP_ASSIGN_BADI - This BADI will be used to assign the Purchasing Group for the follow-on- documents created for the Shopping cart.
    (2) BBP_PGRP_FIND - This BADI will be used to change the Purchasing Group based on some logic in the Shopping cart itself.
    So, In your case, I request to sit with your Technical Guy and give these BADI details to acheive this requirement.
    It is possible and we have implemented similar logic in our project.Please let me know for any help.
    Also, Request to please post this type of queries in the SRM Community so that you will get the replies fast.
    Thanks
