Banding issues using Rgrad

Hey all I'm having banding issues using rgrad, I changed it to 16 bit and float but the banding is still there and noticable, surely thre's a way to create a gradient fall off map without banding, and if so how?
Rgs,
-Nic

Yes, or even 6 bits, 90% (or more) of the LCD screens on the market are TN (twisted nematic) based, which is a 6 bit -only- technology. They "simulate" an 8 bit display by dithering.
(Apple's pro monitors are all 8 bit LCD's, as are a handful of professional level LCD screens)

Severe banding issue in shadow areas

Short Version: Having severe banding issues in shadow areas in Lightroom. Need to know how/what to set my color profile to to fix this issue. Lengthier description and images below.
I have read several posts here in the Lightroom forums about others who are experiencing the same type of banding issues, but I haven't seen any definitive answers on how to solve the problem.
I was able to take a couple screenshots of the issue that I am seeing. The image looks very different in Photoshop, Lightroom, Windows Photo Gallery, and also rendered in IE7. Screenshots of the image in Lightroom and the image in Photoshop are posted below at a 100% crop of the affected area. The first image is how it appears in Lightroom and the second image is how it appears in Photoshop.
From what I have read elsewhere the problem has to do with how Lightroom uses color profiles. I do not have much experience with color profiles, so I'd like to get everyone's recommendation on what color profile I should be using, and maybe a link to some information on setting color profiles and how to fix this issue. The image looks so much different in Lightroom than it does elsewhere, that I can't see myself being able to trust Lightroom to process my images.
Some info on my setup. Shoot RAW with Canon Rebel XT. Use a Dell with Pentium D running Windows Vista. Monitor is a Dell 2007FP, and currently I am using the Dell 2007FP color profile as far as I can tell.

Don, Bob!
I think it is quite obvious that the Eric's problem is not banding per se (and the related cure by fiddling with black setting), but rather about the mismatch between how the file looks in LR's Develop 100% view and how the same file (or an exported file) looks in Photoshop.
Eric!
I am afraid there is no definite answer to this problem. Indeed there are a number of Windows users that have reported this problem. A very exhaustive and inconclusive thread is this:
http://www.adobeforums.com/cgi-bin/webx?128@@.3bc3578d
The bottom line so far seems to be this:
LR on Windows uses Windows ICM to generate how the image looks on the screen, while PS uses Adobe own engine to generate this. Somehow this set-up appears not to work reliably with LR - the on-screen image in LR 100% develop differs from the same file's appearance in PS or other color managed applications. The mystery here is that other applications that seem to use Windows ICM still manage to show image correctly, but not LR. But anyway, the Windows ICM appears to be the culprit here.
The amount of difference people see depends on the complexity of the monitor profile used. LUT based Version 4.0 profiles will be affected worst - not only shadow detail, but the overall tonality and colors may be off. The best match is achieved with simple matrix based version 2.0 profiles - on my machine the mismatch occurs only in deep shadows were I see banding/splotchiness in LR and only under certain Develop settings.
(Incidentallly, on Windows XP (and older) machines one should ALWAYS use ver 2.0 profiles, as Windows ICM does not support ver 4.0 profiles. I also think that Windows ICM cannot handle LUT based profiles correctly. My own experiments showed that using LUT based monitor profile resulted in mismatch between PS CS2 and other applications (like Canon DPP), not only LR. BTW - as you are using generic monitor profile, I can almost bet that it is a matrix ver 2.0 profile (good thing).)
I am curious about the Vista thing though. I had certain hopes that this image appearance problem in LR would be eliminated on Vista, as it uses the Microsoft's new Windows Color System which incororates an updated ICM that now supports ver 4.0 profiles and reportedly has many bugs of the previous ICM fixed. However, if your report is true and the image mismatch is not due to some other factors, then it seems that Vista does not solve this.

Dell u2410 BANDING issues

I use my DELL U2410 as my external monitor and I got some banding issues in some of the color. Especially in Blue and Black. It looks very pixelated.
The driver provided by DELL is only for Windows and I tried to look for somehting online to see if there is a driver out there but couldnt find any.
My display settings are
Colors: Millions
Refresh Rate: 60 Hertz (NTSC) (I cant change to PAL and I am in europe). Could this be it??
Option: Overscan is ticked.
Any idea guys?

Have you tried a new cable?

Banding Issues with GeForce 8800

Hi,
I just installed CS4 Production Premium on a new Mac Pro. The system specs are:
2x 3 GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon
10GB RAM
NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GT 512MB
2x 1TB SAS drives
Samsung 30" Syncmaster 305T Plus
OSX 10.5.6 (both OSX and CS4 are up to date)
When I was working in After Effects, I noticed some dramatic banding issues when lighting a scene. I was curious, so I created a gradient and the same banding was visible. I tried creating a gradient in PS, AI and Flash: same results. Consistent across all CS4 products, and the image depth (8bit, 16bit or 32bit) doesn't affect it at all. Applying a blur effect to any image also produces banding.
I tried finding some gradients through Google image search. They look fine in Firefox, but when I open them in Photoshop the banding once again pops up. Same in Preview to some extent, but not as drastic.
Two other guys in my office are running CS4 with the same monitor. We're running identically calibrated color profiles, and working in the same color space. They have no problems. The only difference between their setup and mine is that they're using Macbook Pros.
Things I have tried: turning OpenGL on/off and toggling the individual GPU settings, working in all available color spaces, working with variable DPI, using another monitor, changing the synchronized color space through Bridge, changing the conversion options (dither, engine, etc), changing the color management policies, working in CMYK/RGB/Gray/Lab, changing the pixel aspect ratio, altering the scratch disks and memory allocation, dumping my CS4 preferences and starting over... none of this affects the banding. A 16bit 72DPI image that's a straight black to white gradient consists of nothing more than 12 or so very visible steps. I'm starting to wonder if this is a graphics card issue.
All the work I'm doing is for screen, so printers don't factor into the equation. I'd appreciate any tips or suggestions anyone can offer.

Well, one thing I notice is that attempting to open the linked .png in Photoshop, it has an embedded "SyncMaster" profile.
Opening it in Photoshop CS4, maintaining that profile, I see banding (although very subtle in the second (bottom) example). The top example exhibits a stippled effect at the band edges at 100% scale.
Opening it and converting it to Adobe RGB 1998, I see almost no sign of banding in that bottom example.
Opening it as is in Preview, I see the banding again.
Creating a new radial gradient in Photoshop CS4, 1300 pixels wide, #666666 to #000000, at 100% scale, it is a smooth transition with the barest hint of banding. Also, my #666666 is noticeably lighter than in your example.
Offhand, I'm not sure which factors affect your workflow. But I doubt it is your video card unless it is set for, say 16 bit or 8 bit...

Sudden banding issue with Mac and new Canon printer, already called tech

Good morning fellow Elementites.
I have been using Photoshop Elements 12 on my MacBook Pro 13 inch, running Maverick OS, printing to HP Photosmart Premium all-in one with no banding issues, ever.
I did want to upgrade my printer and monitor so I purchased the Canon Pixma Pro 100 and a new external LG IPS monitor to view the PSE program.
I also purchased ColorMunki Display to calibrate the monitor. Everything is operational with the recommended settings for color etc.
I printed a .tiff image and a .jpg through the PSE print function. The images that looked perfect on the new monitor and Macbook monitor printed with banding. I called Canon tech support. The man had me perform a few tasks to make sure the printer was operating correctly. We printed test sheets from the printer and they were all as they should be.
He the said he NEVER prints from PSE. He edits in PSE but prints using Canon's EZ share or print or whatever it's called, doesn't matter cause I do NOT LIKE IT AT ALL. Not to mention it is just another step in the work flow. Not to mention that I paid good money for a photo editing program of high quality and I want to use ALL the features.
He said the problem isn't the printer but the printing software instructions TO the printer via the Mac OS printer system, or something like this is what he said. He also had me download some other updates and driver files. He then had me remove the printer from my printer list and then add it back.
He then had me print the .jpg image, (it only prints .jpg which is annoying as heck,) and it came out SO BEAUTIFUL I ALMOST CRIED
I want to print this quality THROUGH PSE. Does anyone have a clue as to what to do to resolve the issue? None of the suggestions in other threads from the past seem appropriate enough.
Eager to hear,
Regards.

I have returned home and have copied down all the settings so that I may post them here before I do any more fiddling. Maybe something glaring will be spotted before I start changing things.
I opened an image in PSE 12.
I chose from the PSE menu at the top of the monitor, FILE >PRINT
A window appears with my photo and boxes and such: 1. Select Printer> CANON PRO 100-SERIES (The other printer isn't concern now).
Select Paper Size and Orientation, no problems with this or any of the other settings in this window.
I then select MORE OPTIONS button at bottom of window.
Another window opens.
There are 3 options listed on the left hand side PRINTING CHOICES which it is automatically on, CUSTOM PRINT SIZE which I haven't needed yet, and COLOR MANAGEMENT.
I select COLOR MANAGEMENT.
COLOR HANDLING is set to PRINTER MANAGES COLOR.
IMAGE SPACE is listed, not in any box, as sRGB IEC61966-2.1
PRINTER PROFILE is listed in a box that is grayed out and not selectable, as CANON IJ COLOR PRINTE...
RENDERING INTENT is set in a selectable box as RELATIVE COLORMETRIC.
(There is a little mssg below all this that reminds me to remember to enable color management in the printer preferences dialog. I was never able to find this action and after doing some research I read that this mssg is a boo boo as the function is automatic in MAC running Maverick, supposedly).
I then click OK and the box goes away.
I then click the PAGE SET UP button.
A window titled PRINT opens.
The Printer selection box says CANON PRO=100 series.
The next box always confuses me because nothing in the list appears to pertain to me when I want to print my photos. It is the Presets box.
I believe FAST PRINTING ON PLAIN PAPER is always showing when I open this window. But I don't want that so I always look to see if there is something I should choose that applies. I don't know what they mean by DEFAULT SETTINGS in this case. LAST USED SETTINGS would be ok if that was what I wanted each time I printed. FAST and FINE on Plain Paper? I have been assuming they mean plain copy paper so I don't choose that. SAVE CURRENT SETTINGS AS PRESET, I don't choose that because I haven't been sure of the settings. And the SHOW PRESETS does me no good becuase you can't change anything in there.
PAPER SIZE, not an issue at the moment.
LAYOUT button is my next stop, by now I am exhausted
I look at COLOR MATCHING which shows CANON COLOR MATCHING as the selected method. (The other choice is COLOR SYNC but I don't know anything about that one and haven't been told to change it.)
PAPER HANDLING & COVER PAGE, N/A at this time.
QUALITY & MEDIUM. I choose my paper type, paper source, print quality which for my photos I select HIGH. I don't touch COLOR OPTIONS because that is scary looking. And BORDER and MARGIN I have no issue with.
I then hit SAVE and the window closes.
Then I select PRINT in the lower right of the window that has my photo in it and from which I acessed all these other things.
Phew. So, can anyone tell me if they see anything wrong here, PLEASE.
Regards,
P.

PNG alpha banding issue

Hi all,
Narg, I've been trying to export some png assets for flash from photoshop and keep getting this weird banding issue (see attached image). As you can see, the image on the bottom is the png loaded into photoshop and placed on a white background. Then, on the top is how the png looks when placed on a white background in flash. WHY?!
Please, if anyone could shed some light on this I'd be really greatful.
Just to rule out some of the more obvious responses, I've already tried the following:
- Exporting as a 24bit+alpha png from photoshop (interlaced and non-interlaced)
- Exporting as a 32bit alpha png from fireworks
- Exporting as an 8bit alpha png from fireworks
- checking the image properties in flash (losless, no smoothing)
- checking the colour space settings in all apps involved
Thanks guys n gals,
Jon

If you import your design to the library THEN put it on stage, you have a very.. very high chance to lose some quality over it. ( especially photo type thing or photoshop element )
You might want to try to import it directly to stage ( if he want to replace a thing, say yes ) to have it at its full resoltion. And for later use, if you need to put it on another stage, DONT use the library one, import it again to stage directly. ( click yes). However Ctrl +c and ctrl +v dont lose any resolution when you select the right one.
That is a bug i found in flash a couple day ago. This is not true with all element, so... be alert to that thing,

I have an issue using Lighting Effects in Adobe Photoshop CC 2014

Hello everyone,
I am having issues using Lighting Effects in Adobe Photoshop CC 2014. I created a duplicate layer that I want to do the effects on, converted it to a smart object and on that same layer went to Filter>Render>Lighting Effects to get to the Lighting Effects screen. When adjusting the parameters (drag/reshape the lights) for either the spotlight or point light, I don't see any changes. Can someone tell me what could be the issue or if I'm doing the steps wrong to apply the effects?
Here are my specs:
Operating System: Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit (6.1, Build 7601) Service Pack 1 (7601.win7sp1_gdr.140303-2144)
Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-2600S CPU @ 2.80GHz (8 CPUs), ~2.8GHz
Memory: 8192MB RAM
Available OS Memory: 8174MB RAM
Card name: AMD Radeon HD 6570
Manufacturer: ATI Technologies Inc.
Display Memory: 743 MB
Dedicated Memory: 1008 MB
Shared Memory: 3831 MB

I am experiencing flickering issues as well. However my issues are with the Fast Color Corrector and the Three Way Color Corrector. It seems as if the color correction tools are causing intermittent flickering on some people's systems.
Additionally when I converted some old PPCC 7.2.2 projects which had the Three Way Color Corrector applied, some clips in sequences would come up as a green screen in the program monitor. If I turned the TWCC off the footage would display correctly in the program window. If I turn the TWCC back on it would display the green screen again.
I haven't found a solution to the flickering but to solve the green screen issue I have to remove the effect, then re apply it. I guess for whatever reason, the 2014 version of PP has issues with 7.2.2 projects where the TWCC was applied.
I'm hoping Adobe will address this soon with an update for the various bugs that have been reported.

An issue using the COM components supplied with SAP GUI 6.2 or 6.4

We are having an issue using the COM components supplied with SAP GUI 6.2 or 6.4. We used to have SAP 4.6c and now we have 5.0. When we were on 4.6c, we used these COM components to logon and execute RFC calls and we had much success. Now that we are on 5.0, we cant seem to instance any SAP functions that have something to do with SAP Workflow. We have experienced this problem when using VB6 or .NET, but our existing code that always worked is in VB 6.0.
SAP Components used:
o     SAP Logon Control
o     SAP Function Control
o     Librfc32.dll
o     Other supporting C DLLs and/or COM object supplied with the SAP GUI installation.
For example, if we want to call the RFC ARCHIV_CONNECTION_INSERT, this code fails in VB6 when the Set objworkflow = objFuncCtrl.Add(strFunction) line of code executes. Instead of returning an instance of the object ARCHIV_CONNECTION_INSERT function, no object is created. In 6.2, SAP raises no errors, but the object we are trying to create is still Nothing. If we use 6.4, SAP raises an error SAP data type not supported via a message box and then the object is still = Nothing. Interestingly enough, the 6.2 GUI COM controls dont display the error dialog. The message box that is shown comes from the SAP Function COM Object "SAP.Functions" (wdtfuncs.ocx).
Now, what is interesting is if we use the same code to call a standard function or custom function that doesnt have anything to do with SAP Workflow, then the code works fine. Again, all of our code used to work just fine on an SAP 4.6 system.
Here is the code that fails:
    'SAP Logon control - object for creating connections to an SAP system
    Dim objSAPLogonCtrl As Object
    'SAP connection object
    Dim objConnection As Object
    'Object that will represent the SAP function called
    Dim objSAP As Object
    'SAP function control object - object factory for creating other SAP function objects
    Dim objFuncCtrl As Object
    'Create instance of an SAP logon conrol
    Set objSAPLogonCtrl = CreateObject("SAP.Logoncontrol.1")
    'Create a connection object
    Set objConnection = objSAPLogonCtrl.NewConnection
    'Define connecion parameters
    objConnection.ApplicationServer = "sapvm"
    objConnection.SystemNumber = "00"
    objConnection.Client = "800"
    objConnection.User = "iissap"
    objConnection.Password = "tstadm"
    objConnection.Language = "E"
    objConnection.TraceLevel = 10
    'call the logon method of the connection object
    If objConnection.Logon(0, True) = False Then
        MsgBox Error
        Exit Sub
    End If
    'Create an instance of the SAP Function control object
    Set objFuncCtrl = CreateObject("SAP.Functions")
    'Set the function control connection object
    Set objFuncCtrl.Connection = objConnection
    'Function name to be generated and called
    Dim strFunction As String
    strFunction = <b>"ARCHIV_PROCESS_RFCINPUT"</b>
    'Create an instance of the function defined in strFunction
    Set objworkflow = objFuncCtrl.Add(strFunction)
    If objworkflow Is Nothing Then
        MsgBox "Could not create object " & strFunction
    Else
        MsgBox strFunction & " object created."
    End If
If anyone has seen anything like this or has any ideas, please help!

Issues using macbook with bootcamp and external apple monitor

I am having issues using an apple external monitor connected to my macbook with bootcamp - in particular, if i connect the monitor to the computer when the computer is already on, it won't work. Also, when i disconnect the monitor fromt he computer, the computer screen will go black and I'll have to re-start
Anybody experienced the same and can help?
Thx

just make sure that while its standing on its side there aren't any plugs or cables on that side. I'm not familiar with the mb port setup, but having power, two usb, and a display cable could prose a problem for sideward standing if they are on separate sides of the machine.
as the first commenter mentioned the orientation of your computer is irrelevant, but you wouldn't want to have the weight of the laptop sitting ontop of a usb or video plug that's coming out the side.

Help with Video Performance Issues using Flash

Asking on behalf of a customer who has been unable to get any answers so far - are you able to help?
Background:
We have a port of our Game Development Kit which allows us to recompile all our games using Crossbridge (http://adobe-flash.github.io/crossbridge/) into SWF without any code modifications.
Overview:
Our framework is using OpenGL for rendering and we have successfully ported it along with the audio and video to run in Flash.
We are experiencing performance issues using Video. We cannot use image sequence as some of the video animations are too long and would increase the download to an unacceptable size. Assets vary between 256x256 - 1024x1024 videos.

Here's the rest of the story. Let me know if you can see any resolution, and I will connect him to the forums. Thank you.
Current Video Solution:
We create an instance of NetConnection, NetStream, and Video according to most samples out there, and invoke draw to rasterize the Video DisplayObject into a BitmapData instance.
The BitmapData instance has a fixed color component layout which is not compatible with Stage3D texture and is therefore has to be reformatted before uploaded to Stage3D Texture (See Code Listing below).
Our Problems:
Performance issues with RGBA conversion (either using copyChannel or manually reformatting is not fast enough) natively in as3; this required for stage3d texture.Copying each channel individual using bitmapdata.Copychannel seems faster, but not significantly faster.
Cannot detect when video frame has been updated, therefore we may copy pixels that are not needed in enterframe (processpixel).
Looping video, our current solution uses the NET_STATUS event Buffer empty; Is there a better way to loop videos than checking buffer and seeking to 0.
Stepping video, loading FLV or MP4 side by side assets from HTTP or embedded does not support stepping? Is there another way?
ActionScript Code Listing:
video_nc = new NetConnection();
video_nc.addEventListener(NetStatusEvent.NET_STATUS , onConnect);
video_nc.addEventListener(AsyncErrorEvent.ASYNC_ERROR , trace);
video_nc.connect(null);
// OnConnect Event:
this.ns = new NetStream(e.target as NetConnection);
eventclient = new Object();
eventclient.onMetaData = onMetaData;
this.ns.client = eventclient;
ns.play(flvfile);
ns.pause();
//onMetaData event:
this.width = infoObject.width;
this.height = infoObject.height;
this.textureWidth = NextPowerOfTwo(this.width);
this.textureHeight = NextPowerOfTwo(this.height);
cliprect = new Rectangle(0, 0, this.width ,this.height);
cliprect.x = 0;
cliprect.y = 0;
cliprect.width = this.textureWidth;
cliprect.height = this.textureHeight;
totalFrames = infoObject.duration * infoObject.fps;
this.hasAlpha = true;
if(infoObject.videocodecid == 5)
this.hasAlpha = true;
this.bitmapData = new BitmapData(this.textureWidth, this.textureHeight, hasAlpha, 0xff000000);
this.video = new Video(this.width, this.height);
this.video.attachNetStream(ns);
this.video.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, processPixels);
// processPixel method:
BitmapData.draw(video);
GLAPI.instance.glBindTexture(GLAPI.GL_TEXTURE_2D,this.textureId);
var fmt:uint = GLAPI.GL_ARGB;

2007 MBP LED Banding Issue

Short backstory: My mac was working fine, except when I would open the lid to wake it from sleep it would turn on the display, but not the backlight. Sometimes the backlight would take 5 seconds to turn on, sometimes it would take upwards of a whole minute to turn on. Adjusting the brghtness controls on the keyboard didn't make any difference, so I decided to do some reasearch and followed instructions to reset the PRAM and SMC. The delay has gone away, but now I have a new problem.
My MacBookPro3,1 LCD backlight seems to have light banding issues on the bottom of my screen. It seems almost like if it a row of lights that ever 3rd light or so is out. Is this a software problem of a hardware problem and is it an indication that my screen is about to go out?

That's a display issue. As you have had problems with the display before, it looks like the display is damaged, so take the Mac to an Apple Store or AASP

DB LINK issue using in a Procedure

Hello All, I'm having an issue using DB link in a procedure to collect data into a pl/sql table.
Table1 which is in 10g version being accessed by a DB link and has around 1 million records. Using this link I’m selecting data into another schema DB (which is 11g) into pl/sql table. To my surprise through an anonymous block I can populate data into pl/sql table less than half minute. If i use the same logic by creating a procedure, it takes forever? Is this something to do with the DB versions?
Appreciate your help. Thanks!

In that case you should be using a local table to hold the data.
Create either a permanent local table or a global temporary table and populate it directly from the remote DB:
INSERT /*+ APPEND */ INTO myLocalTable SELECT * FROM remoteTable@dblink
{coded}
Modify your procedure to load the local table and then process the data locally.
The procedure should use SQL whenever possible.
