Hi there fellow photoshoppers! I need some help on a photo-editing issue...

Whenever I try to put a darker color over a white image, it always shows the color transitions. It happens with all kinds of dark colors - black, brown, purple, blue... I viewed the image on several PCs and it has the same problem. The image bellow shows what I'm talking about. The basic parameters are: RGB, 8bits, 300dpi

Sorry if its a noob question, but I can't figure how to fix it Frown

Have you got the layer opacity or fill at 100%

I don't know what you are doing but you must be doing something iffy. Are you using layer blend modes or anything? Why are you layering a dark layer over a light layer? What benefit are you deriving from that?

No, no layer modes or anything. Whatever I do that involves a darker color, even if I change the brightness/contrast of a picture, this thing happens. As for the colored layer, I wanted to recolor a picture with a white background and make it darker.

Btw, can it be PC related? I had the same PS on my old comp and it didn't do this.

Have read about few thing that can cause it like colour depth (8, 24, 32 etc)

and have read about a few things that can correct it...

http://slodive.com/photoshop/how-to-correct-banding-in-your-gradients-using-photoshop/

I just got a new computer and having all sorts of issues with different gpu on same monitor.

I cant see banding as easily as i used to which is a bit of a worry.

good luck with it.
