I just have to say, as a professional photographer coming from the photojournalism side of things, I've had to learn a lot of tricks in Photoshop when I got hired onto a marketing department. You've been a life saver for years. I appreciate that you put this stuff up for free and you are a very good teacher on top of things. So, thank you to you and your team.

Having worked in many of the top retouching studios, I can tell you none of them work in 16-bit. It is useful to initially process 16-bit RAW files, but they are always processed down to 8-bit for retouching. THEN, as a very last step, convert back to 16-bit, flatten, then back to 8-bit for the final delivery. What this achieves is to render your adjustment layers in 16-bit. Any banding you may have while working in 8-bit is removed in this final step.

Great tutorial as always. I would also like to learn how different blur modes work and how to decide which one to choose.

@KatiePiecrust 4 ай бұрын

In most instances, Gaussian blur is the way to go. Note that older monitors/televisions tend to have difficulty displaying the full range of colors in smooth gradients and thus will likely still have a little bit of banding afterwards, something that can only be properly judged when using a newer and properly calibrated display device meant for work like this.

"8bit" vs "8bit dithering" vs "10bit", common problem in video quality. 😅 This banding problem always happen to me if I download landscape wallpaper in JPG format, they compressed that to the bone 😅, hard to find any wallpaper with original quality in PNG format.

The problem with this is it causes Photoshop to lag like crazy when you save your file. Takes way too long. And your file size increases a lot too. A simple file like like goes over 1 GB easily. Don't work in 16 bit unless you need to.

Working in 16 bit is redundant and slow. It is far, far more efficient to work in 8 bit and only convert to 16 bit before flattening the file after you've finished making any edits. You can then convert back to 8 bit once the file has been flattened.
