Hi All
I'm really struggling with banding in sky. Most evening shots especially with sky have really bad banding, and any adjustments just compound. I'm working of .DNG RAW, 16 bit processing in ProPhotoRGB profile. If i make any
slight adjustments (say highlight recovery, or a grad over the sky, or dropping the exposure) I get bad banding and also strange colour shifts towards cyan/greens.
Havng worked with Canon .CR2 files for years I have never seen anything like this? Elasticity of the image is great at the shadow end, but seems very bad towards the highlight end? I've just tried comparison with the SlikyPix app on the OEM disc to see if it was LR specific,but similar outcomes. Almost feels like I'm processing a worse than 8bit jpeg from a very old sensor.
Any advice, similiar experiences? Is there anything obvious I'm missing? Thanks, Rob
