What is causing this banding on the image after saving it?

danielphotoSWEDEN Mar 21, 2013 5:55 AM

...I have started to notice this pop up every once in a while over the last several months...after saving a file or moving the file from one folder/drive/computer to another, a band like this will appear...any thoughts?

...This has happened twice today while editing this session...but it does not happen all the time...it has been a few weeks since it happened last.

...CS5...Windows 7 Professional...need any other info?

Hi there! Because the forum you originally posted in is for beginners trying to learn the basics of Photoshop, I moved your question to the Photoshop General Discussion forum, where you'll get more specialized help.

To help others help you, please read through this article and provide any additional relevant details.

Is the banding visible when an afflicted file is viewed in programs other than Photoshop?

...I save all my finished / edited files as psd. , so it is visable in Bridge...what other programs would you recommend I view the file in?

I was wondering whether the files actually contain the coloured bands or if only the Photoshop display was wrong. Since the bands can be seen in Bridge then the files must actually contain the bands. Someone more knowledgeable than me will help you, hopefully.

That looks like corruption in the file -- which means you have a problem with your hard disk (though we have seen bad antivirus software and some bad font managers also cause corruption every once in a while).
