How to remove banding in Photoshop

Banding is a digital phenomenon and is most noticeable in solid areas of your image that lack detail, such as a seamless paper backdrop for studio photographers or a clear blue sky outdoors. It typically happens when a tone is graduated over several shades, from light to dark.
So what should appear as a seamless and subtle transition will instead show as bands of color that do not appear to blend well at all!

Changing from 8-bit to 16-bit made a significant difference, thank you!

Use 16 bit ✅
Add Noise ✅
Try Gaussian Blur
This works for me!

[@lspactions1886]

Yep!!! Those things really help 😊

Is there somewhere I can download any free camden textures?? all I need is one a bit like the one you used there just 1 that will work as it did here?
this should be easy I know but google images searches are driving me up the wall with their brain-dead results

[@lspactions1886]

You can download the Camden Textures here www.lsp-actions.com/collections/available/products/camden-texture-overlay-collection - they aren't available for free. Any sites claiming to illegally have my creations as downloads often insert malware and the like. But if you click the link above, that will take you direct to the Camden texture page :)

@@lspactions1886 Thats fair enough LSP.Actions, thanks But perhaps you could explain please what on earth a Camden texture is?? Also how long theyve been around ?
I have to ask because no joy from but yet more grief trying to search google for explanations on them that arent promotions or ads... Gah! is it just me or is google search down with the flu or something Also fyi I wouldnt dream of going near those toxic "free download" 'sites

[@lspactions1886]

The Camden Texture collection is a pack of textures I have created that you can overlay on to your image using Photoshop. Camden is the creative name. I also have an Artisan collection and a Boutique collection amongst others :) you can find out everything on the link i added above
