Well, the subject line says it all. I am trying to get some pictures cleaned up and sent off for printing while Adorama is having its sale. While cleaning the pics i notice some of the pictures had banding after running then through NeatImage. They banding occured in a full range of cameras; including three canon powershots and a casio (the ones below are from the Casio).

Original
Filtered

Using NeatImage 5.something; using default settings. Created an Auto-Profile using "regular image" came back as a 83% good profile.

Any help would be good!

TIA

I changed the working color space from YCrCb to RGB and banding did not occur.

EDIT: I ran it with YCrCb color space and banding still didn't occur...

I'm using the latest version of Neat Image v5.8

What I did was just import the image, click on "Auto Profile," click on "Auto Fine Tune," and save the image.

SO, i spent a few hours last night playing with the settings. Nothing fixed it. I don't what it is. The final screen where you can see the final image before saving it doesn't have banding. I save the file and boom, there is banding. I tried naming it different, thinking that the computer is caching something weird, tried saving in different locations, nothing fixed it. There is banding in the saved image, but no banding in the final tab. I also tried saving as a tif and a jpeg. I am really confused now.
