Re: More on the Banding, Jim / Feldon Check in please

I can see it I THINK, but only just. It became more pronounced when I started to doctor the image, to try out a desktop
background. The more sharpness or contrast I added, the more obvious the banding.
I then made a still image of my own, from the program on my own system. The banding, at all stages, is less. But it is there. I'm not sure what all this means, - perhaps someone else can explain? Is it all down to the image processing -(adding sharpness or contrast)? But I do think its there from the start.

The following two jpegs illustrate the effect (if somewhat exaggerated)
Is this the size (if not the severity) of the banding we should be seeing?

jpegs can be found here - www.cjmaddy.co.uk/banding/banding.html

I am using ...
Sony Trinitron 17in G200
GeForce2 MX 200 64MB - 12.41 driver
Windows 98 SE
AMD K6 II 500
448 MB RAM

I would never have seen this without all this effort, and I am more than happy to live with the undoctored image!
