Pushing fill to maximum is going to make any shot look pretty awful, especially if you do this to compensate for underexposure. In CS4 I avoid fill higher than about 10 except in extreme cases.
Agreed... I only took this drastic measure to determine wether there was any banding visible at all. But I could have used other tools (like levels, curves, shadows, brightness, etc) as well for this purpose.
If I look closely I\'m pretty certain I can see some banding at +400 and at 100% magnification I think I can maybe see some at +300. But in neither case would this be visible in a fairly large print - and it is the result of trying to rescue a poor exposure by extreme measures, not the result of the camera malfunctioning.
Yes, the combination of underexposure and pushing seems to result in banding. But not all of the time... not even after a drastic +100 fill light adjustment. \"Why is that?\" is the question is still like to see answered
