Prevent Banding with ramps in backgrounds

Beginners
1

When using ramp TOPs on background, I get the typical problem of banding;
its also typical to add grain to fix this; whats the best solution for this in TD?
thank you :slight_smile:

I am wondering the same thing if you were able to find a solution @lifeexplorer . I am going to try some blur effects to see if I can smooth it out

Seems that the Interpolate Notches’ settings in the OP do a good job of smoothing the banding. Particularly the ‘Hermite’ option

Hi @retone,

the Dither parameter of the Ramp TOP might also help with this.

cheers
Markus
