Banding in an Image or a Video means, that bands for where a smoother Gradient should be.

This image shows a black to white Gradient on the Left side within an 8-Bit Color space, and on the right side I reduced the colors to 16.
But the Image is actually way more interesting than it seems at first.
Because I didn’t pick the colors. Photoshop did.
And what you can see is, that the Bands are the smallest in the gray area and they getting bigger in the bright and dark areas.
This shows, that most image compressing algorithms capture more details in the medium bright areas.
Export for web
[/fusion_title][fusion_text columns=”2″ animation_direction=”left” animation_speed=”0.3″ animation_delay=”0″ hide_on_mobile=”small-visibility,medium-visibility,large-visibility” sticky_display=”normal,sticky”]The majority of people still use the Export for Web (Legacy) feature to optimized images for the Web.
Just don’t it has Legacy in the name for a reason.
You can either use WebP, which is limited to 8-Bit but has some features to make banding less noticeable and has also some benefits when it comes to SEO since it was developed by Google. And it is supported by every current browser besides KaiOS Browser which I never heard about (You can check here, by which browser WebP is supported).
Here is an article about, how to export WebP directly out of Photoshop.
In the near future, it may make sense, to use AVIF, which is even more efficient than WebP.
But they are not supported by every major Browser (as you can see here).
But if that should change, you can convert your Images at their Website. www.avif.io.
If you have banding after exporting and image the normal way, it is either, because you exported it as a JPEG which “only” supports 8-Bit, or you accidentally switched from 16-Bit or 32-Bit mode to 8-Bit Mode.

In most video formats, the standard Color depth is 8-Bit. Which is enough for most of the Videos, but there are always some Videos, which can cause problems. Especially Videos with a lot of dark colors have this issue.
There are a lot of video Formats, but I only use 4 which are QuickTime, H264,H265 and WebM I don’t really see a reason, to use anything else.

When it comes to QuickTime, you should pick that in general, since it is not a format meant for final output.

To do that, just select either the part with the banding in it or without it. Personally, I like t use the Quick Selection Tool for something like that.
If you are Donne, Press Ctrl/command + J to Copy the selected on a new Layer
Hold Ctrl/command and click on the new Created Layer, to get the same selection again. Now select the Original Layer, Click on Select>Inverse to inverse your selection and Press Ctrl/command + J again.
Now you have the Original Layer, a Layer with the Part without banding, The Part with Banding and the Original Layer. If not, put it in this order.

After that, hit on okay.
