Im wondering if there is any way to rid this image of this weird digital "noise""banding" to left side of this image? I have attached the edited and unedited image. The images are slightly censored aswell fyi. I shot this image at 200 iso. I spend a decent time editing these and when I exported the finished images and added a bit of grain to them these looked really bad around those shadowy areas.

I'm not seeing any artifacts. In Preferences> Performance try setting 'Use Graphics Processor' to Off, close LrC and then reopen it.

Todd,

I tried that and still have the same result. I have attached another example maybe it shows more. The first image is the edited and the second is the unedited. The image was shot in raw btw. I white outlined around the problem area I am refering to. Theres some weird things going on with the colors. Thanks in advance

Is it always on the left side?

Your lights are on the left and I wonder if you're getting some sort of artifact from the lights in the very dark regions. Is there anything in the background that could be picked up when you bring up the highlights in those regions?

BTW, you CAN get noise at 200 ISO, just less than if you're using (say) 1200 ISO.
