I think you are right in that the grayscale profile is a problem, but I am not sure it is the only problem.   Doing blur on a grayscale 16-bit image (banding) and then converting it to RGB (looks fine). If I save a grayscale image in 8-bit jpeg, I see banding there. But if the banding would only be in the "display step" (ie not in the image data itself), then opening the jpeg and saving it as a colour 8-bit image should remove the apparent banding (since we are now bypassing the grayscale profile), but it does not fix the issue.   It can still be the profile, but I think it is deeper than just in the step of how the picture is shown on screen, since the banding gets burned into a jpeg when saving it.   I will be doing more in RGB mode going forward and hoping that Photoshop adresses this in future updates. Really appreciate all the info and discussion. If anyone else has experience with this it would be interesting to hear. ... View more

Fosse, your last reply got me thinking.   If the file data is OK, but the display is wrong, then blurring the 16-bit BW image (has banding), and then switching to RGB colour, should remove the banding in the image -- and it does! Before I had always undone the gaussian blur, switch to RGB, and then do the blur again.   That gave me hope, what if I converted the BW 8-bit jpeg to colour, would the banding disappear -- which it did not. So somehow the banding gets locked into the jpeg image (I use Adobe RGB).   What is the best grayscale profile to use? The Gray Gamma 2.2 gave banding, is there some wider profile? I feel like I am opening Pandora's box with all these different colour profiles... ... View more

Thanks Fosse, this is quite interesting and I am learning things.   I wrote "black and white", but it should be "grayscale" mode.   The profile was defaulted to “Working Gray - Dot gain 20%” for grayscale, I changed it to “Gray Gamma 2.2” (16-bit) and still see the same banding when doing Gaussian blur.   Undid the Gaussian blur, switched to RGB 16-bit, applied the same filter again and got a smooth gradient.   Also repeated it with 32-bit just to make sure it has enough bit-depth, but got the same result -- banding for grayscale, smooth gradient for colour. ...

I think you missunderstand me.    16-bit black and white --> problem with banding with iris blur and gaussian blur. 16-bit colour --> no problem with banding.   The images are in 16-bit mode, opened from 14-bit Nikon NEF files. The difference is in "black and white" mode vs colour. ... View more

Hej Fosse,   I use a Macbook Pro M1 laptop, did a quick search and that should be a 10-bit capable display. Also important to note is that if I do the blur when the same image is in 16-bit colour mode, there is no banding visible (so the display should be working).   In both cases the image looks black and white, since there is no colour in the actual image, but for some reason the fact that it processes in black and white seems to add banding. ...

Hej Jeff, thanks for the quick reply. Yes the "precise previews for 16-bit document" is checked. The issue also persists if I apply the blur effect to the image and view it outside of preview mode. ... View more

This is not solved. I did the fresh reinstall of Lightroom yesterday and then it worked on OSX. Now this morning I tried to run it again, and this time it failed the same way as befpre.

There was another thread where they mentioned that the reason for the crash was Photoshop not having access to the document folder on the Mac. I have not tried it, but in the System settings you might be able to give Photoshop access to the Documents folder. They said it would be fixed in the next version of Photoshop Beta. ... View more

The same thing happened to me. I was sitting editing photos and did the update, so used Time Machine to restore the previous verision.
