Photoshop gradient pull Outstanding belt solution

What is a "ribbon"?

With regard to "ribbons", many people mistakenly think that the video card problem or display problem, on other devices will disappear, in fact, this is wrong, the ribbon is in the gradient due to the color colors value difference too small to produce a stripe, usually the closer the color, the more unified hue, the more obvious the color belt, the following is a group of gray gradient, It is obvious that a gradient with a similar color produces a larger ribbon, whereas conversely it becomes smaller and more numerous.

So how do we deal with this phenomenon, Photoshop provides us with a very convenient way to solve most of the problem, that is, "imitation color."

Many people do not understand the use and principle of imitation color, in fact, is very simple, imitation color is actually the original gradient for a transition, the following is a check imitation color effect:

You can see the ribbon phenomenon has disappeared, but for the color value is very close to the gradient will produce noise in the transition process, this time can be a Gaussian blur, the problem is solved ~

There are three forms of gradients in Photoshop, the gradient tool, the gradient fill, the gradient style, and the following three comparisons based on three different gradient forms:

There is a slight difference between the "imitation" feature in the three gradient options
