I'd say we've solved the mystery. Thank you all for the contribution, you are really a fantastic community!

Thank you all for contributing to the conversation. I took the advice of and tried developing the photo directly from the camera. I did not apply any kind of correction. The image is less contrasty and the bands seem less visible to me especially in the clouds. Near the sun I seem to perceive some but I don't want it to be induced...I've been thinking about it all day! EDIT: after uploading to the forum the bands are much more visible! I added a wetransfer link with the original file https://we.tl/t-BVyEHVwcNh

Hello Harrym and thank you! Absolutely, I'll upload the raw file here and the project so you can try it! I've noticed that the bands appear in other images too, but they are much less visible. The thing that leaves me doubtful is that I didn't notice them when I used photoshop, but I don't think there can be a big difference. Let me know! Ah accurate and I admit I use a MacBook Pro 13 but the screen has never been calibrated so it's like factory. _MG_9817.CR2 Alba.afphoto

Thank you for your suggestion! I have tried all the proposed solutions but the problem persists! I would like to add that even trying on a colleague's photoshop, both exporting to jpg and saving to web, the color bands appear. I think that it is the characteristics of the image that cause the problem. As suggested, saving it in tiff instead the bands disappear and the image is perfect! Sharing it on the web keeps the bands coming back. I'll just keep it to myself hehe

Thank you for your help! I hope someone can enlighten me!

Thank you BofG! I tried to export both in adobe rgb 1998 and in srgb but I didn't notice any difference between the two images. I also tried not including the ICC profile and the bands were less visible but the image was obviously too desaturated and dull. To be honest I've tried a lot of setting but no difference where visibile.

Hello everyone, my name is Federico and I have been a happy user of the Affinity suite for a few days. I'm experiencing a problem that I can't solve when I export my pictures...I've searched on google and here on the forum but I haven't found a solution. If I open my raw image (from Canon 6D mark1) in development and then work it as a file in 16 bit and adobe rgb color format everything is fine. The image is clear and has no defects. But if I then export it to jpg I find myself with annoying bands of color in the finest transitions. I have tried various export settings but the problem persists. The only current solution that works is to export the image to PNG which in itself I don't think is a bad thing but I go from an 8 megabyte jpg to an 80 megabyte PNG! Is anyone experiencing the same problem? Or am I using the wrong export method? (I was used to photoshop). I attach some images where I hope you can see the difference between jpg and pgn. Thanks a lot to everyone for the help and forgive my english!
