Lojza Posted February 10, 2016 Posted February 10, 2016 It seems, there is some bug in the algorithm, that draws gradients. Please, see the screenshot. There's clearly a lighter line in the position of blue color, which I believe should not be there. It seems that the "white to blue" part starts fading before the blue color occurs in the line. The fade from blue to black is correct. This is just one concrete example, but such gradient flaws seem to occur evertime when at least 3 colors that make strong enough contrast are used. It also occurs in other types of gradients. No settings affect this behavior (display quality, gradient dithering...). Is there a way how to fix it? Am I doing something wrong?

retrograde Posted February 10, 2016 Posted February 10, 2016 I have been noticing this in linear gradients as well. Not sure when it started but it is definitely noticeable. There are some "jumps" evident at the start and beginning of these gradients. This is with MAS version 1.4.1. http://www.kevincreative.com https://www.behance.net/kevincreative https://dribbble.com/kevincreative https://www.instagram.com/kevincreative/
evtonic3 Posted February 10, 2016 Posted February 10, 2016 I agree gradients are obviously not smooth.
retrograde Posted February 10, 2016 Posted February 10, 2016 Yeah, something must've changed as it's part AD's selling point... super smooth gradients. http://www.kevincreative.com https://www.behance.net/kevincreative https://dribbble.com/kevincreative https://www.instagram.com/kevincreative/
Gear maker Posted February 11, 2016 Posted February 11, 2016 I'm curious, I saw this a few weeks ago on my drawing and if I remember right I took the color checker eyedropper and swept it across the gradient and the RGB readout did not show the light band being there. Have you tried this? I remembered this this was weird. iMac (27-inch, Late 2009) with macOS Sierra
retrograde Posted February 11, 2016 Posted February 11, 2016 Hi MEB, any insight on the gradient smoothness situation? It's showing up in my transparency tool work as well... http://www.kevincreative.com https://www.behance.net/kevincreative https://dribbble.com/kevincreative https://www.instagram.com/kevincreative/
vonBusing Posted February 14, 2016 Posted February 14, 2016 I have also seen this lines in gradients, wondering what I was doing wrong.
