Hi, All!

When working for M&S 2D Challenge i've expirienced some strange effect. When i've saved and reopened my working file, after 8 or 10 openings color transitions in saturated and dark areas becomes posterized and looks very unclear. I think it's slight effect and it's accumulated with every opening of file. Any ideas, why it happens and how i can avoid this?

You didn't say what format you were saving your file.
I haven't heard of this before when saving in RIF PSD or TIF, but if you are saving in JPG then it may be possible to have some degredation of the image perhaps due to the compression algorythm.

PSD file format, but i think problem related rather with CMS as file format itself.

Hey Pony_Art check this old CGtalk thread and see if this is what has been happening to you-

Smooth Transition problem (http://www.cgtalk.com/showthread.php?t=194882)

If it is I've experienced the same repeatable problem in Painter 9. In fact, I have stopped using it until a patch is issued. I'm putting together a package for Corel at this very moment to demonstrate what I mean.

I'll post it here when I'm done.

Yes, it's a same problem. Thanks for link!
Let me know, what they will answered, or if you need some more samples of corrupted images. :sad:

Pony_art send Rick Champagne at Corel your corrupted samples as well. See Jinbrown's #15 post on the Smooth Transition problem thread (http://www.cgtalk.com/showthread.php?t=194882) to see exactly what to send and who to contact.

I would encourage anyone who has the problem to notify Corel of it ASAP. That's the only way it will get fixed.
