I started having a problem with my feathering not being smooth. When applying a vignette to a portrait the feathered result looks more like a topographical map than nice smooth transitions. I have tried every possible combination in "Refine Edge", and this seems to have started the same time that Bridge started locking up on me. I have been seeing this on my finished portraits when they come back from the lab – so it isn’t my display .

I am using PS CS3 on an XP lap top.

Thanks…

Anything with color profiles and Gamma perhaps? Or something with exposure for RAW files and 32bpc modes? Blendmodes? Adjustment layers? Not sure, but sounds nasty. Do older files, created before the mishap look okay? In what color modes, bit depths and with what file formats are you working?
