Thanks for explaining this on my humble level.

I've converted from 16 to 8-bit PNG with IC, but have seen little change
(still banding). I'll try 3.7 and OpenEXR next. Otherwise changing the sky in an
outside application might be an option that just came to mind. Maybe I can
achieve a little less banding with that. So you might hear from me again, or not
:-)

Very gratefull for all the quick replies.
