I wasn't aware of it until I looked into it. Now I know what it is and what causes it, I can take steps to prevent it. A good solution is to re-do the image. Saving a single file multiple times will eventually chip away at the quality and cause banding. If you have the original, straight-from-the-camera show (e.g. the RAW file or even the original JPEG) then use that each time you need to save. Don't save, quit, open the modified file and repeat. Might also want to look at increasing the resolution or quality on your camera if this is a frequent issue. Other solution is to buy a new camera if you're serious about taking good shots ;) I recently had a few images rejected from iStockPhoto because of banding.
