Dramatically reduces your photo quality, creates vertical banding – Afterlight Photo Editor Review

Everything else is great, it's sleek and impressive for sure. But the fatal flaw is how bad your photo looks after applying more than a few adjustments. You'll start to see vertical banding/columns appear, where by the end of a photo I spent a lot of time editing, it looks like it's been processed through a toaster. I hope Afterlight addresses this, as sadly it's a dealbreaker. This doesn't happen on other apps that you can layer multiple adjustments in, like Snapseed. Two other functions where Snapseed has Afterlight beat: 1. Being able to mask and adjust opacity of your edits in past layers, and 2. Being able to adjust intensity of spot editing tools such as Dodge/burn.
