How can I reduce the banding effects that show up on the web when I use gradient or lighting effects on a graphic?
(I use photoshop and am fairly new to illustrator) So if you know the solution using either programs. I'd greatly appreciate

There is also a pixel preview in the view menu that shows a pretty accurate representation of what your art will look like on the web
