I'm noticing in CS4 PS when stretching out the histogram using curves/levels etc, that the image gets a little bit "posterised" in the display. I remember Paul "[1ponders]" showing us some editing tricks up at Astrofest and when he flattened the image, the posterising disappeared and the image looked much better.

But flattening kills all of the nice adjustment layers and other layering that you might have done along the way.

Is there another way to get rid of that posterised look so you can see a more realistic representation of what you're getting? I keep an eye on the histogram, but it's always nice to see results realtime.

Haven't tried it yet, but wonder if that "stamping" makes it look better.
