Photoshop: "bands" visible when using a soft brush
I am a webdesigner and I am recently experimenting a bit with lighting in layouts.

Now I have used a big soft brush for a bit of a light effect, but I get "bands" on the brush, as if it was an image saved with low quality.

You will see it if you look close enough, but when it is used in a layout, the bands actually grab more attention than in the single picture.

Is there any wrong settings I am using that make my quality worse?

Please note that how you see it in the picture is how it actually looks inside photoshop too.

I often get the same problem with gradients.

Thanks in advance!

(added are 2 images, one with a soft brush, and one with a soft brush with even lower opacity, where you can see the problem even better)
