Sparsing Gradient

Not sure what else to call it.

I accidently acquired this cool effect and now I have no idea how I did it. :P

Basically I have a gradient and normally the gradient is -- well very fine grained. I somehow saved the images and the background gradient became less grained so there were almost bars of different but related colors instead of a fine gradient.

Anyone know how I might accomplish something like this? I have tried saving image as a lower resolution image. It didn't work that well

Yes, it will definately be something to do with the number of colours your allowing in the saved image

Yeah, it's not the resolution, it's the number of colors. Also, re-saving a .jpeg image, especially with a higher compression, will tend to do that.
