I made this video about sudden banding in all images in Maya 2016. Shortly after completing this video, I discovered that the culprit was the new Color Management setting in Maya 2016. When you turn this off, all returns to normal.

Maya 2016 Color Management Issue

Yes when you look at the render view usually sRGB is default which will show the bending so you need to switch to the RAW view.
