Has anyone ever tried to do very subtle radial blurs or gradients in Photoshop?
I'm doing some now on a file I'm using as a background for a poster and the gradients look like a lot of concentric circles (quite obvious).
Is there anything I can do about it or is it the case that it will not print like this and I don't need to worry?

yeah i just came across the same problem. I can tell you in a few days whether it prints.. eeek!!

you could add a verysmall amount of noise to the offending layer/

Try using the gradient tool instead of the gradient overlay effect, it seems to be smoother for some reason?

Sorry is it like this when you print it out or on screen?

what about a slight gaussian blur?

On print or screen?
What's your resolution?
Have you tried adding a bit of noise to your gradient?

Its on screen at the moment, A3 300 dpi (not printed it yet) and its a series of blurred edges etc that are very subtle. When they are 100% opacity they look fine, but when they are toned down I start to see a load of concentric circles just wondering if it will print like this?
I've added a bit of noise and it helps a little, but my image is starting to look too noisy now! haha
- try adding a bit of noise to the offending channel...._me_

could be just an onscreen problem

rule one of print design:
Never trust your screen

noise + gaussian blur = win

Like Dancer, Baskerville and others say - don't just trust your screen.
Do an A4 print test and I'm sure you'll see all the offending circles disappear - let us know how you get on.

maybe do the radial blurr then run a small gaussian blurr?

instead of radial blur, try duplicating the layer, set to 50% opacity and then rotate it by super tiny degree (like 0,1 maybe). repeat this several times.
