Hello there!....
(Please, read the whole description)
Probably a lot of GTA V players have experienced this disgusting and annoying artifact, called "Banding".
Banding is when colours represented in computer graphics are not following a smoother transition between tonalities, including games, resulting in ugly and contrasting color strips, instead of one soft, eye-candy gradient.
-Here some examples in-game:

Basically, it is caused because the lack of a dithering feature, which, sadly, was not implemented by Rockstar in the game, and it alyaws have been present, since Xbox 360 - PS3 versions. Some users might try increasing their monitor brightness, but that is not a real fix, and all the environment and surrounding objects are affected.
You can say: "But dude, SweetFX already has a that!" Yes, but it does not reduce gradient banding, it prevent the game from creating additional artifacts, and it´s not very efficient, sometimes it works, but most of the times it has no visible effect. However, i recommend to use both at the same time, SweetFX + my mod.
This little enhancement will fix the 99.9% of the banding issues in the game, injecting a considerable amount of dithering, filling all the environment with grain, preventing gradients from "having power there". And it keeps the image quality at 99 percent(because very subtle noise).
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Feature(s):
-Fixed color banding in dark areas, nightfall-night time, and during foggy, smog, snow and blizzard weathers.
- No FPS drops
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Notes:
-For some strange reason, the quality of the screenshots was greatly decreased when exported, even those captured with Rockstar Editor, but in game, banding will be totally unnoticeable.
-Some of the images looks "dirty" because i increased the noise intensity, reducing even more the gradient borders.
- I will release an update soon, adding new different options for all tastes! Also comparison pictures.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Installation:
-With Open IV, go to mods/update/update.rpf/common/data/timecycle/timecycle_mods_1.xml, extract the file to some
random location, open with any text editor and search this line:
modifier name="nextgen" numMods="5" userFlags="0"
-Add below:
0.075 0.000
0.000 0.001
Same with:
modifier name="NG_first" numMods="11" userFlags="0"
-Add below:
0.075 0.000
0.000 0.001
---------------------------------------------------------------------
I decided to just include a readme, because editing the file is extremely easy, just a few lines must be added, and since many users have graphic mods installed, replacing the file will make them to lose their custom graphic mods :)
Your eyes will be eternally grateful with this, and they won't "bleed" anymore!

I've never seen that problem before, it can be related to shadow distance. Read the @LeeC2202 comments to know how this works.
@LanGonCer9807 Works well. Nice find.
Nice work!
@Cass Thank you for support me leaving a comment!
Great job man! The banding was terrible, especially in foggy weather. I've been looking for a solution for months. Definitely deserves 5 stars!
@DiGiTaL DOPE It was really annoying.
How to how to make with visualv because i dont have this line numMods="5" userFlags="0"> please.
@Chef for Visualv you need to modify and add this to the line 5 (wich is <modifier name="nextgen" numMods="0" userFlags="0" />):
<modifier name="nextgen" numMods="5" userFlags="0" />
<postfx_noise>0.075 0.000</postfx_noise>
<postfx_noise_size>0.000 0.001</postfx_noise_size>
</modifier>
@yeahmantiptap Ok i must to add the line ok thank you so much !!
@Chef shit I forgot to came here, after that I add these lines my game crashed so dont add this !
I'll try with <modifier name="nextgen" numMods="0" userFlags="0" />), leaving 0
but i can add theses lines ? <postfx_noise>0.075 0.000</postfx_noise>
<postfx_noise_size>0.000 0.001</postfx_noise_size>
</modifier>
@LanGonCer9807 funciona de miedo, es fantástico, sólo que mis FPS caen en picado cuando hay niebla
Not working on VisualV : banding persisting with preset on the readme
<modifier name="nextgen" numMods="0" userFlags="0">
<postfx_noise>0.075 0.000</postfx_noise>
<postfx_noise_size>0.000 0.001</postfx_noise_size>

Listing to vapor wave and looking at your screen shots really takes me to another place
This isn't a mod, this is a tutorial. why didn't you add the file?
@LanGonCer9807 I've left you a private message on the forums.
@LanGonCer9807 Is the Dthering only on the Streetlights? or in the Main World to?

"easy to install" ??? Are you kidding?
