If you have semi-transparent glows/shadows you will get that Andrew – to combat it put the layer/layer effect on multiply or screen – that should sort it out for you!

When working in CMYK my outer glow gradients desaturate towards the edges this also happens when using blurs and other similar filters. Is there any solution to this.

Humph – apart from adding noise to break up the banding – really you need to make your gradient smaller – very large gradients can suffer from banding.
