Regardless of what you might believe, Sculpt DOES generate 24bit files.  
 
Since you point out that it says it does in the manual, but you also noticed
the banding, why don't you take the time to read the note for the framebuffer
driver?!
 
It plainly states that DITHERING is turned off when generating 24bit images,
because they don't think you need it.  Since I too have seen the banding,
there obviously IS a need for dithering...but it is in 24bits.
 
I agree that Byte by Byte is a pretty lame company.  I don't think they
deserve an Amigan's business since they've obviously forgotten we exist.
