Pixelmator Pro gets a magical, AI-powered Deband feature

This year has been packed full of fantastic Pixelmator Pro updates
and we're wrapping it up with a bang. Today, we're releasing
Pixelmator Pro 3.2.3 with a groundbreaking new feature called Deband,
which lets you remove posterization and compression artifacts from
images with just a click. And, to top it all off, we're getting
festive with a collection of gorgeous, holiday-themed templates for
social media, print, and more.

Deband

Color banding (or posterization) is a common type of image artifact
especially noticeable in low-quality photos featuring gradients or
large areas of solid color. Instead of smoothly blending together,
colors jump abruptly from one shade to the next, forming distinct
bands of color. While posterization isn't particularly difficult to
get rid of -- you can blur it out or add noise to hide it -- it is very
much a labor-intensive task. Or, it was. With the magic of machine
learning, we've been able to turn color debanding into an effortless,
one-click process. And the results are simply incredible!

We've trained the Deband algorithm to intelligently analyze colors,
gradients, and textures in images, determine where the affected areas
are, and seamlessly smooth them out without touching finer details in
other parts of the image. Notice how all the tiny stars in the desert
photo above remain crisp after color banding is removed. What's more,
Deband also tackles different compression artifacts (in heavily
compressed JPEGs, for instance) so you can enjoy all-around
better-looking images.
