Cross Platform Photo Editor Photomator Adds AI-Powered Smart Deband Feature

Smart Deband allows you to remove color banding artifacts while increasing color depth with just a single click.


If you didn’t know, color banding appears as distinct band of color that go from one shade to another without blending smoothly. It often appears in low-quality photos with gradients or a vibrant gradient background.

The feature transform those color bands into smooth gradients. It will also enhance smaller gradient areas.

As an additional feature, Smart Deband will also increase the color depth to 16-bit, similar to a RAW image.

The feature is available in batch edit settings so you can apply the option to multiple photos at a time.

Along with Smart Deband, the Crop tool’s Straighten and Perspective sliders in version 3.1 will use decimals to display more precise values.

Smart Deband is just one of the multiple AI-powered features.

For example, you can automatically make subject, sky, and background selections with AI. It can also help you enhance photo, increase the resolution of image without any unwanted blurring, remove camera noise, repair small imperfections, and more.
