What features would you like to see in Pixelmator Pro?

Denoise, noise reduction effects, similar to camera RAW noise reduction would be great!
I prefer CAMERA RAW noise reduction over the standard filters used by other image editors, as they give you a lot of control and but are easy to use.

Very cool. There are several companies out there offering this as a standalone feature. So if it's really good this could be a reason to buy Pixelmator Pro.

Let me add to that request for noise reduction. I shoot for a pro music magazine and sometimes have to push to really hi ISO.
Now thing I love about Pixelmator is I edit with C1 and on1 raw 2019 and Pixelmator speedwise blows them away.

Im hoping a dropper tool comes also for white balance and maybe more special effects or plug ins for making cinematic colors etc. Otherwise, Great Jog!!

Hey Gary, we're still working on this. It probably goes without saying but we've got really high standards for quality and we don't want to release something that's around the same level as other products, we always aim higher. So with noise reduction, we're aiming to create the best denoise tool possible, which preserves quality and sharpness while removing all noise as flawlessly as possible. That's quite a tricky task and our machine learning servers have been toiling away for a while now, but this is most definitely still on the roadmap.

What kind of a dropper tool are you looking for in the white balance adjustment, by the way? Something other than gray point?

Just grey, one question though, is there a work around when I’m dealing with multiple photos that I need to cull where I can open multiple images, see them at a usable size to pick out the ones I want then start editing instead of finishing a photo then closing it then opening another one and trying to see what it looks like so I can decide if I really want to edit it or not

Hi Andrius,

That's really great that you are aiming high and only release a product or feature of it is ready. I agree to this. I am really keen on this one, do you have a kind of a lease date in mind? Like 2 to 3 months?

Making promises isn't a great idea because even if the tool itself is close to being ready to test, for example, a whole host of things can get in the way of its release. So, as frustrating as it is, know that we're doing our best. :stuck_out_tongue: And some other great things are getting close to release. That's probably the best way to avoid disappointment!

Sure if it is not ready its not worth releasing also false promises. Keep up your great work.

By the way, dunno if you saw, but here’s one of those cool things we’re working on for one of the next few updates: https://twitter.com/pixelmator/status/1 ... 73121?s=21

Hi, I just updated my Pixelmator to 1.5.3, hoping to denoise images.
I still don't see the denoise option.

The help menu tells me to go to Format > Color Adjustments > ML Denoise or use Ctrl+Shift+D.

But the keyboard command does nothing, and there is no "ML Denoise" option under "Color Adjustments".

How can I access the denoise feature?

Thanks,Shraddha

ML Denoise is available on macOS Mojave and above, is it possible you might be using High Sierra?

Yes, we'd also love to bring ML Denoise to Pixelmator Photo. It's in our plans for the future. :wink:

Still in our plans — currently working on bringing ML Super Resolution to the iPad. :pray:

Bump - removing noise is a big need please. Strange you would put in ML stuff before something like reducing noise.
Is there any roadmap we are able to use to anticipate new features please?

Is this about Pixelmator Photo? Because a denoise feature (ML Denoise) is already available in Pixelmator Pro and this thread is about Pixelmator Pro.

However, if we're talking about Pixelmator Photo, then this is most definitely still in our plans — ML Denoise was probably a higher priority than ML Super Resolution, but plans can change. And in this case, a roadmap may have come across as misleading. :wink:
