The update also brings major photo browser improvements, letting you manage your photos, albums, and folders with even more ease.
Smart Deband
• Using the powerful new Smart Deband feature, you can now remove color banding artifacts from photos saved using lossy compression formats and increase their color depth, bringing them to a near-RAW quality.

• With the new Smart Deband action available in the batch editing settings, you can now deband and increase the color depth of multiple photos at a time.
Major Photo Browser Improvements
• Manage your albums and folders even more easily with quick options for creating, deleting, renaming, reordering, and more.

• Quickly copy and paste photos in albums, or copy and paste photos from Photos and Files apps.
• You can now seamlessly navigate between photos with arrow keys using the iPad keyboard.
• Find even more keyboard shortcuts available on your iPad. Press the Command-R keyboard shortcut to revert edits, the Command-D keyboard shortcut to duplicate a photo, the Space key to quickly open a photo, and more.
