true at that, and it took me more than a day to even clean it up to that extent, cleaning it further loses it's details and thats bad ._. though i've been watching some animes a few hours ago and i remembered about FFDShow's deband option, it works wonders and i wonder if it could apply to paint.net as well.

but all the sharpness was lost in the process, i need something that dithers it. this is the best i could do to fix it, but the color banding is still there.

the right part is awfully banded. if i'm not being clear then heres another example, though this one is of my creation using posterization. the upper part is heavily banded while the lower part has a smooth transition, which is what i'm aiming for.

is there any tool/plugin that can fix color banding? i'm having troubles fixing heavily banded pictures. sorry for the troubles.
