    • Introducing Smoother Gradients with Dither

    No more banding in your blends! The new Dither option helps you create smoother, more natural-looking gradients—perfect for polished designs across screen and print, especially for gradients with colour stops having very little colour difference between them

    How it works

    You’ll find Dither in both the Gradients panel & the Control bar. If you want to retain vector editing capabilities when exporting as PDF, make sure to select “Preserve Illustrator Editing Capabilities.”Experiment with Dither in your gradients and let us know what you think - your feedback helps us make the workflow "smoother".


    Kindly try this in our Latest Beta Builds 30.0.21.

    YES! Exactly! I have noticed an increased gradient banding on the latest update. :( It has not been this noticeable before. On all color modes as well. Has some setting changed with the update, that I can reset or change?
    Please let us know when this is addressed.
    For our large format graphics company, this can cost us a lot of time. (having to correct the banded gradients in Photoshop before output)
    Illustrator is great! (let's keep it it that way)
