I have the original Pixelmator for the iPad and on the App Store it shows I need to pay.
I just noticed that and when I tried buying it ($3.99) it told me I had a prior version and allowed me to get this version for free.

Just bought it - the ML is really good at color correction- had a picture in poor light of a pink glitter wall that looked brown / yellow- it totally nailed the correction!!! ( picture taken on iPhone 12 Pro Max)

Also the “Super resolution “ is working REALLY well !! ( the picture is a 1000x zoom on a picture of a mushroom - iPhone 12 Pro Max )

I can confirm this.

I was pretty sure I had bought the app for iPad and still was showing as £3.49 for me, but when I “bought” it again, it showed a message saying the update was free because I own a previous version or something
