The user interface takes some getting used to, but it has gone from quite obscure to reasonably well. Especially if you shoot in jpg format, i.e. The effects bit and the non-destructive, layered workflow is that $ 69 more than worth imo. ON1 also has a very nice resizing/upscaling engine and it is quite good in retouching portraits. My workflow is, do everything in LR to perfect the image and then move it to ON1 for finishing touches and creative retouching (if the image needs that of course). effects) is quite good and I use a couple of filters such as the tonal enhancement and dynamic contrast quite often once the image is converted in LR. So I never use it for raw conversion purposes. In the due course of never versions, it has improved a lot but it is still not up to the same level as the others imo. The conclusion was obvious, the raw conversion had less resolution compared to the likes of Lightroom of Capture One. When it first came out, Bart and I have done extensive tests of the raw conversion engine, which to me is the most important aspect of a raw converter program. I have had ON1 photo raw already from the beginning so let me tell you how I see it. You do need the same elegance in your computer and trust me, every sinew in your body will benefit! Hamburgers and diet cola are fine and girls with breasts enlarged in Photoshop can be attention-getting, but a “cordon bleu” steak, Chateu Neuf Du Pape, wine and my favorite genuine 27 year old muse for company makes for a far better evening! If there was a fly, it would be identified and rebuilt perfectly, if it indeed works as promised! You could enlarge it to 60” widexand your eyes 6-10” from the print, you will be able to see the perfect hairs around theceyes and the amazing Forrest of colors in its enlarged, (rebuilt-perfectly), irises! In addition, with 12 MP digicam and the new Topaz AI software one can print 60” wide version of your happy Texas Longhorn shot that I love so much. So a simple $400 camera can do much that expensive system can do. Same with bracketing for exposure or focus stacking to build an entire rare insect as a fabulous delight that demands everyone’s attention. One advantage, Doug, is that one can carry one 50 mm lens, for example and capture overlapping adjacent pictures and then have the same quality as an expensive super wide angle lens. In any event, I would be interested to hear from any of the members who have had experience with ON1 Photo RAW (even if earlier versions). So my learning curve of ON1 may be slower than for folks having experience with one or the other of those applications. I almost never use Photoshop, and when I do, it is a fairly ancient version I have never used Lightroom. I suspect that its usage paradigm will in many ways somewhat parallel those of Photoshop and Lightroom. I have ON1 (as I will call it from here on) installed, but have not yet done much with it. (Perhaps there is also some kind of subscription that gives you updates beyond the "free" ones.) My fascination has been especially piqued by the fact that through 2019.03.28, we can buy the product (plus a bundle of do-dads whose value I will not try and assess) for USD 69.99.Īlthough one review referred to a USD 99 annual fee, the publisher's site makes it quite clear (once you find it) that there is no such thing you buy the product and get a perpetual license. It is available for both Mac and Windows platforms. I have been fascinated by ON1 Photo RAW (now at version 2019.2), an extensive photo editing and image management software package.
