However, when ON1 Photo RAW initially appeared I didn’t really like it. If you read my review of ON1 Effects 10 (which was a precursor of Photo RAW), then you know I really liked that piece of software.

But before you do, you need to forget LR and start with an open mind and use it how it was intended, not how you used LR.For some time now, I’ve been using ON1 Photo RAW (now version 2018) which is a RAW development and photo editing software from ON1 Inc. If you're wanting to ditch LR, I'd really recommend trying the trial.

For the next month, until the next update I will be using LR to import and catalog, but otherwise I am already doing everything exclusively in On1.

Shortly thereafter I was offered a year's 'Plus' membership for $49 which gets me the next full version on release, and a load of extra content and priority support and access to mentors. I ended up with the full software for $89 with a bunch of free presets and courses included. What helped was a good coupon that arrived some way into the trial - this might be a standard tactic, so I'd recommend using the trial awhile if you plan to buy. Personally, I don't care much since I always adjust manually, but it clearly doesn't have Adobe's polish here.įinally, this software won me over. Auto exposure, Auto WB, both come up with some crazy results at times. However, by cutting it a little slack in this area I found I didn't miss it that much, and there is a development push in this area right now, so I expect it to improve.įinally, it is weak in the area of 'auto' adjustments. The idea is to first browse and cull, then develop images one-by-one, not flit around.Ĭataloging is not up to LR's standards. When in develop mode, switching from image to image is equally slow. Switching from browse to effects or develop modes is much slower than LR. No soft proofing - again planned for the next update It does have its downsides though:Ĭurrently no import process, so copying files is done externally, no renaming or keywording on import, etc - however this is being added in the next update.

Perpetual licenses.this is a major pro for me.Īll in all, it is extremely capable. Layers - proper Photoshop style layer editing, including powerful layer masks Perfect Eraser works to remove spots and unwanted objects very well. Local adjustments - these are great, far exceeding LR's capabilities. HDR & Pano - inbuilt modules that work super-quick and very well, again eliminating external software. These have all but eliminated my use of Nik plugins - although these are compatible if you want. Along with this come hundreds of presets, with more available to download, free and paid. It all works pretty well.Įffects - This is really it's strongest suit, with a huge array of 'filters' for everything from B&W to Glow and Grunge. It IS fast, sure, but not massively faster than LR, however you can blaze through the most tedious process painlessly.ĭevelopment - It has all the basic tools I used in LR, plus haze reduction. During this time I found some bits I really loved, being:įast browsing and culling - they make a big deal of this. After that I gave it a bit more of an open-minded try. Since then, their support have recognised the lens bug, and promised a fix in the next release (in a month), which incidentally includes some additional features which addresses other issues I had. It failed on a couple of major counts, being a lack of import process and a lack of LR-style collections. After trying the demo for a few days, I initially gave up on it after encountering a persistent bug with it failing to identify any of my lenses and, frankly, my own issues trying to crowbar it into my LR-based workflow. I have been back and forth on this for some time. Good value, well featured, layers, user driven development, perpetual licensesīuggy in places, lens support patchy, not quite as polished as LR
