![]() ![]() I tried this on several different subjects including foliage, flowers, birds, and the hair on portraits, and it worked every time. You paint with a wide brush around the borders of an area you want to mask, and ON1 automatically identifies what it is you are selecting and masks that area. I think ON1 is now an industry leader in this area. That’s something a lot of masking tools struggle with. By brushing over entire areas where the mask hasn’t been automatically applied, the brush tool is able to differentiate between, say, tree branches and the sky behind. I can envisage that other subjects will be added to this in the future.Īnother superb feature that can be used in conjunction with that and found in the Edit module is the refine brush. This is in addition to the options that already exist for masking architecture, manmade ground, and people. The Mask AI has new options that help it automatically choose the background or foreground. It does a solid job of this and, consequently, allows you to enlarge small jpegs using the AI Resize tool. The noise reduction tool can now also remove JPEG artifacts. However, I could bring this back by adjusting the mask. It has removed the black speckles on the photo's degrading emulsion from the face, but it automatically tried to remove the lettering on the hat. No other restoration has been carried out yet. The following photo shows an otherwise unedited photo of one of my ancestors showing the effect of the Face Recovery tool. In some photos, the initial results I found were a little too heavily applied, but it is easy to get just the right amount by pulling back the smoothness slider. I gave it a try on some photos I had fixed recently, and it did a far better job than I had been able to achieve before using Photoshop, and my clients had been over the moon with what I had provided. ![]() That is a tool I will use from now on when I am restoring photos for clients. They take faded photographs shot on poor-quality film cameras and improve them to look like they were shot with top-of-the-range lenses. I’ve been trying this feature on some of those that I had scanned, and the results are amazing. I recently inherited a lot of very old photos. Resize AI has noise reduction built-in, using the same tech as ON1 NoNoise, so you can probably accomplish your work just in Resize in one step. ![]() When used in conjunction with NoNoise, it can produce clean, sharp portraits even from old, out-of-focus, grainy photos. One incredible new feature is Face Recovery, which is part of Resize AI. Tack Sharp AI and NoNoise AI give immediate, full-screen previews. It makes the need for cameras with huge pixel counts pretty much redundant. Using this feature, you can produce huge, sharp, noise-free images from relatively small files. Local applies local color and tone adjustments.ON1 has a long history of expertise in portrait enhancement tools. Portrait, unsurprisingly, edits portraits.There is a plethora of presets that you can use here, many more are downloadable online, and you can create your own.That accurately enhances contrast using individual sliders that target micro-contrast, moderate contrast, and large-scale contrast. Meanwhile, others are unique, such as borders, sun flare, weather, and, one I use a lot, dynamic contrast. Some of these will be familiar to Photoshop users, such as blur, black and white, channel mixer, curves, split tone, etc. Effects is a layered and masked special effects tool. It works by stacking fully adjustable filters, of which there are over 30.Develop is a raw development tool that gives outstanding results.You can also apply color tags, star ratings, and flags to help sort and cull your images.Ĭataloged folders in the Browse module. By searching for keywords, filenames, and so forth, you can find the pictures you are looking for. In fact, you can import the Lightroom catalog data into ON1, so migrating is easy when you choose to divorce from Adobe.įor those readers who are unfamiliar with how catalogs work, bringing your photos into the catalog is worthwhile, as it allows you to quickly find the photos. However, it also has a catalog that works similarly to Lightroom. The Browse Module does as its name suggests. ON1 Photo Raw Is Split Into Different Modules You navigate around the program by jumping between modules. Worthy of reminder, though, is the AI-based noise reduction (NoNoise AI) that leaves Adobe’s recent effort out of the ballpark in speed and accuracy, especially when coupled with the Tack Sharp AI that removed blur from an image. There are previous reviews of this software on Fstoppers, so I won’t go through a full description of its functionality. ![]() ON1 Photo Raw’s Functionality Briefly Explained ![]()
