About ON1

For a decade and a half, we've provided award-winning software to millions of photographers worldwide. We accomplish this by being different than other photo software companies. We put you the photographer first, and this means our customers have complete control over every aspect of their photography.

Today, most mainstream software solutions take away control of your photography by locking away the organization and editing of your photos into closed systems. These solutions sort of hold your photos hostage by only allowing access to the tools and features you need as long as you pay up and stay within their system. You should have control of what’s yours, and what matters to you with your photography.

Our Mission

To deliver the tools you need to organize, edit, and share your photos and to provide professional quality image processing, the creativity you desire, the service you deserve, and to keep you in control of your photography.

I purchased/downloaded ON1 2024 today. I have a specific needs as far as batching goes. I will normally shoot an event in low light (high ISO 12K) with no flash. I was glad to hear ON1 can be set to recognize ISO levels. That’s really cool. I have been using Luminar AI a few years now and can batch dozens or hundreds of photos with adjustments for light, contrast, highlights, shadows, noise reduction AND the software will see all faces and brighten those so one or more faces are all better lit in each photo. On the topic of my event photos (high ISO shots), I started creating adjustments today of event photos to eventually save as a preset and came across one issue, that being the setting to adjust brightness of faces. I found in one photo of 3 people the adjustment only adjusted brightness for one of the 3 faces. I’m not sure how to make it adjust brightness of all faces in any given photo, then I noticed it see almost all the faces in a particular photo but I can only adjust brightness to one of many faces in a photo and that kinda sucks. This is key to processing. Overall though, the adjustments to the very yellow, high ISO shots so far looks really good, and noise reduction looks clean.

FYI, ON1 2024 crashed twice today, once while using it and just now as I was writing this!

Here’s another issue. I just opened the program after it crashed and went to a folder of RAW (Sony A7IV) files, opened one and it took 60-90 seconds to load. I noticed as I moved my pointer around, things would highlight on screen but I couldn’t do anything if tapping anything. Nothing wanted to work fully until after the photo was fully loaded. I then tapped on a preset, created a little while earlier and it also took almost 2 minutes to apply.

Why is it running slow? It is advertised as loading faster than previous versions etc. but I haven’t experienced that today.

I am on a MacBook Pro M2 Max (Sonoma 14.1) and am pretty much maxed on on computer power.Thanks guys!

Dan and Dylan answered a lot of questions except where we can get our hands on those nifty ON1 t-shirts. I like showing my product support in the Ts that I choose to wear, and I'd like to get a shirt like the one that Dylan was wearing.

[edcramer]

I’m having same problem as others that I can’t login. An error message appears saying to contact support. Then I tried using my 2023 app and I was logged out and can’t login to it either . Why launch a program that doesn’t work?

[niteline]

I'm having the same login issue too - It did not stop me from accessing the program though. I just clicked on the 30 day demo and will log in to license it after they fix the problem.
(Could not request off line keys to activate it either... That also errors out)

[herwarthaug]

I am also disappointed, because login after download of ON1 Photo RAW 2024 does not work. 😡
I haven't been this disappointed in a long time. 😢

Great Release, was testing from early beta, so much faster than 2023, a massive upgrade. Still a few customization features I would like to see, but they are insignificant compared to the performance boost we have got..

[mattfowlerkc]

Thanks for putting out videos like these. It’s great to get the info and tutorials directly from the source.

I had the opportunity to do some beta testing and like the direction you are going. The Brilliance AI feature is excellent. It’s a huge time saver.

I wish I could sign in. I’ve downloaded, installed, open application, checked out a few things and shut down. later started up and get an idiot message “return error code” for my email address that I’ve used for 100 years at ON1. Ran the NEW Application Manager (whatever piece of crap this is) ON1 2024 ran with request ffor sign in. Checked out a few more things and shut down. tried again to start but the same idiot error code. What a giant pain in the ass!. Contact support. LOL. No problem signing in to buy from ON1.

[marketaebert]

My reactions are mixed. I love the speed improvements but dislike the new interface. Hiding tool options just does not make sense and slows down my workflow. Same with disappearing the old Sync button - something I used all the time. Now I have to search the menus to accomplish something that took one click before. I tried the sync shortcut but it did not work. The menu option to bring back the legacy UI also did not work. Brilliance AI produces very over processed photos and there is no way to customize the tone slider beforehand. I usually try it and then turn it off and edit manually. The regions are useful though and some changes do make sense - like moving the masking options to the mask button. On the whole, I think the new upgrade is worth the money but with so many options hidden it's more frustrating to use.

[peterbusuttil]

Great video. Just one question - how does one access the Bespoke Effects Presets? Thanks,

[mariusm]

Didn't have any problems activating my new version.
The new UI is a challenge yet. Took me a while to find the masking options beyond the ai one. The change from many buttons to few only is quite drastic.
Looking good so far the new release 👍

[DannyFyffe]

I am slowly figuring things out with the new UI. I am old and slow so you may have to wait awhile. Brilliance AI does give my photos a start, but I got to get used to the new manipulation methods, but I believe it is better all around than 2023.5 which I personally liked. Please release a TON more videos even on how to do simple things. Slow down, talk slower and tell Dylan to start blinking. ;-)

I'm unable to log on to On1 Photo Raw 2024. I reset my password. Still can't log on as an owner.

[stevesharkey]

Interesting what you said about cataloging and scanning the directory and updating the catalogue- particularly on a nas. Have you ever contemplated having a stand-alone app that will just do this so it could be moved off the editing computer and scheduled to run “offline”?

[DalsPhotography]

Very interesting additing with the style Ai, I am still trying the new version, one thing that I have noticed are the. halos, please can you make a video, about how to treat those, specially for trees against busy backgrounds as well? A forest for example where we want to put some light and attention specially to one of the tree trunks.... It's very easy to overdo with thew newer tab dials. How to I make the layers pannel appear same as you have on this video? I only have NAV-History-Info and snapshots. I guess a good tutorial regarding preferences, is also necessary. Thanks to both and best from Uruguay, (Loyal customer since it was just ON1 )

[STACYBURK]

I'm still waiting for the day that ON1 gets good enough to take my top editor spot away from Lightroom, but it's still not quite there yet. It's still not as fast as LR, but it's a lot better than it was. As far as the Brilliance AI goes... I've run over 100 images through it and the Brilliance AI made most of them look worse. Some images, the Brilliance AI makes it look absolutely horrible with way over brightening and such. I messed around with the Brilliance AI in the Preferences, but it didn't help much. So far, the Auto button in LR gets my images to a much closer starting point. I had so much hope for the Brilliance AI... but I'm sadly disappointed. I'm still rooting for ON1 though because they are so personable and likeable.

[photobizmethod]

Love! Love! Thank you On1 and guys for the video

[GEORGEEEJ]

I really like my 2024 On1. I’ve been playing with it on a variety of images. I’m still learning, but the AI gets me to where I want the adjustments to be quickly. Now I just need to make minor adjustments to finish my editing. So much faster. I’m still learning but I’m very optimistic moving forward. I dumped LR years ago and I am grateful for On1.

[ianthirlwell]

If you select manual for scanning in the catalog properties how do you start the scan? I can't find this anywhere.

[RDJim]

Oh boy! Just purchased. Activation at start-up failed as did my attempt at obtaining offline activation codes. But weirdly, after 10 minutes and a support email later, I'm somehow in the app anyway.
FIRST QUESTION: Where is the icon for Dual Screen? Used to be at the bottom, now I only find in above under "View."
Second Question: How do I get the right bumper back? You mention it in this video but don't say how? Looked around but can't find that option.
Thanksj.
