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.

On1, to me, is a very big program, with lots of variables. I appreciate these instructional videos, they help a lot. Thank you.

[@ON1Photo]

You're very welcome!

[@budsurtees4224]

Sound advice. A lot of processed images tend to look unnatural and almost garish, and overprocessing is the reason why. Moderation is always better than excess.

[@ON1Photo]

Totally agree. Sometimes it's really easy to go overboard.

[@Goat.Herder]

Brilliant software, much better than LR and easy to use. My only niggle is that i find the zoom in to be a little laggy on my M2/8GB ram.

[@martineudall]

Useful tips especially the avoidance of over processing. Snapshots are really useful as a way of checking if anything has gone too far by going back to a previous snapshot to compare

[@ON1Photo]

Glad it was helpful!

[@Tanya99503]

I totally love on1

[@marleenvandam6931]

Thanks for these editing tips!

[@ON1Photo]

Happy to help!

[@marklaurendet1861]

Thanks for the very informative video
Could you do one just for the initial conversion from RAW in develop for the steps before individual tweaks are applied.
I dont think I am doing this first initial step very well before I go into local adjustments

[@ON1Photo]

Great suggestion!

[@vclparke]

I was surprised that you didn't mention the option of selecting and masking out the sky (with mask AI or copying the mask from sky swap AI) in the image where you were brightening the foreground while trying to retain contrast in the sky.

[@budsurtees4224]

Correct. I wondered about that too as it would be easier, particularly since the sly and the foreground were well defined and separated. I certainly would do it that way.

[@ON1Photo]

That's a great way to go about it, if you're using mask AI for local adjustments - modify the feathering of the mask to ensure the edges are blended
