This is quit late, but here is a very interesting side note. I have been doing a deep dive into cinematic photography. Roger Dekins has been a huge source in this effort. Both Roger and his wife are strong advocates of sharing and teaching. In a UA-cam video I recently watched, he talks about his first job as A cinematographer on the movie 1984. The director, Michael Radford wanted to film it in black-and-white. The studio said no, they wanted it in color. After lots of experimenting they decided on using film bleach bypass to give them something in-between. This gave the film a strong unique look. In ON1 this seems close to the strong preset.
So much to look at and check out in On1. Glad to have these tutorials to introduce me to something new. Will definitely check this out in my New Orleans urban shots . Thanks again for great learning tutorials. And please don't forget us On1 2021 subscribers.
Great video Scott. I especially like your ON1 videos. I tried the Bleach Bypass Filter on a few scanned 35mm negatives (TIFFs) and it helped bring out more detail. I am a hobbyist photographer and mostly edit travel photos-landscape and architectural. I started editing photos with Corel Paint Shop Pro X2 in 2007, then incorporated Raw Therapee into my workflow, and finally bought Adobe Lightroom (non-subscription) in June 2018. In June 2019, I bought ON1 2019 and Luminar 3. I have come to love ON1 and all the Effects Filters and masking options that have saved a lot of photos. I have continued to buy upgrades for ON1 (ver. 2020, 2021). ON1 is closer to Adobe Lightroom with photo management (dates, lenses used, keyword, number, star and color ratings) and the ON1 masking and Effects Filter options exceeds that in Lightroom. The one major problem I continue to encounter with ON1 is the (still) slow EXPORT function compared to Lightroom…probably because of the need to process Effects Filters and Local Adjustments. ON1 has met just about all my needs for editing photos….RAW, JPG and digitized 35mm negatives (TIFFs). I did not purchase Luminar 4 or AI upgrades…partially, because of masking (edge recognition), but also lack of a photo management function…though it was planned for “future releases”, they seem to have dropped the idea completely. And though Luminar 4 had “instant sky replacement”, it wasn’t enough to sway me to purchase the upgrade (or now AI).
Hi, Scott - Another use for the Bleach Bypass filter is in B&W conversion. After basic Develop, in Effects I start with Dynamic Contrast, then Color Enhancer followed by Bleach Bypass and then the B&W filter. This gives me tons of selective control over the tones in my conversion.
Thanks, Scott. I haven't used this filter much, probably lack of understanding. It's an interesting filter, and with this bit of information, I'll be experimenting with it. Great video!
This got me wondering. I have ON1PR but rarely think to use it (do everything in LR and PS) but with all the filters, I should try it more. So my question would be this: What are your favorite filters for landscape shots in ON1PR? Are there five or so that you find yourself using most often? If I had an idea which ones to try first, I think it would prompt me to use it more. I even thought that might be a good topic for a video if you get locked in and can't get out for awhile.
Hi Philip ... It's been a few years since I did a "favorites filter" list for ON1. Adding it to my idea board for a future video. In brief, Dynamic Contrast, Color Adjustment, Sunshine/Glow, Vignette, and Local Adjustments (the Swiss army knife for corrections, dodge/burn, etc.)
Hi Mark ... these sliders prevent a given filter or adjustment from affected the highlights/midtones/shadows (skin is roughly equivalent to midtones). You could think of them as quick forms of luminosity masking, without having to dig into the masking tools.
I recently saw an old video of yours converting an image in ON1 to a pencil drawing look. I've seen photographers this last year editing in Photoshop and making their images look more like watercolor paintings. Does ON1 2021 have that capability? If it does could you demonstrate that? Thanks for videos. I did purchase and went through your ON1 Photo Raw Essentials 8th Edition E book and it has helped me especially in knowing how to turn on side cars and do a presets for metadata and importing. Thanks!
Hi Patty ... I recall that video. The same technique will work in Photo RAW 2021. There is nothing specific about the software version. There is also nothing specific added to 2021 to simulate a sketch look or make it faster to do otherwise. :)
Nothing that directly does a “painterly” look. Off the cuff, might try mixing more white in with selected colors (color range masks will help) to get a pastel feel to the image. Then perhaps a slight blur?

Interesting story ... thanks for sharing that, Craig.

I'll need to give that a try. Thanks for the tip, Stu!

Sure thing, John. It’s not an everyday filter for most, yet like all filters it has its place.
I use this “in camera” filter on my K1 all the time.
Didn't know some cameras had this as an in-camera style. Cool!

" You have your gear menu, use it" I cannot find the gear menu in 2025 with bleach bypass
Blending options moved into the floating masking panel (there's a 'Blending' tab)
Thanks Scott! Would you explain what the protection filters are for? Haven't used them yet. I'll definitely be trying this filter in the future.

@@ScottDavenport Can one simulate a water color effect on ON1?

@@ScottDavenport Thanks!
One of my least favorite filters On1, Nik or Alien skin !!
To each their own, right, Moises :)
