New Sky Swap AI — Automatically detects the sky in photos and creates a mask. Select from one of the over 100 included skies or import your own. You have complete control over the mask used to blend the sky and can use the masking tools you are already familiar with to adjust it as needed. You can adjust the sky to blend better with your foreground, even blur the sky to simulate a long exposure. Not only does it replace the sky, but it will adjust the foreground lighting and color and add a reflection of the sky to water found in the foreground. You can even copy and paste to other layers for ultimate control.

New Time-Lapse Creation — The New time-lapse creation dialog can quickly create time-lapse videos from still photo sequences. You can preview your results right in the dialog and create quick proof versions or high-quality final results. It detects when the camera is bumped and can filter out misaligned frames. It also detects changes in exposure and can even them out automatically, making day to night videos possible. Finally, you can increase or decrease the speed to stretch out short sequences into longer, smooth videos.

Integration of ON1 NoNoise AI — ON1’s powerful, AI-based noise removal is now built into the core raw processing in ON1 Photo RAW. You can use it on the fly and non-destructively, just like any other raw processing adjustment—no need to create intermediate DNG or TIF files.

New Photoshop Plugin Host — You can now run plugins made for Adobe Photoshop right inside ON1 Photo RAW. If you have been collecting plugins for years, now you can access them and what makes them unique right inside the app where you do the rest of your work, no need to launch or subscribe to Photoshop.

Newly Retooled Export — We took over 100 suggestions from our users and have rebuilt Export from the ground up. It is the most powerful Export and image converter you can imagine. First, presets are more powerful. You can run them right from the file menu, and you can run more than one simultaneously. There are more options for everything. In File Type, you can now create DNGs or export copies of the original. The file renaming is infinitely flexible, as is the creation of destinations. You can now use multiple watermarks at the same time and use text or graphics for them. Resizing is more powerful and flexible than ever. And finally, you have control over what metadata is written to exported files.

New Line Mask Tool — Similar to a polygonal lasso or pen tool, it can quickly create masks using straight lines. You can now curve the lines, add and remove points, or change the feather and opacity of the shapes you create anytime, even after creation. They are entirely non-destructive and work hand-in-hand with the other powerful masking tools in ON1 Photo RAW.

Backup and Restore — Prepare for the worst and recover easily with the backup and restore features. They back up all your work, settings, albums, presets, and extras. You can use the restore feature to recover from a disaster on your computer or migrate everything to a new computer.

Favorites in Browse — We have added a Favorites pane to Browse to help you access frequently used folders easier. Drag and drop a folder you often access to the Favorites pane to create a shortcut to it. You can navigate through the favorites subfolder quickly in the Favorites pane without having to worry about all the folders above it.

Customizable Thumbnails  — Now, you have great flexibility over the appearance of the thumbnails in Browse. You can control what is displayed on them, how big the labels are and when they appear. You can choose between light or dark themes and also between regular or square thumbnails.

Gestures — Zooming, panning, and changing photos is more natural with a smooth, animated experience, with full gesture support on macOS trackpads and Windows touch-screen devices

Full Press Releases

Portland, OR – September 7, 2021 – ON1, creators of software applications and plugins for photographers, announce an all-new version of ON1 Photo RAW. The new version 2022 includes new Sky Swap AI for replacing dull skies, full integration of the new ON1 NoNoise AI, the ability to host Photoshop Plugins, new creative features like the ability to create time-lapse videos, a new line mask tool, remastered Export and Browse enhancements, and several other new features.

ON1 Photo RAW 2022 is the ultimate all-in-one photo editing application. This professional-grade editor is a robust photo organizer, raw processor, layered editor, and photo effects app. Top it off with mobile and cloud integration and photographers have a complete desktop and mobile workflow ecosystem. With a considerable amount of new features and new AI-based technologies, version 2022 will offer photographers greater flexibility and control along with superior quality in their editing results.

Photo RAW 2022 goes beyond what you can do in other photo editors. To start, the full integration of the new NoNoise AI will give superior results in image quality right within the Photo RAW workflow. In addition, the new Sky Swap AIl will automatically detect the sky in photos and create a mask. Unlike other applications, Sky Swap AI will offer complete control over the masking and blending of skies.

“We’ve been busy this past year integrating our new AI-based technologies into this version. The Sky Swap AI goes beyond what you can do with some of these other applications. The mask is editable, with any of our powerful masking tools, and can easily be used to apply effects filters or local adjustments to existing skies. It’s not only for those looking to replace skies,” says Dan Harlacher, VP of Product. “The full integration of ON1 NoNoise AI into the Photo RAW workflow, a new Time-Lapse creation tool, the Photoshop Plugin host capability, and the remastering of the Export workflow are huge features our customers will absolutely love,” adds Craig Keudell, ON1 President.

The new Time-Lapse tool is built into Photo RAW, where photos are managed in the Browse module. It’s the perfect tool to easily batch adjust all the frames at once, including cropping and retouching, using Photo RAW’s powerful non-destructive editing, so there isn’t any need to export every frame. It’s super-fast to create these videos because it leverages the speed of Photo RAW’s built-in raw processor and has built-in automatic flicker reduction and time scaling. The ability to access Photoshop plugins within ON1 Photo RAW will give users access to an expanded set of tools and features as well. The new export workflow will offer customers a range of new options, including multiple simultaneous exports from the same selection of photos and the ability to use numerous watermarks at the same time to name a few.

“We took over 100 suggestions from our customers and have rebuilt the Export tool from the ground up. Photo RAW is now the most powerful Export and image converter you can imagine,” Dan says.

Version 2022 also includes a new Line Mask tool that works like a simplified pen tool with native Apple Silicon support and Gesture support for trackpads and Windows tablet computers. Customers will appreciate the new backup and restore features to easily back up their work, settings, albums, presets, and extras. ON1 also made it a top priority to improve the Browse module with the under-the-hood enhancements to make it faster and smoother than ever before.

But wait, there’s more… “It’s going to be a great year for ON1 customers. We aren’t close to being finished either. In the coming months, we plan on releasing another significant update to ON1 Photo RAW. This will be a free update for owners of Photo RAW 2022 and include a new integrated AI-powered ON1 Resize, a Liquify Tool, much improved searching and filtering capabilities in the Browse module, content-aware cropping and filling, and enhancements to ON1 Photo RAW for mobile,” Craig mentions. “Needless to say, this is an exciting time for our customers.”
