Next Major Upgrade to ON1 Photo RAW & ON1 Photo RAW 360 Announced Plus ON1 Portrait AI 


Portland, OR – September 21, 2020 – ON1, creators of ON1 Photo RAW, release an all-new AI portrait editing application and additional plug-in support, new creative features for ON1 Photo RAW for Mobile, and unveils the next major upgrade to ON1 Photo RAW & ON1 Photo RAW 360.
The first to arrive today is the all-new ON1 Portrait AI, both as a standalone application and plug-in for Adobe Lightroom and Photoshop, Affinity Photo, Corel Paintshop Pro, Apple Photos, with Capture One support coming soon. This new technology uses the latest in machine learning to find every face in portrait photos and make them look fabulous without lifting a finger. Many portrait photographers spend long hours retouching entire shoots before presenting photos to their clients. Other portrait editing software only offers one-off edits, complicated manual controls, steep learning curves, and no way to batch process when dealing with multiple faces in photos.

“This product was created to solve the main problem portrait photographers face, spending way too much time editing individual portraits or entire shoots. They need more time to focus on important things related to their photography business ON1 Portrait AI is incredibly fast at  getting through an entire shoot, no matter how many different people, and gives  stunning results,” says Dan Harlacher, VP of Product.

The software classifies every face in your photos, adds the right amount of realistic retouching to the skin, eyes, and mouth, without globally applying the same retouching to each person in the photo. For those needing to take their retouching further, ON1 Portrait AI includes some amazingly easy-to-use tools for skin retouching using frequency separation, shine reduction, blemish removal, face sculpting, and eye and teeth whitening to name a few.

In addition to ON1 Portrait AI, ON1 also released significant updates to the new ON1 Photo RAW Mobile app. ON1 Photo RAW Mobile, for iOS, iPadOS, and Android devices, now includes powerful masking features for targeting specific adjustments and effects. The latest update also includes the ON1 edge-detecting Perfect Brush to use for precise masking while painting with just a finger.. Each of the local adjustments uses ON1’s proprietary raw processing engine as well. The new masking tools also include support for Apple Pencil and Android Stylus.

The new effects and filters include ON1’s very popular Dynamic Contrast filter, the gold standard for amazing clarity and detail. Additional new filters include Curves, HDR Look, and Glow to go along with the other built-in filters; including Split Tone, Black and White, Film Grain, Vignettes, and Color Adjustment with more on the way. On the organization side, ON1 adds new easy ways to search and sort photos within the app as well.

“ON1 Photo RAW Mobile has been significantly enhanced in a short amount of time and there is more on the way. The addition of the creative masking tools and filters help make it a photography tool everyone will want to use, says Craig Keudell, President of ON1.

The final release in the ON1 fall lineup is the next major upgrade to the flagship product, ON1 Photo RAW version 2021 for Mac and Windows computers, the professional-grade photo organizer, raw processor, layered editor, and effects app, available this October. Read More »
