Instead of reading more about what I think about it – watch the video now. Chromatic aberration correction – is it better now? Find out.HSL – I found it really lacking back then.

Presets – I wasn’t impressed the first time around.

Confusing – develop, layers and effects modules were not at all intuitive or clear.

Clunky interface – I found it clunkly and not intuitive in 2018.

History – previousely there was no way to see a history of your edits to an image.

Watch the video to see if I give them an improved rating now.

This is a list of things I wasn’t impressed with the first time around when I initially tested ON1 Photo RAW in 2018.

It does have some advanced tools and has potential to be a well-rounded complete editing solution (with a few suggested improvements and fixes).

The interface is really busy and very small fonts that are hard to read in places.

I still don’t find the overall interface very intuitive.

I also tested and reviewed NINE different raw editors in 2018 including the 2018 version of On1 Photo Raw that I mentioned above.

Skylum (then MacPhun) products since 2008.

Photoshop since 1995 (version 3, NOT CS3!).

My editing and software experience includes: I wanted to see how intuitive the program was, and whether or not I could figure things out without resorting to looking things up in the user manual or finding a video about it on YouTube. Please keep in mind that I approach this with all my years of experience not just in photography, but doing photo editing as well – both the old analog way and digitally. So if you want a no-holds-barred, straight-up talk, and a slightly brutal review of ON1 Photo RAW 2022 – this is it! About my perspective Then I will give you my first impressions and a full list of all the PROS and CONS of the software, from my perspective.įinally, in the end, you’ll get a quick summary and my recommendations of who I think this program is good for, and who should avoid it. The first thing I wanted to do was to see if they have fixed or added any of the features I gave a thumbs down to three years ago.
