If that works, I think I'll likely cut the cord forever with LR. I AM excited about the new version actually being able to fully "import" your LR ttings and all. It works with my cataloging and image in process I used same as in LR.so that's no big deal. Yes, the workflow is a little different than with LR.but with any change of tools.there is some difference, but largely, the keyboard short cuts are the same or similar.and if you know one, you basically know the other. The tools and control it has is fantastic. So for right now, I will say the only complaint I have with On1 RAW, is speed. I was having to finish a large job (shot JazzFEst in New Orleans last May).before I wanted to even think about doing and OS update.so, will see if that helps.
On1.well, I must admit it is trying my patience.BUT, I'm also curious if I was to update the OS X version, if that would help? I'm also planning in the near future, to get an iMac PRO that is fairly loaded.guessing that would help performance too. I was finding that LR5 had been slow on me after long work hours.especially when loading images. I will say their support is good, in that during the year, they sent me a link to a one off dev copy they were working on for older Macs with older versions of OS X (I'm on Yosemite).and that did significanly improve things. I find that as I work, that On1 RAW.gets slower and slower.and at times, I have to quit it and come back. I have some Thunderbolt adapters hooked to it.one with a SSD in it for caching needs for apps, and one with a spinning SATA hard drive.my work drive. I have it stuffed with 16GB ram.core i7, best they had at the time, I've replaced the local HD with a 1TB SSD. I'm currently working on a Macbook Pro, late 2011.
With coming layers and masks and all in RAW workflow, I'm really anticipating some amazing work can be done in full RAW workflow. So far, as far as functionality, cataloging, file manipulations, it meets and in actual developing tools, I find exceeds LR.the luminosity masks for RAW workflow alone is worth the cheap price of the ticket.
I actually DO find that in this next edition they have added so much that it will be worth it to me to pay the $79 I think it is, to upgrade to the coming 2019 edition.Īctually, I need to check, I may get it free.as that I did do their "On1 Plus" program, which gives a year of extra education on their tools, and pros giving tips on photography, different genres, etc.and I think with that I get the 2019 upgrade free.Īnyway, I've been experimenting with not using LR at all and using ON1RAW.
The functionality additions for On1RAW look amazing.all for software you don't have to "rent" monthly/annually. I saw this yesterday and I'm quite excited about it.looks like you will be able to do PS type heavy lifting stuff all within a RAW workflow. We want to keep the photographer’s workflow fast and efficient.” This is what we mean by an all-new photo editing experience.
