ON1 Releases Photo Raw 2017
19 December 2016
ON1 has announced the release of Photo Raw 2017, its Raw file image editor "optimized for today's super-megapixel cameras and high-performance computer graphics systems." The company said it can open a 50-megapixel image in a fraction of second on a standard PC or Mac and instantly displays its non-destructive image adjustments.
Based on ON1's Browse, the company's photo browser, Photo Raw 2017 can also quickly browse your images without importing them. From the browser, you can tag, rate, make color and tone adjustments or add effects to your photos.
Photo Raw 2017 also integrates with Photoshop CS6/CC, Elements 13/14, Lightroom 5/CC and Apple Photos.
SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS
System requirements include Mac OS X 10.9 to 10.12, Windows 7/8/10, 1.5-GB free space for installation, 4-GB RAM (8-GB when used as a Photoshop plug-in), Open GL 3.3-compatibile video card with 512-MB video RAM.
DEVELOPMENT PROCESS
ON1 has adopted a new development process that promises updates to Photo Raw about every 4 to 6 weeks. Several free updates have already been planned for the first half of 2017, the company said. Those include: automatic lens correction, workspaces, compare mode, photo settings, a Lightroom migration tool, versions, groups (stacks), camera profiles (film looks), updates for new cameras and much more.
"Our users are in the driver's seat when it comes to the features important to them," added ON1 President Craig Keudell. "We're taking a completely transparent approach to how we build Photo Raw. We want users to have a direct say in the software they choose to use for their photo editing."
PRICE, AVAILABILITY
Available for download today, ON1's introductory price is $99.99, regularly $119.99, and includes activation via user accounts for up to five computers. Previous owners of ON1 can upgrade for $79.99, regularly $99.99.
For a limited time, ON1 Photo Raw 2017 will be bundled with Four Photo Raw Master Courses by Matt Kloskowski, Creative Choices: ON1 Image Workflows from Start to Finish, an eBook from Colby Brown (customers who pre-ordered also will be sent the new eBook) and the ON1 Guru Signature Collection with 60 presets and four additional videos.

The Future of Raw Photo Editing -- Now Available
PORTLAND, Ore. -- ON1, Inc. today announced ON1 Photo Raw 2017 is available for download. With modern code optimized for today's super-megapixel cameras and high-performance computer graphics systems, Photo Raw is the world's fastest, most flexible and easiest-to-use Raw processor and photo editor on the market.
ON1 Photo Raw 2017 is tuned for today's sensors and graphics chips. It opens 50-Mp images in a fraction of a second on a standard PC or Mac and performs edits in real-time, without slider lag or frustrating waits for redraw.
Developed over the last several years, Photo Raw uses an all-new modern Raw processing engine and image-processing pipeline built around ON1 Browse, the company's lightning-fast photo browser. Photo Raw does not require photographers to import and catalog their photos; an often painful and time-consuming process required before editing can begin. ON1 Browse is an integral part of Photo Raw, offering quick and easy ways to tag, rate, make color and tone adjustments or add effects to their photos. Without catalogs, professionals can edit and adjust photos stored in cloud or file servers and fellow colleagues can access and edit where they left off. This combination of a fast photo browser with instantaneous Raw processing delivers a fluid, streamlined workflow to process any number of photos at once.
Photo Raw's instruction-based, non-destructive workflow also surpasses today's Raw processors in other key ways. In addition to customary re-editable adjustments such as exposure, contrast, color, shadows and highlights, Photo Raw offers non-destructive effects and portrait retouching. Being able to create layers, masks and selectively apply filters and effects to Raw photos in one app separates Photo Raw from other photo editors available today. In addition, the complex filters found in ON1 Effects -- including Lens Blur, Skin Retouching, Dynamic Contrast, HDR Look and many more -- are all available in the non-destructive workflow allowing for endless possibilities when looking to create your own photographic style.
ON1 Photo Raw 2017 works the way you want and where you want. For photographers with established workflows, Photo Raw integrates seamlessly as a plug-in for Adobe Lightroom and Photoshop. It also works as a standalone host app for Google Nik Collection and other photo editors; or as an extension to Apple Photos. Common file formats -- including JPEG, TIF, PSD, PSB, PND and DNG -- are supported and benefit from the speed and performance of the app.
ON1 Isn't Done Yet
To meet demands and requests from our users, we've adopted a new development process to enable updates to Photo Raw about every 4-6 weeks. We have several planned free updates to Photo Raw in the first half of 2017, which include: automatic lens correction, workspaces, compare mode, photo settings, a Lightroom migration tool, versions, groups (stacks), camera profiles (film looks), updates for new cameras and much more.
Prioritizing user feedback is a top priority for us. ON1 President Craig Keudell states, "Our users are in the driver's seat when it comes to the features important to them. We're taking a completely transparent approach to how we build Photo Raw. We want users to have a direct say in the software they choose to use for their photo editing."
Today, ON1 users can go to The Photo Raw Project and submit their ideas and feature requests for Photo Raw. Every submission is reviewed and the more votes each idea or submission gets, the higher the likelihood it will get added into Photo Raw.
