On1 Photo Raw 2026 released

On1 Photo Raw 2026 released

On1 Software has just released On1 Photo Raw 2026. The latest version of the companies flagship Photo Software adds new AI-based masking, extended creative filters, integrated super-resolution tools, and improved workspace customisation.

I’ve been somewhat remiss in covering On1 software, but I’ll be honest in that I don’t use it that much. While I do like some aspects of it, it’s just that I have so many other things and it gets a bit hard to do actual work if you spend all your time testing different software. However, I know some of you do use it, and there are some interesting new features in this release.

According to the update page here’s a list of what’s new in this version:

  • Cinematic Depth Lighting: Use the new Depth Lighting filter with AI depth masks to add cinematic effects quickly.
  • 1-Click Subject and Background Masking: Automatically create precise masks for subjects and backgrounds with ease.
  • Starting Points in ON1 Effects: Simplify edits by selecting your favorite filters with a single click.
  • Split Field Filter: Expand landscape backgrounds without losing foreground detail.
  • Built-in Resize AI 2026: Achieve sharp, super-resolution enlargements from small or noisy images.
  • Improved Masking: Enjoy cleaner edges and reduced need for manual touch-ups.
  • Perspective Correction: Fix crooked buildings without losing image edges or introducing black corners.
  • Advanced Masking: Stack and combine masks for unlimited creative control.
  • Workspace Customization: Float or dock panes to maximize your editing space.
  • Filter Favorites & Search: Quickly find and apply your favorite filters.
  • Double Exposure Filter: Create artistic double exposures effortlessly.
  • Film Negative Inversion: Easily invert and color-correct film negatives.
  • Motion Filter: Add realistic motion blur effects to still photos.
  • New Creative Filters: Transform your photos with Depth Lighting, Split Field, Double Exposure, and Motion filters.
  • Super Resolution Models: Includes new Highest Quality and Standard AI models for sharper, cleaner enlargements.
  • Negative Mode: Automate inversion and color correction for digitized film negatives.
  • Grayscale Support: Native editing for grayscale images.
  • UI Improvements: Enhanced customization with dockable panels and floatable tool panes.
  • More Camera Support: Compatibility with the latest camera models.
  • Windows ARM Support: Optimized performance on Windows ARM devices.
