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.
