Ok - now this is sick —- ON1 Photo Raw 2024.5
1 have been totally impressed with the upgrade that I made recently to the latest version of ON1 Photo Raw. The speed of showing thumbnails as well as going back and forth between the Browse and Edit windows (a major frustration to me with my 2023 version), is night and day. That alone made me fall back in love with this application for my Desktop Workflow.
I have always appreciated the Auto Selection tools for masking, but with the recent update to the newly improved Super Select AI in version 2024.5, have been so impressed with how this speeds up my masking that I make use of it on every image for adding Effects and Local Adjustments exactly where I need them…
NOW FOR THE SICK PART
I was recessing an image from Europe just now - went through all of my processes and tweaks applied to the complete image - and decided that I would apply a Tonal Enhancement Effect to just the boat going under the bridge. Simple. I added an effect and then with the mask tool I had the option of selecting “Transport”. It immediately created the mask so that I added the effect only there. Perfect.
So when I have that file completed and Exported, I find another pic taken along the same river a few minutes earlier. I have noticed an option in the Context Menu to Paste settings from the previous edit. I was curious and clicked. It worked great and now this pic was processed similarly to my bridge pic. I wondered though what was applied when it came to the masked Effect of the boat on the original. The boat in this pic was on the right side pf the frame. I opened the Tonal Enhancent Effect tab and viewed the mask ——- and lo and behold, the mask was redrawn and applied to the new “Transport”. I then followed up with a third photo with a different long boat on the water, pasting settings from previous edit, and again the mask had auto recognized this boat and applied the effect to that area. These abilities are getting astonishing!!!
