If you’re an ON1 user then you’ll want to download the latest update to ON1 Photo Raw 2018. In each version, ON1 releases updates throughout the year where they add features. But the “dot 5” releases are usually the largest, and 2018.5 is no exception.
Also, if you haven’t tried it out yet, you can grab a free 30-day trial right here. Next…Â I did a video below that recaps the updates, but here’s a quick overview of what’s new:
1. LUT Support – ON1 now supports LUT files in the .cube format just like Photoshop and several other programs that include LUT support. So if you already have LUT files you can use them here.
2. Camera Profile support – ON1 now supports camera profiles that are similar to the profiles you’d get in your camera if you shoot in JPG.
3. Nested albums – now you can nest an album within an album.
4. Better preset organization – presets are easier to organize and support nested folders too.
5. Faster filmstrip navigating – if you like to use the filmstrip to navigate your photos, it’s a lot faster (especially in Develop)
6. Background export – exporting no longer locks the application but now runs in the background so you can continue to work.
7. Transform panel enhancements – the transform panel includes some new enhancements if you need to do any lens correction work.
8. Raw + JPG support – now ON1 can treat your Raw + JPG combinations as if they were one file so youwon’t see both of them as you’re organizing or editing.
9. Overall performance boost – and of course what software update would be complete without a speed boost 🙂 And…. if that wasn’t enough…
10. They used my photo as the splash screen! Woo hoo! 🙂
I love teaching and photography... In that order. I feel that enjoying photography, and photo editing can get WAY too complicated. So my personal mission (and favorite thing to do), is to create education that simplifies the process of taking great photos, and how to edit them to get the results you’ve always wanted.
Sounds like if it is making the program more industry consistent, in the long run it will be a bit easier for new users to adopt – even if it means existing users need to make a small adjustment.
Hey Matt: A good update but the “X” key no longer switches from paint in to paint out! This forces me to go up to the top of the screen and manually switch which really slows down my workflow. Was this intentional; did I miss something here? Recent us of On1 Raw 2018 the “X” key did this just fine… :0(
I believe it was given to rating photos as rejected while in Filmstrip view. Best I can say is to let ON1 know that you want it back 🙂
It looks like the Alt/Option key works though which is actually more of an industry standard for switching between paint in/paint out modes while brushing.
yes, I want it back…..

Good luck with that 🙂
Sounds like you’re saying they don’t listen to anybody.
Not at all. They listen and for every good reason there is to change it back, there’s an equally good reason to keep it.
Very nice overview.
