First, I want to thank all of the happy ON1 customers who have shared their excitement about version 2023. The overwhelming feedback has been all about the faster and smoother editing in Photo RAW. At ON1, we strive to build excellent new solutions to photographers’ problems. We are often at the tip of the spear for research and technologies incorporated into our photo editing software. With ON1 Photo RAW 2023 and our upcoming releases of the ON1 2023 plugins, see this article where I talk about how we take advantage of these new technologies and how they rely heavily on having the latest video card drivers.

I am also excited to share that we have just released the first free update to ON1 Photo RAW 2023, for all subscribers and owners of version 2023. Changes in this new release include bringing back the old AI Quick Mask tool, as many of our ON1 Plus members have requested. In certain situations, it was their tool of choice for masking, and including it with the new masking tools in version 2023 was easy for us to do. This update also contains several video card optimizations which address previewer issues and crashes some customers experienced with some of the new tools in version 2023. I recommend that all customers download this update.

I also encourage anyone who downloaded the trial version 2023 to come and try it again. We have extended the trial another 14 days for anyone testing the software. I hope everyone has a chance to give ON1 Photo RAW 2023 a spin. It truly is a huge step above any previous version.

Everyone at ON1 appreciates all of the feedback and suggestions from our customers. Please have a great rest of the fall season (or spring, depending on the hemisphere), and I hope you get the chance to get out and photograph.

Best Regards,
Dan Harlacher
