What's New in Effects 2024.5?
New User Interface
We want to make ON1 AI Photo Effects easier to use and learn. A big part is making the interface cleaner, easier to read, and less cluttered. The new interface is streamlined to give you the tools you need when you need them but still gives you access to every feature when you want them. The look and feel are more modern, cleaner, and easier to read while still familiar to current users.
AI Style Advisor
Picking the right AI-powered photo effects for your photo can make all the difference between award-winning or yawn. We can help you pick the right effects for your photo by recommending stacks of filters that would look great. Out of the box, this AI has been trained by ON1 experts, but it also learns from your previous edits, so the more you use our Photo Effects software, the better the suggestions will be.
Color Balance Filter
The popular Color Balance Filter has been updated to use a new color-wheel style control for a more visual approach to adjusting color.
Layers Pane
We have updated the layout of the Layers pane to be more familiar to Adobe Photoshop and Lightroom users. We have made the height user adjustable. We have also moved the settings applied to each layer, making it more powerful. Plus, we have made switching layers faster and smoother.
Paste Pixels
You can paste photos and pixels from other apps as new layers into ON1 Effects. This feature allows for seamless integration between your favorite photo editors, making our Photo Effects Plugin even more versatile in your creative workflow.
Updated Preset Collection
We have added over 100 new curated presets to help you stay on top of today's looks.
