A feature you use in ON1 Photo RAW today was probably rejected once, maybe more than once. Somewhere between an idea and a release, a photographer who doesn’t work here looked at it and said it wasn’t good enough yet. That conversation happens more often than you’d think, and it happens inside something we call the ON1 Advisory Board.
ON1 Photo RAW 2026.4 is available today as a free update for all 2026 owners, and it’s the biggest release of the 2026 cycle. The headline addition is Restore AI, a new module inside Photo RAW MAX that brings old, faded, or any damaged photo back to life. Scan a print from a shoebox, recover a soft or noisy shot from an old phone, or colorize a black and white image with realistic results. Restore AI handles all of it, in seconds, without sending you to a separate app. 2026.4 also redesigns the Home experience to get you into your editing faster, delivers meaningful performance improvements throughout the app, and rounds out the update with new lens profiles and targeted bug fixes. If you’ve been using ON1 Photo RAW 2026 as your primary photo editing software, this update makes it better in ways you’ll feel every time you open the app.
If you’re looking for a Lightroom alternative or a more flexible way to edit your photos, you’ve likely felt the shift happening across the industry. More tools. More AI. More reliance on subscriptions.
