New Update – ON1 Photo RAW Version 2021.1

Photo by Hudson Henry.
Small enhancements make a big difference, and ON1 Photo RAW 2021.1 is full of improvements. Photo RAW 2021.1 is the hassle-free, professional photo organizer, raw processor, layered editor, and effects app. It’s perfect for those seeking an ultra-convenient all-in-one photo editing solution to produce high-quality results at a tremendous value. We offer photographers the choice in purchasing their software with both perpetual or subscription license options for ON1 Photo RAW.
If you own ON1 Photo RAW 2021, you can download the free update and read the full list of improvements here.
New in ON1 Photo RAW 2021.1
- Enhanced ON1 Portrait AI — Face detection is now much faster and more accurate. We’ve also added the ability to brighten up the region around the eyes with a single slider. Improving the shine reduction has also been a priority, and now you can more aggressively bring natural-looking skin color back to the overexposed shiny areas.
- Import Adobe Brush Preset Files — Now, you can easily import brushes in the Adobe (.ABR) brush preset file format. Many of the creative brushes available for download or purchase online use this format.
- Don’t Import Suspected Duplicates — When you use the Import from Device dialog to import/download your photos from a camera, phone, or memory card, Photo RAW keeps track of the photos you have already downloaded and can prevent you from downloading them again, reducing duplicate files.
- Improved Localized Date and Number Formats — We have improved support for different local preferences for date, time, and number formats.
- Slider Control Improvements — We made improvements to slider controls based on feedback from our users. Now you can double-click on the slider handle (in addition to the slider label) to reset the slider. You can also click and hold on a slider label to temporarily show the slider at the default, usually off. That makes it work like an on/off preview for any slider.
- Disable Automatic Adjustments — For RAW Photos, several fail-safe automatic adjustments may be made to improve photo quality. However, these can now be disabled for technical and scientific photography via the preferences.
- New Cameras for RAW Support — Nikon Z 6 II, Nikon Z 7 II, Leica SL2-S
- New Lens Profiles —Canon EF 80-200mm f/4.5-5.6, Canon EF-M 28mm f/3.5 Macro IS STM, Canon RF70-200mm F2.8 L IS USM, LEICA SUMMILUX 1:1.7/28 ASPH, NIKKOR Z 20mm f/1.8 S, NIKKOR Z 24-200mm f/4-6.3 VR, NIKKOR Z DX 16-50mm f/3.5-6.3 VR, Nikon AF Zoom-Nikkor 28-105mm f/3.5-4.5D IF, Nikon AF-S Nikkor 200-500mm f/5.6E ED VR, Nikon AF-S Nikkor 24mm f/1.8G ED, Sony FE 70-200mm f/2.8 GM OSS, Tamron E 20mm F2.8 F050
New in ON1 Photo RAW for Mobile 2021 (iOS, iPadOS, Android)
- Export/Share Original — Save or share the original file to your camera roll, connected device, or files app, including support for raw.
- Improved Discoverability for Importing Photos — The import icon has been added to the dock to make it more accessible and discoverable.

Does this update include the long awaited support of Capture One to use On1 as plug ins?
Thanks

Perhaps I’m missing something but I just updated my PHOTORAW 2021 and now find my access to my cloud files is no longer available through the icon at the left hand side unless I buy PHOTORAW 2021, which I actually did at the end of last year. I am now informed that my cloud storage is simply not synched. I should be working into the early hours of the morning now rather than trying to fix this. Presumably I am still automatically entitled to all the updates until the 2022 version becomes available? What really annoys me is I have just taken on a terrabite of cloud storage so automatic access by clicking the icon would have been a breeze. I also had it pointed out in a pop-up after my update that I had exhausted my entitlement – what was that all about? Sorry if I sound a little angry – I like my ON1 which I have been with for quite some time now and need it for my workflow – this has sadly now been interrupted by the very facility I pay for to make things go smoothly. Has anyone else had this happen with the latest update? If I have missed something obvious I shall gladly eat some humble pie, but something seems to have gone wrong with this update and the only invitation is to buy or try it free for 14 days – no update here or similar option.

Are using something like Dropbox, Google, or One Drive? Keep in mind if you are using one of those services you will likely need to login to the service again. We don’t show any order history for the ON1 Cloud Syncing under this email address (we looked). You DO NOT need to purchase ON1 Photo RAW 2021 again. Just login in to the app again using your email address and password you purchase ON1 Photo RAW with. It’s probably best to contact support as they can best serve you. https://on1help.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/requests/new

Great that Adobe (.ABR) brush format is now supported. The earlier brushes were too basic and cheesy. The Slider Control improvements is also a well thought out improvement. Thank you ON1.

Still no fix for the wrong date format unfortunately. This is extremely annoying and confusing. See https://www.on1.com/products/photo-raw/ideas/idea/exif-date-should-be-available-in-multiple-date-formats/
