ON1 Plus August 2026: Masking, Depth & Camera Profile Training

ON1 Plus’s August 2026 lineup covers masking, depth, and camera profiles. Four new tutorials, a step-by-step Camera Profile guide, and a live webinar on Local Adjustments join a rebuilt “How to Use Color Droppers” lesson for Photo RAW 2026, all included with membership.

Stop fighting stray edges. This video shows how pairing the Quick Mask AI tool with the Layers panel lets you easily composite multiple images into a single, cohesive edit.

Not every image benefits from upscaling, and the wrong settings can make a photo look worse at large sizes instead of better. This video breaks down when Resize AI actually helps and which settings protect real detail instead of just adding pixels.

Adjust Exposure or Contrast before picking a Camera Profile and you are editing against the wrong starting point. This step-by-step guide explains why Camera Profiles sit at the top of the Tone & Color pane and how the right choice changes every edit that follows.

Auto-select tools get it right most of the time, but a busy background or a low-contrast edge can still throw them off. This video shows how to pick up exactly where Subject, Sky, and Background detection leave off, using the Super Select AI to finish the selection by hand.

A flat edit treats every part of a photo the same way. This live session shows how Local Adjustments, using Brush, Gradient, Subject, and Background masks together, can brighten a focal point, quiet a distracting background, and give a two-dimensional photo real depth.
