What a Ride it’s Been

The first post in a three-part series from ON1 Founder and President, Craig Keudell.

July 1st marked our 15th year in business! Back in 2005, with just four employees, folding tables and chairs, and a tiny office, we set out to develop and deliver time-saving software solutions for professional and advanced amateur photographers in the digital photography and graphic design industries. Our goal was to create software that helped photographers spend more time behind their cameras, taking pictures instead of at their computer workstation.

The above image is the ON1 home page on launch day August 1, 2005.

Over the next decade and a half, our software solutions grew to a range of easy-to-use plug-in and enhancements for Adobe® Photoshop®, Adobe Lightroom®, Adobe Photoshop Elements®, QuarkXPress® and the standalone applications you use and love today. Some of those popular titles included Genuine Fractals® (now ON1 Resize), Mask Pro, PhotoFrame, PhotoTools, FocalPoint, PhotoTune, Intellihance, DSLR Camera Remote, Perfect Portrait, Browse, Develop, ON1 Photo RAW, and the new ON1 360 and ON1 Photo Mobile app.

I want to thank our dedicated team of hardworking employees who have always strived to attain the goals set out in the original company mission. Each and every one of them has been committed to the success of all photographers. It’s been amazing seeing what photographers can achieve using our software applications. Of course, we wouldn’t be where we are today without our loyal customers. I want to take this opportunity to thank each customer who continues seeing the value ON1 delivers to them.

During our 15-year celebration, now is not the time we will sit back and coast along. Our ability to adapt and be flexible led us to where we are today, and there has never been a more exciting time for photographers. Our newest release, ON1 360, has been a massive hit with our customers. They can now take their photography and ON1 editing tools wherever they go for the first time. We have even more new products coming soon, we can’t wait to share them with you.

From everyone here at ON1, thank you for trusting us to be a part of your photography journey all these years.

All the Best,
Craig Keudell
President
Take Photography Further.

    On1 is great. I also have at my disposal Affinity Photo and Luminar 4. Luminar just doesn’t meet the quality of your software and the ease it is to use On1. Affinity Photo I will keep but after looking at closely it appears more suited towards the graphic designer. Just want to keep to learn more about the process. But, I think one of things that I think sets you apart is your support staff which I would guess never truly get the kudos they deserve. I have worked with Kahlie on a number of occasions and simply put she is great. When I was in management she is what I called a keeper and I can’t affort to lose her. Also, your training is excellent. I think Dylan has grown in his presentation style and the most recent training video he did on quickly adjust colors is proof of that. It was very well done. Good pace, good training tools (the little circle) etc. I will not renew any of the other two programs as I feel your product provides me with what I need for my photography. I’m not professional but I think I do a pretty good job on some of my photos if any of the comments from the On1 Facebook page is indicative of my work. Keep up the good work guys.

    Please make sure these two editing tools , which are well overdue, to be included in next update
    1. Polygon selction tool – this is a very useful tol and its sadly lacking – to make On1Raw better you need to included this.
    2. Scaleble sun flare filter- its no good sticking a sun flare onto a image if you cannot transform it and make is scalable, there have been a lot of times when I wanted to use that filter on my images but becasue I cannot scale it, it becomes useless !

      Hi John

      100% agree about the Polygon Selection Tool

      But the sun flare is already scalable if you use layers. seehttps://www.on1.com/videos/transforming-a-day-time-photo-into-a-moody-night-scene/

      Have fun with scalable flares..

    It’s been six years. The day I decided to leave Adobe software behind and found On1 was one of the best decisions I made and have never regretted it. Thank you so much for an excellent product that satisfies my needs and for providing great educational videos as part of Plus. The knowledge I gain from the On1 coaches is invaluable and the assistance I received when I needed it from support has been a 10+. Thank you everyone at On1! A high-five from Lisbon, Portugal.

    I’ve only been using ON1 Raw since January and have been delighted with most of the results. One of the tools from a composition point of view that I miss from LR is the crop overlay showing the grid, rule of thirds and the golden ratio etc. Select the crop icon and select the letter O and it takes you through the various overlays.I’ll assume that you have access to your competitors software and will know what I’m talking about. Thanks again for making my editing workflow and artistic endeavours easier.

    I use ON1 to process my underwater pictures. It’s easy, and gives nice results. And I am not bothered, like with Lightroom, with the sidecar files. And, cerise sur le gâteau, now, it’s in French … with some awkward (but funny !) translations, Regards from Cannes, France

    As a hobby photography has always been a part of my creative expression. With a background in programming, and education, I was quick to appreciate the effort and intuitive interface that has gone into creating the ON1 photo editing package. Keep it up people. I remember a first day in a marketing class. The prof wrote FANAFI on the board and asked if anyone knew what it meant. No one did. It was an acronym for “Find a need and fill it” And filling you are.

    Was introduced to On1 through the Genuine Fractals image enlarger and have been using it ever since.

    There have been on or two hiccups along the way bit on the whole the experience has been a good one and i spend my time equally between PS and On1 RAW using their strengths depending upon the need of my editing requirements.

    What is a real bonus compared to some other editing apps however is the ability to use On1 RAW still as a plug in. Great stuff!

    Without the excellent video training which allows me to rewind and review, I would probably not be a customer.
    But, before that even I was captivated by elements, and on a Matt K leash. Thanks to MK I am here.
    Recently, IN FINDER I moved and deleted hundreds of photos from my miscellaneous folder to 10 new ones. Just before dinner I double checked to see if in fact they would show up correctly, “oh no? “ they weren’t. Later, to my amazement, all was in order. So glad catalog was working while I ate. In LR classic this didn’t go so well. Yeah for your inventory design.
    Best of luck to you during this next coding challenge that Apple’s new os and chips brings.

    I can’t remember when I started using On1 but it was a add on then. I stopped trying Lightroom for over 6 years, it is terrible even their gurus couldn’t figure out what was happening with it. Thanks for On1. I use it 95% of the time, I only use Photoshop or elements when On1 Raw doesn’t do something. I love the classes to explain how to do things. I have to watch them over several times. They always show new things and ways to use them. Good instructors. I always recommend it to friends and other photographers.

    I invested in Photo 10 3-4 years ago when using my T3i. I now am using the latest 2020 RAW 2.1 .
    Being a low level amateur, I am having fun trying to create photos from mistakes I make with my Canon 80D. Being elderly, I have some trouble fully understanding some steps. But I keep editing, watching ON1 videos. Little by little I am broadening my capabilities in post.

    One of my biggest problems is trying to remove an object in post. In most cases, it just creates a shadow of of what I trying to remove. Sometimes I am successful. In fact just this morning I was able to remove a gentlemen from the right side of my photo with one click … just like I knew what I was doing.

    One of my main reasons for investing in ON1, it is a Portland, Oregon Based company. The other is I do not want another monthly bill.

    It took an arduous, difficult miserable struggle to get thousands and thousands of fully keyworded and graded images and scanned slides from over 50 years of professional underwater photography from Aperture to On1, but with the lockdown I could dedicate hundreds of hours to organizing more than a hundred thousand images (including many duplicates scattered over two computers, two hard drives, the cloud and two raids) so that now On1 could do its magic and I love it. I can control the single images explicitly and discard all exports after they have done their jobs instead of languishing in a folder somewhere. And now that I am learning how to process them in On1 (some of your tools are so much easier) I just need to wean myself off of PhotoShop which is second nature to me. Already I see many steps that are much easier and more effective that PS (like putting the relevant sliders in one pane–genious!) and the numerous training videos are terrific. Well done, and thank you for all the help in answering my questions. (I still have a few more–like when can you add stacking– many of my images that I want to combine come from very different file names and dates but I want to see just the one when I scroll through a few thousand images from the same dive location.)

    Have used the software for than 10 years and processed thousands of photos. Very happy with the possibilities offered. However as mentioned before I still have to revert to an old version of Photoshop for a few things: cropping is much faster, the stamp tool is better and above all the DISTORT function from Photoshop. Most important to redress and correct slight differences inaccurate lines.

    So true. What a long journey it has been. My parents taught me that whatever I wished to own I should wait until the day I could afford to buy it – for cash. Never a lender or a borrower be! That has been my mantra throughout life though I have to confess I fell at the first hurdle with my first house! Nevertheless I eventually achieved my goal and ever since then I detest using anything I do not own outright-car(they make that more and more difficult by the day!), house, camera or photographic application, otherwise they merely become a steady drain on my resources. During this lockdown I thank my Mum and Dad I owe nobody a bean.
    I have in front of me my copy of Adobe Photoshop Album from 2003 which I duly registered by Fax so I could keep up to date- for free. What a shame that such a super idea could eventually become so expensive and complicated. Keep it simple. Keep it fun. Don’t get greedy. Great product. I wish you every success for the future.

    Don’t really know why I started using ON1 way back when it was called Perfect Effects, but what I do know is that it captured my imagination and have thoroughly enjoyed using it ever since.

    Before that I was dabbling in various programmes including Photoshop, but found them uninspiring and a challenge to master. Discovering ON1 was a welcome revelation for me and I get great enjoyment using it to edit my images.

    I am a self-taught Photoshop user and out of habit still return to my old version of PS from time to time. But it is no longer affordable. I have had three versions of OnOne since playing with a free version of Perfect Photo a few years ago. OnOne has come a long way and in retirement, I have enjoyed having the time to explore the full range of features in RAW 2020. Thanks, too for the tutorial library.

    I’ve been with ya since Photo #s but really committed when ON1 launched. Flat out, you guys ROCK as your focus is on the photographer and ease in post. 360 is a positive addition as it has potential for seamlessly working between various devices. But this is a slippery slope as I’ve been the Adobe and MS Office for so long that the periodic need for upgrades has long surpassed my computational needs AND abilities. Dylan is great and I also really appreciate ‘outside’ perspectives/trainings by folks like MattK, Hudson Henry and Scott Davenport…keep them involved and add others…more women and people of color…international photographers? I’m with ya and promote ON1 to others including my camera club members…gaining converts!

    I don’t remember when I first started using ON1 (2013, 2014 ?) but it was a life saver for me. I was virtually ignorant where post processing was concerned and had played around with Photoshop Elements and a few other freebie apps when a friend turned me on to ON1. I found it a lot more intuitive than Adobe Raw and PSE but it was ON1’s training videos, “outside” instructors and follow-on educational aids that did it for me. It has made post processing a joy. I can’t thank you all enough.

    Craig, I have enjoyed ON1 since the old “Perfect Photo Suite” days but I am very frustrated that you won’t provide a ‘plug-in’ for Capture One. It does my head in having to use a workaround via Photoshop! Anyway, hope you continue to enjoy great success and keep up the good work!

    I purchased ON1 three years ago, but only recently started using it actively. Difficult, but very interesting. Thank you for such attention and understanding of the work of many amateurs and professionals who want to improve the quality of processing with easier and more convenient tools. I do not speak English very well, but I try to study all the training materials – I just slow down the playback speed and watch several times. I really hope that in the near future I will just fly in the program that I love. Good luck and new successes!

    I have been using On1 Photo Raw for a few years now and I haven’t looked back. I recently also acquired Luminar 4 purely for its ease of use when replacing a sky. Ive tried the On1 method and its far from perfect and involves too much time to get it perfect. Time I don’t want to waste on a sky replacement. Now if On1 could use the same AI as Luminar 4 for sky replacement (it takes seconds without me having to do any masking), I would be eternally grateful. Other than that, On1 is an excellent product.

    Keep up the excellent work

    I purchased On1 three and a half years ago and loaded into my desktop as the only processing program and spent the next 6 months in temporary accommodation while waiting for my apartment to be finalised. During this time I watched all of the training videos available and became quite proficient in the processing of my images. On occasions (several) when I became ‘stuck’ help was always at hand. Not like Adobe where there is not one person you can contact when you have a problem. A simple email to On1 along with a screen shot and help is there. Fantastic. On1 is my first preference now, a little in PS but NEVER in LR. So keen to see what is coming next as I have seen so much even in the last three and a half years. Congratulations to all at On1.

    I am creatively artistic with photography For several months On1 user and especially satisfied with the intuitive creative power of On1 Fortunately there are still challenges for you, but I am convinced that you will realize this. I especially hope that the basic program remains the main goal and On1 does not get lost in the flattening of the creation.
    I strongly consider promoting ON1 in my home country because you are certainly good I love your standalone program and the video editing tools and th support team.
    Thank you
    Congratulations to the entire team

    It was some years ago (I don’t remember the exact date) when I by chance notice the OnOne software. I bought and downloaded the following versions and now I use the 2020-version.
    I’m really happy that my attention was driven to On1 and I enjoy not only the software but all your very good webinars.
    Please let me wish you every success in developing or maintenance your excellent software.
    Thank you and congratulations,

    Just switched from Lightroom5 to ON1.
    Like it a lot, but the Dutch translation is bad (use it in English now).
    (need help?)

    Like many others, Craig, I’ve been here actually FROM day one…. It was a “dead” company for PhotoFrame I had the software from for WIN XP(?) that was bought by you… And you built it up to what it is now from the ground up… Thank you… Though I am in Central PA now (yeah, Amish country), I’ve always, always made it a point to visit your booth at the Javitz Center Photoplus Expo… Brian Matiash, Dan Harlacher, Matt Kloskowski (after NAPP), and others were those I saw there all the time… and, of course, I can’t forget my buddy, Nathan, your nephew… he’s been great with me…always…

    Always touting your software wherever I get to talk about it to fellow photographers… Some know you, some already have your product, others I introduce it for the first time… With this pandemic stuff, though, it’s been tough to be “Creative” right now, right? Keep up the great work… you’ll show those Adobe people up….

    Been trying to get to Nathan… let him know please? Would like to “catch up” with him…

    Thank you, during the coronavirus lockdown I discovered ON 1. So a Johnny come late users I wish I found it earlier. With RAW and Mobile 360 great software for photo file management. RAW has open up the door to make photo editing fun.

    I have been a user since Perfect Photo and the products just get better. The resulting photos from these tools are simply awesome when looking at the ON1 Gallery, Flickr or 500px. They have made post-processing almost as fun as taking the picture.

    In Craig’s assessment I was curious that there was no mention to Plus or Video. Plus being a great service and community helping to make sense of both photography and post-processing. Video is an anticipated new direction for ON1. I believe these have and will make ON1 better.

    Thank you On1 team
    I now only use On1 for all my editing requirements (apart from titling my images in Photoshop).
    As a retired photographer with a studio, I still enjoy taking photos
    Landscapes wild life and the family. Living on the Somerset coast we have a lot of keen photographers amerture and professionals,
    Visiting the area and I alaways recommend they have a look at On1.
    Once again thanks for a great product at a good price.
    Best regards to all

    On1 is a very unique company in today’s world. They truly care about their customers. It seems to me that the On1 team is my partners. They are always there to help me. They spend a great amount of time and money to provide free training in their many videos.

    This is hands-down the best software I have seen. I have been a pro-shooter since 1985. On1 is the BEST!
