July is packed for ON1 Plus members and it’s not just the usual lineup. This month brings three new tutorials, a downloadable editing guide, a live webinar, and the very first ON1 Plus Day, a full day summer workshop filled with live editing sessions, Q&A, and giveaways!

Here’s everything you can look forward to.

Three Tutorials That Solve Real Problems

Every video this month is built around a frustration you’ve probably felt at the editing desk.

Creating Better Subject Separation (July 3) tackles one of the most common reasons a photo falls flat, when the subject just doesn’t pop. You’ll learn how to use local adjustments to brighten your subject and darken distractions, blur backgrounds naturally with Lens Blur, and use AI masking to build real depth and guide the viewer’s eye.

Simplifying Busy Backgrounds (July 9) is about what to do when the background fights your subject for attention. No heavy-handed cropping required. This one covers custom vignettes, local adjustment gradients, and subtle light shaping that cleans up a scene without making it look overworked.

Creating Consistent Edits Across an Entire Shoot (July 14) is a workflow walkthrough for anyone who’s ever finished a session and realized every photo looks slightly different. You’ll learn how to build a consistent style with presets, copy settings instantly with Sync, and batch edit an entire shoot in just a few clicks.

Editing Guide: Understanding Histograms and Tone (July 7)

Available as a downloadable PDF, this step-by-step guide demystifies one of the most misunderstood parts of editing. You’ll learn how to actually read a histogram, understand what’s happening in your shadows, midtones, and highlights, and use Tone & Color and the Tone Curve with a lot more intention. Print it out and keep it next to you while you edit.

Live Edit Webinar: Mastering Difficult Lighting (July 16)

Harsh sun, deep shadows, uneven exposures. Difficult lighting is unavoidable, but it doesn’t have to ruin a photo. This live session features real-world editing demonstrations, multiple approaches to the same challenging image, and live Q&A throughout. Bring your questions.

ON1 Plus Day: Summer Editing Workshop (July 30)

This is the big one. The first-ever ON1 Plus Day is a full day of live learning designed to take your editing further than the regular monthly content goes. More details and registration information are coming soon, so stay tuned. We can’t wait to share everything we have planned for this one.

The Big Picture

July is about solving the editing problems that actually slow you down. Getting subjects to stand out, cleaning up cluttered scenes, editing a whole shoot efficiently, and handling tricky light with confidence. Whether you work through the tutorials at your own pace or join us live for Plus Day, this month is built to make you a more capable, more confident editor.
