What ON1 Customers Are Already Saying About Photo RAW 2026
These early beta testers are already seeing the difference — from faster workflows to sharper results and smarter tools. Here's what they have to say after getting hands-on with the Photo RAW 2026 private beta.

I really like the new AI foreground/background masking. Organization of the effects menu is very helpful. The new AI Resize is amazing. Great work development Team!
Eric

I think, even though it's early beta, I'm ready to switch to 2026. Anybody else?
Keith

Hi from Italy! I just installed the new version and have yet to try all the new stuff. But I rushed here just to say that this is the FASTEST version I ever owned! Don't know what you've done for Windows pcs, but congrats guys -- this works a treat.
Pierpaolo

Resize AI 26 works great. I have used it on bird photos that are very small. After resizing using 2X all the details remained and the photo became usable. Better than purchasing a lens with a longer reach.
ON1 Beta Tester

The new version of the depth mask is indeed remarkable. This remains my favorite.
Henri

The depth mask seems to be much improved from the 2025 version with much more defined variations in depth. I really love the new Light depth filter. It works well and the results are amazing.
