Access the included practice file directly from the all-new Home module in ON1 Photo RAW 2026.4 and follow along step-by-step with this edit. Keep in mind, the practice file is only accessible in version 2026.4, so make sure you’ve upgraded to the latest version of ON1 Photo RAW before getting started.
In this tutorial, we’ll recover highlights, add contrast and depth, enhance autumn colors, and selectively enhance the mountain range using AI masking tools, Depth Lighting, Dynamic Contrast, and subtle vignette effects. We’ll finish by exporting the photo using optimized settings for sharing on Instagram, Facebook, or other social media platforms.

The practice files can be accessed in the Home Module. They are located at the bottom, click on Practice Files right next to the Recents. Are you using version 2026.4?

Thanks for this one, looks very interesting to play around with.
Could we have a download link for the video as I like to play it with a player on my second monitor.

As a side note where are the practice files stored? Currently I am opening the files and exporting them untouched so I can play with them, then delete the edits and ON1 generated files.
I have a seperate folder to make it easy to manage practice edits.

Well, I am impressed.
Followed your info with the test image and I’m happy to say, you have just changed my future editing options for flat images.
Brilliant stuff.

Great tutorial. Had not used Depth Lighting before so had to wait for Ai download. Discover something every day in On1.
