Download 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 step-by-step lesson, you’ll learn how to transform a garden spider macro photo using a combination of AI-powered masking tools, creative effects, and selective adjustments. Follow along as we crop for a stronger composition, remove noise with NoNoise AI, clean up distracting blemishes with the Healing Brush, enhance spider detail using Dynamic Contrast, and create a dramatic atmosphere with Glow and Depth Lighting filters. We’ll finish by exporting the image using optimized settings for sharing on Instagram, Facebook, and other social media platforms.

Hartelijk dank voor deze fijne uitleg voor macro foto’s.
En geweldig dat hij gelijk in ON1 2026 raw is te openen.
Hoop dat er meer van deze uitleg komt met macro foto’s ook van bloemen en insecten.

Thank you Dylan. Great video. When removing blemishes, I find it easier to use the show dust glasses icon to enhance all the specs.

Mixed feelings about this new approach.
It’s more awkward than the simple direct file downloads you used offer, but at least we can still download the practice image file by exporting-as-original from 2026.4.
However, you need to give us a downloadable HD video file as well. (Youtube limits the download to a meagre 360p resolution!)
