Agree the masking should be fixed for current 2019 users.Think many have missed the point? When they launched 2019 it was praised by them as being faster than the previous version in fact it was the bees knees compared to Adobe Lightroom yet it could also not let you make camera profiles BUT!! if you watched the video/live stream they are telling you that the problem with brush lag in 2019 has been fixed in 2020 so if it has been fixed should it not be a free update to 2019 users as they admit in the video there was a problem? On1 IMO used to be a good fair company but that seems to have changed over the last couple of years and before anyone jumps in with the 'They are a company to make money not give away freebees' think about your car, if the company find a fault on the car make they send out a recall to fix it do they not? just an example of how companies should treat consumers.
I might start using on1 just as a plugin for Photoshop only for when I want some of its features. (its not giving me anything more than Olympus workspace when it comes to organising my photos and the raw previews in olympus workspace are better)The idea of it being faster is good, sync may be helpful for some, ditto video editing. I have no plans to upgrade at this stage since I'm running 2019, and only use the software to view & select images before processing them with ACR for use in Lightroom 5, plus as a plugin for LR when I want deeper editing. I prefer to do my processing in LR.
, If you have not tried it can I suggest Skylum Luminar 3? 30 day free trial available and Ver 4 on the horizon. Russ.Agree I am not seeing a significant jump in performance. I did try the AI match on a image and it just looked a mess after, think I will try it a bit more to see but so far nothing exceptional. For me I really want to see the histogram improved and a levels tool as I don't think it has one still.
I have got a copy, it works and is a nice bit of software but it's not advanced enough for me. I do like to have a go with sky ai in it sometimes., If you have not tried it can I suggest Skylum Luminar 3? 30 day free trial available and Ver 4 on the horizon. Russ.
Well after saying I wasn't going to bother, I have stumped up the money and upgraded. I'll see how the full version works once it is released.
I will, I paid $99 including the extra bonus stuff, and then got stung for the $20 tax.Let us know, although it'll be full price once the full version is out.

What's not worked for you?I'm also using the beta, just to give it a try, I doubt I will actually buy it. It definitely seems faster and exporting is almost instantaneous now which is definitely a big plus. I'm having issues though, not everything works as it should and it has crashed a number of times.
Selecting some options inside the filters is sometimes problematic. Say choosing desert and then trying sky in the colour filters. Also the clone tool totally freaked on me yesterday. After selecting an area whenever I moved the curser the damn thing cloned, I had these stripes all over the image. There have been other things that I can't recall at the mo.What's not worked for you?
So far not finding ON1 Photo RAW 2020 a great leap on from 2019, no major issues yet on the beta. However going forward I will be just using it as a plugin in photoshop as a tool to use sometimes rather than my main raw processor. I don't see this as a big negative to on1, as it is still a tool for me to use on some images to get the results I want.
I feel if Adobe hadn't of moved to a subscription model the push we have had recently for alternatives may of been much slower. So we have all benefited from it in some way. I have now moved over to Capture 1 to process my images (olympus raw files) and I prefer the results.
Just a quick "heads up" that ON1 2020 full version was released today.
Downloaded and installed, but haven't had time to play with it yet.
I've been using On1 exclusively for raw development for well over a year now, 2018, 2019 and now 2020 (full version) and I am delighted with it.Just wondering how those who have installed the full blown 2020 version are finding it. I have been tracking and paying for on1 RAW for 3 years or so but found it so so. I am impressed with initial plays of the new version (free trial) but need to be convinced to shell out for the license.

It's not perfect, but then again, neither is Lightroom.
I no longer have any Adobe products installed on my computer.
I dont particularly have a problem with Adobe as I like LR but I struggle with PS. I do like the additional elements that ON1 has that allows me to use some of the basic PS type functionality that I do use but I have found the software to be a bit buggy and slow over the years.
I have found a voucher that gives 20% discount on the upgrade price "SDP20" which knocks it down to £61. I am due to renew LR mid November but can't say I am keen to do so. I also use DxO PhotoLab 3 which works well.
If you like Lightroom you should have no problems adapting to On1 developer, since most of the controls are the same, although the interface layout is a bit different. I hated the interface layout of On1 at first and I still find it a little illogical, but you can get used to anything.I dont particularly have a problem with Adobe as I like LR but I struggle with PS.

Code doesn't work for me.
Thanks that was very interesting. I bought the upgrade this morning with the discount code so a worthwhile punt. I have been meaning to look at Affinity as it gets a lot of praise.If you like Lightroom you should have no problems adapting to On1 developer, since most of the controls are the same, although the interface layout is a bit different.

Where On1 scores over Adobe is the development "Extras" where there are a number of useful tools, for example "Dynamic Contrast" which I find give On1 the edge over LR.
Using On1 does require a different approach to LR, and your workflow needs to be changed slightly, particularly for highlight recovery. There are a number of video tutorials about the basics of raw development in On1, both on the On1 website and on YouTube.
The addition of layers does allow one to do some things that you would have previously required Photoshop for.
I too used to struggle with Photoshop (I had CS6) and I'm not sure why, but find the interface of Affinity Photo to be more user friendly than PS.
really. I will check it when I get home but I used it this morning to bite the bullet and upgrade to 2020. Cost me about £63 which isn’t bad.
My mistake - I had thought the code was for DXO.
Yes.Has anyone moved from Lightroom to this..
Yes.
