![]() ![]() Although there are some additional controls if you go into the settings gearbox, I found these to not accomplish what I wanted or at least not easily. Notably, there was no way to select a certain tone by moving the cursor in the image itself to manipulate a la Lightroom. I also found the curves control to be not so much lacking in features, but it is just set up more as an effect rather than a primary tone control. I like having curves right out there where I can use them easily. It took me a bit to remember that the curves module is in Effects. One thing I missed in the develop tab was having curves along with the tone controls. This is another example of making something a little harder than it needs to be. After posing the question on a help forum, I discovered that you need to save the crop as a preset. I was looking for this in the crop dropdown menu, which makes sense to me. CroppingĪnother thing that is a bit harder to do in On1 is saving a custom crop. I do, however, find it awkward having some controls placed over on the left-hand side, such as the crop tool, retouching, transform, and especially a duplicate of the local tool. Plus, there are the effects, sky, portrait, and local tabs. All in all, though, it's pretty familiar for a Lightroom user. I often like to hide the presets, as I find the thumbnails take up a lot of room. ![]() The presets are there on the left side, and the tone and color controls are on the right in the develop tab. The layout of the editing controls is well organized and straightforward. Lightroom smoothed out the ghosting with ease, whereas On1 just couldn’t handle it, even on the highest setting for deghosting. But, when it came to a ghosting problem in the clouds, Lightroom's deghosting feature worked far better than On1’s on this particular image where, the clouds were obviously moving by at a decent clip. The HDR tool in On1 is robust and has a nice set of features for controlling what the look of the final image will be before developing, something which is lacking in Lightroom, which seems to rely much more on the software automatically making choices, which you can then alter after the fact. I like having both of those functions combined into one.Ī much more automated experience in Lightroom and the sky was ghost-free. As far as I can tell in On1, you need to create your HDR images first, then go back and stitch them together in a panorama. However, there’s no setting for creating HDR panoramas, which is something I often use in Lightroom. ![]() PanoramasĬreating panoramas is likewise very easy, just as it is in Lightroom. That final result is usually good, but it just takes a bit more time and effort to get there. I've always wondered why Lightroom does not include this feature, instead making me export images into Photoshop and use several steps to get to the final result. But this time, it worked smoothly and easily and gave me a great final image. I had tried it before in previous versions and did not have very satisfactory results. ![]() While not new, I also really like the focus stacking feature in On1 2022. I can only see this feature getting better over time as new controls and features are added. Even for a time-lapse newbie like me, it was super easy to select a series of images I had shot for that purpose and put together a quick time-lapse. One feature I enjoyed exploring and that will help On1 become part of my post-processing toolkit is the time-lapse creation feature. A nice and simple interface with decent features for newbies. ![]()
