The header shot for this review uses the Layers feature in ON1 Effects. Thanks to Sony for the photo shoot, by the way. What’s it like to use? This image started out with a black and white matte preset, and then I added the Border filter separately, then went back into the Black & White filter added by the preset and added a radial mask with reduced opacity to restore a little color to the bouquet. It has a spot removal tool which is effective on sensor dust and blemishes and unwanted objects, and it even supports layers – you can add another image as a new layer and blend it with the first. ON1 Effects also offers local adjustments for the whole image, plus individual masks for each filter if required. The presets are great, but no preset will immediately suit every image it’s applied to (in general, not just here), so the ability to make adjustments is both useful and in fact essential.Īnd if you create your own ‘look’ that you want to use again in the future, you can save that as a custom preset of your own, whether it’s one you made from scratch or an adaptation of an existing preset. The other is to start from a preset effect and then make any manual adjustments you need to. One is to start with a clean slate and choose your filters manually, combining and adjusting them as you go along. If you’ve ever used the DxO Nik Collection, you can think of ON1 Effects as rolling together the kind of tools you would find in Color Efex Pro, Analog Efex Pro and Silver Efex Pro. These can be used for regular adjustments like Color Balance, Curves and Sharpening, creative processes like Bleach Bypass, HDR and Vintage looks, special effects like Weather and Sun Flare, and analog film looks using Vintage, Antique, Film Grain filters and Borders. ON1 Effects offers no fewer than 31 individual filters. This is the Weather filter, which does a decent job of simulating a blizzard on this cold Icelandic beach. What can it do? ON1 Effects has 31 different filters which can be used individually or in combination, each one with its own mask. I’m reviewing ON1 Effects 2022 first because I think the Effects module is right at the heart of ON1 Photo RAW’s great feature set, and this makes a powerful creative companion for other program. By making some of its core components available separately, ON1 makes them individually cheaper and compatible with your existing workflow.Īctually, although ON1 calls them plug-ins, they do also work as standalone apps (like the DxO Nik Collection plug-ins), so this makes them compatible with a wider range of programs, including not just Photoshop and Lightroom Classic, but Affinity Photo, Apple Photos and Capture One too. ON1 recognises that people who already use another program aren’t always going to want to swap their whole imaging workflow over to ON1 Photo RAW. These plug-ins are available individually, but also as a 5-in-1 Pro Bundle. These include ON1 Resize AI 2022 (coming soon), ON1 NoNoise AI 2022, ON1 Effects 2022 (reviewed here), ON1 Portrait AI 2022 and ON. But ON1 has recently decided to split out key components in this software into individual pro plugins. ON1 Software publishes the all in one ON1 Photo RAW editor that combines image organizing, editing, effects, layers and more. Better still, it comes with an extensive collection of very good one-click presets that can provide both inspiration, consistency and a lot of manual adjustments. ON1 Effects 2022 is a creative effects plug-in that offers a wide range of photo effects filters that can be used individually or combined for practically endless creative permutations. What does it cost, where do you get it?.
