Press release:

Portland, OR – December 9, 2021 – ON1, creators of the best photo editing software applications for photographers, announce a new update for ON1 Photo RAW 2022. Version 2022.1 includes a one-of-a-kind re-editable Liquify Tool, a convenient way to log editing steps with Snapshots, all-new photo organizing features like Advanced Search and Smart Albums, and several other new features and enhancements.

ON1 Photo RAW 2022.1 is the ultimate editor. This robust photo organizer, raw processor, layered editor, and photo effects app can solve all of your photo editing needs. To top it off, ON1 Photo RAW 2022.1 can also be a complete desktop and mobile workflow ecosystem with mobile and cloud integration. 

"Our goals are aligned around making ON1 Photo RAW the best photo editing software for photographers. That will never change. This new update brings some great features and enhancements to help simplify workflows. Customers should also be excited about what is still to come in version 2022," says Craig Keudell, ON1 President.

New Features in ON1 Photo RAW 2022.1

  • Liquify Tool –– The new Liquify Tool lets you push, bloat, and pinch areas of your photo to reduce flaws or reshape regions. It's completely non-destructive, so you can easily adjust each stroke after the fact.
  • Advanced Search –– Finding the right photos got a lot easier with the new Advanced Search dialog. It harnesses the power of a modern database to search the metadata for all of your photos. This goes way beyond the basics to include searching on any combination of fields, with per-field operators and intelligent ranges.
  • Smart Albums –– Save your favorite searches as Smart Albums so you can get to just the right photos in an instant. You can create Smart Albums for your favorites, for holidays, recent edits, you name it.
  • Snapshots –– Snapshots let you freeze a point and time so you can always get back to it. They are perfect for comparing different treatments like color versus black and white.
  • Crop Tool Presets –– The crop tool now lets you store custom crop aspect ratios so you can quickly re-access them.
  • Visualize Dust When Retouching — Have you ever made a print to only see a big dust spot you hadn't noticed on your screen? Now it's easy to find all the dust and remove them with the new Visualize Dust option in the retouching tools. It makes the dust jump out, so you don't miss any.
  • Shared Presets — Presets you create or install from preset packs are now shared across all supported versions of ON1 apps, like ON1 Photo RAW and ON1 Effects.
  • Topographic Map –– If you are an outdoor enthusiast, you will appreciate the topographic map option in the map view.
  • Performance Improvements — Faster Background Export, Faster Opening of RAW Files, Improved GPU support for M1, and improved AI model for Sky Swap AI.
  • New Cameras — Added support for Raw files from the Canon EOS R3, Sony A7 IV, Ricoh GR IIIx, and Panasonic Lumix DC-GH5 II.
  • New Lenses –– OLYMPUS M.12-45mm F4.0
