But I can certainly see the desire for users who often are shooting at higher ISOs, and the addition of noise reduction to the local adjustments tool in Photo RAW certainly gets the job done.
#ON1 EFFECTS 2018 ISO#
Personally, this isn't a tool I'd ever use as I very rarely am shooting at an ISO that produces noticeable noise and when I do, I prefer my image to have a consistent noise profile.
In my testing, it worked wonderfully allowing me to effectively eliminate noise in specific areas of shadow where noise tends to become more pronounced. The masking features in Photo RAW 2018 works very well and are welcome additions to the application.īeing able to brush away noise without needing to apply noise reduction to the entire image is an interesting addition to match the offering of Photo RAW's competitors. A luminosity mask tool has also been added to help quickly select either the highlights or shadows of an image, which, in certain situations, can be incredibly useful. A density adjustment has also been added to masking which allows the user to effectively fade the mask to decrease the effect which functions fantastically and is a strong addition. Global masking allows the user to adjust the mask after it has been created by adding a feather to blur the mask which works exactly as expected, great for gradated effects. Photo RAW 2018 introduces a more advanced masking tool set by adding global and luminosity masking. In all, for some users versions adds a critical tool to the Photo RAW workflow that brings it more in line with its primary competitor. As far as I can tell, versions is effectively the same as Lightroom's virtual copies and functions exactly as can be expected. The versions feature is a pretty simple addition that creates another copy of a given image without actually copying the image so that you can experiment with different post-processing settings without increasing the file size on your desktop. One other thing worth noting is that, unlike Lightroom which stitches raw files into a larger raw file, Photo RAW stitches images into a 16-bit PSD file.
I noticed this issue particularly with shallow depth of field images such as the one below. In my tests, it was unable to compute panoramas that other apps were able to do without a problem. Unfortunately, the warning dialogue is accurate in that the algorithm isn't perfect. Photo RAW then computes a preview of the stitch surprisingly quickly, in my tests faster than Lightroom or Photoshop. For anyone familiar with panoramic stitching in Lightroom, the Photo RAW tool will be quite familiar as it also involved selecting the various images involved in the stitch then simply right-clicking and selecting "Merge to Panorama." Next, the user is presented with a warning dialogue reminding the user that the panorama stitching tool is still under development and that results may not be perfect. New in ON1 Photo RAW 2018 is the addition of a panoramic stitching feature.
