Generative Eraser Enhancements

Our Generative Eraser has received a significant boost in both ease of use and functionality.

Here’s what’s changed:

• Retry Option on Generate: The Generate button now includes a Retry option, making it easier than ever to refine your edits. After painting over an object you want to remove, press Generate. If the result isn’t what you hoped for, simply hit Retry to generate new options. With each Retry, you can go back through previous results using the undo feature, allowing you to choose your favorite look.
• New Design for the Generate Button: The Generate button is now larger and clearly labeled, enhancing its visibility and ease of access.
• Cancel Option Added: Sometimes, you may want to cancel an edit without saving. Now, you have a cancel button that lets you stop the process at any time without committing the changes.
• More Accurate Removals: We’ve refined the underlying technology to reduce instances where unintended objects like people, animals, or vehicles might appear in place of the item you’re erasing. This should happen less often, but if it does, the Retry option is there to help.
  • Tip: For best results, use the Generative Eraser on large or complex objects. For smaller areas, the Perfect Eraser is typically faster, more efficient, and uses less memory.
• Content Moderation Adjustments: We’ve adjusted the content moderation dialogue so that it appears less often, especially when it involves non-NSFW yet distorted images that don’t meet quality standards. Note, however, that if your photo includes NSFW content or attempts to generate it, the moderation prompt will still appear, as this is a requirement for generative AI licensing.
• Learn More About Stability Button: We’ve added a button to help you learn more about Stability, including setting up an account.

Additional Improvements

• Tool Options Bars: The Tool Options Bars now remain visible by default. If you prefer the auto-hide setting, you can adjust it in your preferences. We also made some visual tweaks to make the bars blend seamlessly with the rest of the application.
• Bug Fixes: We tackled the top crashing bugs reported by users, making the software even more stable and reliable.

Welcome back to another thrilling recap of ON1 Plus highlights! Let’s dive into the excitement of September!

This month, we explored the borders filter, adding creative edges to our photos, and mastered masking in the effects tab for precise control over edits. We also dove into the text tool, learning how to enhance our images with stylish typography. September brought an exciting Edit Explorer episode where we uncovered new techniques, and we also released exclusive loyalty rewards to thank our amazing community. It was a month full of learning and rewards worth celebrating!

How to Use the Borders Filter: In this video, I’m going to show you how to use the borders filter in ON1 Photo RAW to enhance your photos. We’ll start by downloading custom borders from the Creative Library and importing them into the software. Once we’ve got our borders, I’ll guide you through applying them by heading to the Effects tab, where we can tweak things like blend mode, opacity, tone, and color. I’ll also show you how to adjust the size of the border, fit your image inside it, and even rotate or flip it if needed. You can also play around with the colorization and scaling options for even more customization. Watch the tutorial here.

How to Mask the Effects Tab: In this ON1 Plus tip video, we’re learning how to mask the Effects tab with multiple filters in ON1 Photo RAW 2024.

Watch the tip video here.

How to Use the Text Tool: In this ON1 Tip Video, we will learn how to use the text tool in On1 Photo Raw to add and customize text layers in photographs. We’ll go over accessing the text tool, modifying font styles, sizes, and colors, and adjusting text box dimensions to fit the content.

Generative AI transforms photography and photo editing by offering tools that simplify complex tasks like removing distractions and expanding image boundaries. At ON1, we’ve integrated AI into our products for over five years, and in Photo RAW 2025, we’re introducing new features like the Generative Eraser, Generative Crop, and Generative Replace. These tools allow photographers to enhance images with speed and precision. You can run them locally on your computer or use a cloud-based option through our partner, Stability.ai. While generative AI isn’t perfect, it offers exciting opportunities for creativity and efficiency in photography.

Today, photography, like many other endeavors, is impacted by artificial intelligence, or AI for short. AI, also called machine learning, is transforming how many sectors operate. It can simplify complex tasks, improve search results, find data correlations, and more. In the world of photography, it enhances results and speeds up repetitive tasks. At ON1, we’ve been using AI in our products for over five years, so we are no strangers to its capabilities. Our approach to AI is to assist photographers in solving complex or repetitive tasks.

AI technology is evolving faster than anyone could have predicted. It has moved from a novelty to a mainstream business imperative in just a few years. The rapidly changing technology is being driven by new types of AI, such as large language models and diffusion models. These newer models possess greater contextual understanding than earlier generations and can produce astounding results that rival human output. In the photography space, diffusion models have given rise to what we call generative AI—the ability to create new pixels, including entire images, from basic text or other minimal input. Like any new technology, it can be used for both good and harm. Many photographers worry about being replaced by AI or having their photos stolen by it. Additionally, this technology can create scenes that never existed in reality, which to many feels like the antithesis of photography.

Fearmongering aside, when used responsibly generative AI is super valuable. Two areas where it can enhance real photographs are in removing large distractions and expanding the photo’s boundaries. Both tasks have traditional, non-AI solutions that photographers have used for years, but mastering these skills can take years. Generative AI allows us to accomplish these tasks much faster. In Photo RAW 2025, we introduce generative AI in the form of the Generative Eraser and Generative Crop.

Think of the Generative Eraser as the evolution of the Perfect Eraser. It will be the new standard for removing large distractions from your photos. However, this doesn’t mean it will be suitable for everything. We still recommend the non-destructive healing brush for small or simple retouching tasks, which works well in many everyday situations. But when dealing with more challenging tasks like removing photobombers, bystanders, signs, braces, cars, etc., the Generative Eraser excels. The workflow is slightly different, as generative AI doesn’t produce the same result when identical input is given repeatedly. Therefore, the results must be saved rather than replayed like other non-destructive settings. The output from the Generative Eraser is applied to a new copy of the layer you’re working on, allowing you to retry as much as you like to achieve the desired result.

Similarly, think of Generative Crop as the next step beyond content-aware crop. It’s an option when you use the crop tool to expand the canvas beyond the original photo, allowing you to recompose the shot if necessary. It’s like zooming out after the fact. The results from Generative Crop far surpass the quality of content-aware crop. Like the Generative Eraser, its results are created on a new layer copy.

As part of the Photo RAW 2025 product lifecycle, we will introduce a third generative AI tool—Generative Replace. This new option within the Generative Eraser allows you to use a text prompt to influence the generation of a specific area. For example, you could add a bird to a fence or place the moon in the sky.

At this point, you may be wondering what is required to use these features. We offer a solution that works locally on your computer and an option that works in the cloud with a partner. To use these features locally, you’ll need a modern GPU with at least 4GB of VRAM. These GPUs include the RTX 1070, 2060, 3050, and 4060 or better for NVIDIA or the Radeon 570, 5300XT, 6400, or 7600 for AMD. Of course, each card does require the latest drivers. Apple Silicon systems with 16GB or more RAM will work as well. Running these features locally instead of in the cloud protects your privacy since no photos go there. It also allows us to provide generative AI features without requiring a subscription. Keep in mind that diffusion models are typically run in the cloud on large servers equipped with specialized GPUs designed for AI processing. To make these models functional on standard PC gamer GPUs, we’ve had to scale them down. While they should generally yield acceptable results, they may not be as precise as some cloud-based solutions.

If your system doesn’t meet the minimum recommended requirements, we’ve partnered with Stability.ai, the creators of Stable Diffusion, for an in-app integration with their cloud-based service. Visit dreamstudio.ai to create an account and purchase credits. Then, enter your Stability key in Photo RAW, and Photo RAW will use Stability in the cloud for these tools. (Each tool usage currently costs 3–4 credits, with each credit priced at one cent USD at the time of this writing). Anyone can use Stability integration, as it is not limited to users with low-end systems. The Stability integration can sometimes yield different results, which may be better in some cases, and it can also be faster depending on your hardware specifications. Stability.ai’s terms of service protect your privacy.

Now, let’s discuss what to expect in terms of results when using these tools. While it’s an exciting and valuable development, it is imperfect, just like any other AI-based tool. You’ll usually get excellent, usable results on the first try with most photo editors using this technology. Sometimes, however, you may need to retry to achieve the results you want. Remember, each attempt will yield different outcomes. We return the results to a copy of the original photo layer, allowing you greater control over blending and adjustments. In our tests, our results are comparable to those of others editors with the same techhnology. Nobody does a great job 100% of the time, but all of them do pretty darn good most of  the time. You can view a few examples below. As with all AI features, there may be times when it fails to deliver the desired results, but again, as you can see, not everyone is perfect 100% of the time. Rest assured, we are continuously working to improve the output and provide updated models as we train them.

Generative AI is a powerful tool that reshapes the landscape of photography and photo editing. At ON1, our goal is to empower photographers with AI that simplifies complex tasks without compromising the artistic integrity of their work.

With tools like the Generative Eraser, Generative Crop, and the upcoming Generative Replace, we are very excited to continue exploring this technology’s potential. As AI continues to evolve, so will our products, always with the photographer’s needs first.

Welcome back to another thrilling recap of ON1 Plus highlights! Let’s dive into the excitement of August!

August was a month packed with exciting learning experiences! We dove into pet portraits, exploring techniques to capture the perfect shot of our furry friends. We also mastered commonly used blend modes, adding depth and creativity to our edits. From learning how to enhance details in our images to capturing stunning panoramas, August provided us with the tools to elevate our photography and editing skills. It was a month of growth, and the highlights are definitely worth revisiting!

How to Enhance Details: Learn how to enhance detail and texture in your photos using ON1 Photo RAW. The video covers various methods, including the structure slider in the Develop tab for global adjustments, and the Dynamic Contrast filter in the Effects tab for more targeted enhancements. You’ll also explore additional filters like Bleach Bypass and HDR Look, and how to use local adjustments for precise control. Whether you want to make your photos pop or add subtle texture, this video provides the necessary tools and techniques. Watch the tutorial here.

Commonly Used Blend Modes – Part 1: Dive into three commonly used Blend Modes in ON1 Photo RAW: Multiply, Screen, and Luminosity. The Multiply Blend Mode is perfect for darkening images and removing white backgrounds from layers, like isolating subjects such as birds. The Screen Blend Mode does the opposite, brightening images and creating effects like double exposure by blending multiple layers. Finally, the Luminosity Blend Mode allows for tonal adjustments without altering the image’s colors, making it ideal for maintaining color integrity while enhancing contrast and midtones. Watch the tip video here.

Style Talk – In-Camera Styles: We’re exploring the creative possibilities of in-camera styles. Instead of focusing on a specific photo genre, we’ll discuss how to use various in-camera settings to modify the look of your images directly from the camera, without needing to dive into post-processing. By shooting in both RAW and JPEG, you can maintain the flexibility of RAW files while enjoying the immediate results of styled JPEGs. We’ll cover different styles available on various DSLR cameras, such as landscape, vivid, portrait, and black and white, and delve into more specialized effects like retro, monochromatic, and film simulations. This is a great way to create unique images straight from your camera and easily share them on social media. Check out the in-camera styles here.

Style Talk – Pet Portraits: In this episode, we’ll explore how to capture stunning portraits of your pets with simple, effective techniques. You don’t need fancy gear; even your mobile device can produce amazing pet photos, thanks to features like portrait mode. For those using DSLR cameras, I’ll recommend lenses with lower apertures to achieve a beautiful shallow depth of field, helping your pet stand out from the background. Key tips include getting down to your pet’s eye level for more engaging shots and focusing on their eyes to ensure they’re sharp and captivating. Patience is essential, as pets can be unpredictable, but with these techniques, you’ll be able to capture the best moments of your furry friends. Watch the tutorial here.

Edit Explorer – August: In Edit Explorer, we dive deep into submitted photo edits, offering constructive feedback and valuable tips that can enhance your photo editing workflows and techniques. Watch Edit Explorer here.

Epic Landscape Presets: Transform your outdoor photography with our Epic Landscape Presets for ON1 Photo RAW. These meticulously crafted presets enhance the natural beauty of your landscape photos, bringing out vibrant colors, rich textures, and stunning contrasts. Whether you’re capturing majestic mountains, serene lakes, or vast deserts, our presets will elevate your images to a whole new level, making them look truly epic. Download the presets here.

Portland, OR—September 3, 2024—ON1, the developers of professional-grade photo editing software, proudly announce the upcoming release of ON1 Photo RAW 2025. This latest version will include an incredible blend of new technologies, features, and significant improvements to existing tools. The release is currently slated for October.

Updated 10/21/2024 — ON1 Photo RAW 2025 is officially released!

Revolutionizing Retouching with Generative AI and Depth-Aware Editing
ON1 Photo RAW 2025 introduces new and powerful generative AI features that enhance the content-aware capabilities of both the crop and new Generative Erase tools. These updates enable photographers to extend canvases more naturally and remove large distractions, like people or cars, while filling in missing details with realistic results. Additionally, the new Depth Masks feature utilizes powerful AI models to infer the depth within a scene, allowing photographers to blend or apply adjustments or effects based on the scene’s depth. This adds a layer of control that hasn’t existed before, making effects like lens blur and other adjustments more natural. See the new features in action

Automated Editing Tasks for Removing Common Distractions
The introduction of automatic detection and removal of common distractions, like sensor dust and power lines are also new features coming in this release.

Enhanced Color Editing & Layout Creation
ON1 Photo RAW 2025 expands its color editing capabilities with two new filters. The Edit Color filter offers precise hue, saturation, and brightness control within specific color ranges. The new Match Color filter allows photographers to apply the color from one image to another, making it the perfect tool to mimic others’ looks and style. Additionally, improvements to the new canvas dialog simplify the creation of layouts, making it easier to set common sizes and add your photos in one step.

Streamlined Organization
Photo organization will also be enhanced with the new Target Album feature, allowing users to set an album as a target and quickly add photos to the album with a shortcut key. This will help streamline sorting through extensive collections of images, making album management faster. To further enhance the organization of your photos, ON1 Photo RAW 2025 introduces Stacking. This feature is handy for organizing brackets, bursts, and other grouped shots, reducing clutter and speeding up the culling process.

What’s Coming Next
Looking forward, ON1 is excited to reveal several features and updates that will arrive soon after the initial release of version 2025 including an enhanced Generative Eraser that automatically detects and removes distractions like sensor dust, wires, vehicles, and people with a single click. You’ll also be able to point and click on objects for easy removal, thanks to new AI-powered object detection. Automatic Stacking will group similar images by visual likeness or capture times, streamlining your workflow. Additionally, Face Restoration from Resize will be available in Edit, allowing you to enhance small or out-of-focus faces with stunning, realistic detail, making it perfect for photo restoration.
