![]() In addition to BROWSE, there are DEVELOP, EFFECTS, LAYERS and RESIZE. Instead of selecting modules across the top of the screen, you select them from the right side. Regular Lightroom users will notice one big difference. You will see your Navigation, Histogram and file info over here as well as the ability to add keywords, and other metadata as well as leverage the EXIF and IPTC information that is already in the file. On the right side is a panel very similar to the Library panel in Lightroom, but without the import stuff. Lover's of Lightroom's Digital Asset Management (DAM) capability will likely use ON1 Photo RAW 2017.5 as a plugin, but I know lots of people who find Lightroom's Library system to be challenging and only ever ADD their existing folder structure to Lightroom's catalogue. What does not exist is any kind of import or catalogue function. The left panels ensure that a Lightroom user who knows even partially Lightroom's Library mode is going to be moving fast. Once you select an image from BROWSE, you get the option to view it in a grid, full screen (like Lightroom's loupe view), full screen with a filmstrip or compare a couple of images. A click on a group, drills in to show you all the presets in a group. If you click it from browse mode, you will see a panel listing of all the different preset groups. ![]() ![]() The second tab in the left panel is the PRESETS tab. If you don't want to see the panel you can hide it and you can get context sensitive help. Below that are search tools including filters and a recent file listing. Albums are available in the left hand panel. Your photos don't move around, the album knows where they are stored. Where Lightroom uses Collections, ON1 Photo RAW 2017.5 is more like the old Aperture in that in uses the term Albums to refer to virtual collections. There are also icons to allow you to view by computer, pictures folder, favourites, attached drives, cloud services and albums On the left side top is a list of your available local storage as well as links to Dropbox, Google Drive and Microsoft OneDrive. While it has been tweaked, it has a familiar look and feel to prior ON1 products and opens in the default BROWSE mode. When you launch ON1 Photo RAW 2017.5 you get the potentially familiar ON1 user interface. Online validation is pretty standard, and just like the Adobe products, once validated, you do not always need to have a live Internet connection. ![]() This performs the license validation and also checks for new information. You download the software and on first launch you either create or login to your existing ON1 account. When you look at ON1 Photo RAW 2017.5, it's not a marginal update, it's truly an incremental upgrade with brand new features and functionality. That bit of perceived heresy was the first indicator that there is a market for solutions that work with Adobe products, and a market for solutions that didn't require the presence of Adobe products. For some users, particularly those uncomfortable with subscriptions, or not needing to get the full depth and breadth of Photoshop, and not requiring or wanting the digital asset management capability of Lightroom, ON1 Photo RAW 2017 was a completely viable and solid answer. ![]() When ON1 Photo RAW 2017 was first released, the real big deal was not that it was a powerful set of plugins to Lightroom and Photoshop, which it is, but that it can run completely independently of Lightroom and Photoshop including RAW decoding. The update is free to existing users and available at a discounted announcement price to new users. The good people over at ON1 have released a significant upgrade to ON1 Photo RAW 2017. ![]()
