![]() ![]() It’s the ultimate photo editor you can own forever and not rent as a subscription. ON1 Photo RAW includes powerful Lightroom and Photoshop features with photo organizing, hundreds of photo effects, HDR, panorama stitching, masking and selection tools, layers, photo resizing, and much more - all in one app. If you found this useful, or have questions, hit a snag, etc.Today ON1 is releasing Photo RAW 2018.5, a powerful new photo editor and a raw processor that uses a state-of-the-art processing engine which provides a smooth and fun photo editing experience and delivers the highest quality results for your photos. I’ll be keeping this workflow in place and tweaking things until I am happy (so probably forever). I did this about 3 weeks ago and other than a few minor issues I have had no downsides. Now after waking up from your siesta, your images are cataloged, searchable, and everything is in a single logical location, removing an application step from workflow, and greatly simplifying things. Once you drag the folders where indicated, you can continue to work on the computer, or better yet, do this right before going to bed, running an ironman marathon, or deciding to work out π to the trillionth decimal place … with a lot of images this can take a while depending on your computer’s speed. Now you are ready to hit the Migrate button, go get some coffee, come back and check on the progress … and make more coffee… it can take a while to copy/export if you have a lot of images that were edited in LR. For copy options, I selected PSD, 16bit, ProPhoto RGB and 300 px/in as that is what the majority of my RAW files become anyway when I export them. This is what I forgot to do with my first attempted migration and I thought I had lost a lot of my work – learn from my screwups. Now the important part – if you have used LR to do any (and I mean ANY) editing, make sure that you choose Create copies of Photos with Lightroom Adjustments (see image below). ![]() In the dialog box that opens, make sure that you select (If you want to preserve your collections) Migrate Collections. In Lightroom select File → Plugin Extras → Migrate Catalog to On1 Photo. So you now have deleted a crapton of images, updated your EXIF and other metadata for your images. There are plenty of websites that will do the conversions, it’s just in my eyes, an unnecessary complexity. (Wink-Wink Nudge-Nudge oh On1 Photo Team). On1 Photo does not take decimal latitude and longitude so you need to convert it to DMS format (degree/minute/second) before pasting – something that annoys the crap out of me in all honesty. In Lightroom you can copy the GPS decimal coordinates right from Google Maps‘ URL and paste it. This is one area that still tweaks me the wrong way. ![]() This is easier in LR, especially if you need to add GPS EXIF data to your images. Take a moment now to go through and clean up your metadata – seriously. After you go and execute your creative failures and problem children, in the Lightroom catalog interface, clean things up by syncing all your photos to make sure everything is copacetic in the LR Database. I am horrible at deleting photos, but really do you need those completely blown out images that you will never get around to trying in abject failure to fix? No, really, you wont … so delete them from your Lightroom catalogs and your hard disk. Getting Started: Prep Lightroom and On1 Photoįirst things first – clean up your old photos. Things would have gone better if I had seen Dan Harlacher‘s great write-up on the On1 Photo Blog. The process was mostly painless, though I did have a couple gotchas that I needed to redo the first smaller Lightroom catalog I used to test the migration. ( No chickens were harmed in this Migration Ritual). With the release of On1 Photo Raw 2018.5 (most) of the kinks are out, to a point that I felt comfortable migrating everything over – after making two backups, lighting candles, drinking rum and cutting up a rubber chicken. Used under CC License: Attribution GTDrawingsįor a long time now, I have been using Adobe Lightroom for managing my photo collections and libraries, while using On1 Photo to perform the bulk of my editing, primarily because (in my eyes) On1 wasn’t yet mature enough to risk it. ![]()
