This update includes the new face recovery AI model that can detect faces and enhances them with realistic detail, making it perfect for upscaling old photos or cropping a person or headshot out of an image and upscaling it to super-resolution. Users can control the overall strength of the feature and turn it on or off for each face. The update also includes AI-based noise reduction for photos that look too grainy.
The raw processing engine has also been upgraded with new processing algorithms to create more natural shadows, fewer edge artifacts, and more predictable slider adjustments. The refine mask brush has been greatly improved, making it much better for masking challenging areas like hair and tree branches. Encircle option is a new feature in the refine mask tool which allows users to draw around the borders of an object or region to add or subtract from a mask, or even create a new detailed mask with the stroke of a brush.
Other improvements in ON1 Photo RAW 2023.5 include two new options for mask AI, making it easier to mask the background and foreground in photos of people and animals. The curves control in the effects module also includes a dropper tool to set and adjust points directly in the photo. Zooming and panning the preview as well as adjusting tool properties such as brush size can now be accomplished simultaneously with the scroll wheel for a faster, more natural workflow.
Craig Keudell, president of ON1 says, “This latest release will provide ON1 users with enhanced features, improved performance, and an overall better experience. We are confident that users will love the new features and improvements in ON1 Photo RAW 2023.5. It’s not a minor update by any means and could have easily made this the next major release of ON1 Photo RAW.”
