In terms of performance, ON1 continues to improve the software. Lens correction profiles, for both old and new lenses, are also included, and users will find the following references added: Canon EF 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6L IS II USM, Chinon 75-205mm f/3.8, KMZ Industar-50-2 3.5/50, KMZ Jupiter-37AM MC 3.5/135, Nikon AI-S Nikkor 105mm f/2.5, Olympus M.Zuiko Digital ED 17mm f/1.2 Pro, Olympus M.Zuiko Digital ED 25mm f/1.2 Pro, Olympus M.Zuiko Digital ED 45mm f/1.2 Pro, Pentax-FA 28-70mm f/4 AL, SLR Magic 8mm f/4, SIGMA 16mm F1.4 DC DN | C 017, SIGMA 30mm f/1.4 DC DN | C 016, Tamron SP 35mm f/1.8 Di VC USD F012, Tamron SP 70-200mm F/2.8 Di VC USD G2.

The update also adds supports to more cameras, as the Leica D-Lux 7 and Panasonic DMC-TZ101, and adds tethered shooting support for the Nikon Z 6, Z 7 and D850. ON1 Photo RAW 2019.2, though, is more than just a new masking tool. The regular tools used with masks are present, so you can adjust your final images as much as needed, but as the videos here demonstrate (I hope) the tool does work to make masking less time consuming. Powered by machine learning, the tool can create, says the company, “high-quality masks with just a few strokes as guidance while understanding color, tone, and textures to identify boundaries and create a detailed mask in a fraction of the time compared to other masking techniques”.

Still, the AI Quick Mask Tool from ON1 is a welcome addition to the software, as it does work almost automatically in a series of situations, and will also give users a good starting point in others. There are no magic solutions, in fact, and while all these new powerful features are welcome, and do make workflows faster, there continue to be limitations, as the use of different masking tools seems to demonstrate. With machine learning (or AI) it seems everything is easier and achievable, although, sometimes, the use in real world solutions reveals masking continues to be a task that requires time and patience.

The AI Quick Mask Tool is probably what will grab more attention, as it offers, yet, another solution for a task that for years was difficult and time consuming. The new release, a free update to ON1 Photo RAW 2019, introduces a series of new features requested by users or deemed important, covering everything from a powerful new masking feature that leverages AI for generating masks as well as performance enhancements and new camera support.

Photo editing tools continue to evolve for each new version, and the most recent update to ON1’s solution is an example of the path followed. The new ON1 Photo RAW 2019.2, now released, features new options, from tethered shooting with Nikon Z cameras to an AI Quick Mask tool powered by, you guess, machine learning.
