My ON1 Photo 10 Training Course
I can’t wait to start using this new version and as soon as I can I will be posting my thoughts and reviews. I will also be working on a new training video for Photo 10 and expect to have it available shortly after it’s release. Contact me and mention ON1 Photo 10 Training Course if you want to be one of the first to have access to my new training videos AND receive special savings and benefits. In the meantime you can save up to 40% on my 6-hr Perfect Photo Suite 9.5 training video. Current students of my 9.5 course will be able to upgrade to my Photo 10 course with a savings of at least 50%.
Here is the full press release from ON1:
Portland, OR – September 8, 2015 – ON1, Inc. has announced ON1 Photo 10, the next
generation of its photo editing and effects app for Mac OS X and Microsoft Windows.
Version 10 is a ground-up rework of Perfect Photo Suite 9, optimized for performance,
stability and ease of use. Up to 4x faster than the previous version and requiring less
memory to run, ON1 Photo 10 also includes an integrated mobile workflow, a modern
user interface, and the essential ON1 photo editing tools photographers have come to
love.
ON1 Photo 10’s enhancements include:
• A significantly improved Effects module. Filters respond faster than ever before and
presets are easier to find and apply. New preset categories have been added for
popular photography genres, and include settings for color grading and haze
reduction. The Perfect B&W module has been fully integrated into Effects, which lets
you apply any filter—including the popular Dynamic Contrast effect—to your
monochrome images. Lastly, you now have complete control over the organization of
your presets and preset categories, making it easy to customize Effects to work the
way you want.
• Two-way syncing of photos between ON1 Photo 10 and mobile devices with our free
Photo Via app for IOS. Photo Via lets you share albums, smart albums and folders of
photos between your desktop and your iPad or iPhone using Dropbox or Google
Drive. With Photo Via, you can search, rate and share photos easily from any iOS
device, and have the metadata synced back to your desktop.
• Better and faster workflow tools for working with faces in the Portrait module. Find
facial features quicker, even with side views or faces at an angle. Portrait is faster and
better than ever. The new way of working with facial features makes it easier to
retouch the areas you care about.
• Access to Resize from any module, which lets you use the photo enlargement
features of Perfect Resize from any part of ON1 Photo 10. Sharpen, add a watermark,
or create a gallery wrap when you want, without jumping to a different module.
• Color and tone controls that make sense. Use Enhance’s exposure adjustments,
better color controls, and improved highlight and shadow recovery to make your
photos pop before taking them into other editing modules.
• Browse’s new Smart Albums feature, which lets you put your most important photos
—wherever they are—at your fingertips. You can even automatically publish your
Smart Albums to your mobile device with Photo Via.
• A new export feature, which automates the process of creating photos for printing
and sharing. Take a single photo, or a group of photos, and create whatever size and
file format you need. Combined with our improved batch processing options, we
make it simple for you to print, share and manage your photos without undue
complexity.
Throughout ON1 Photo 10, you will find an improved user experience, with more
responsive sliders, tools that won’t stick, and a user interface that is snappy, modern
and easier to use. Most of ON1 Photo 10’s image processing algorithms utilize modern
video cards (GPUs), providing better overall performance, a new sharing feature for
posting photos directly to Facebook®, Twitter®, Messages®, Mail®, Flickr® and
more.
