![]() ![]() Photo Mechanic Plus is wonderfully and fully IPTC compliant. Ironically, its major negative (it’s proprietary formats) I am trying to turn into a major positive. I use it only for its DAM capabilities and I do so hand-in-hand with Photo Mechanic Plus. However, I am persisting with it despite the frustrations because it is so fast and the interface works well. There is something about ACDSee that I love too - though on a Mac it is not as fully featured as the Win versions and I have to use some fairly clunky workarounds to get it to share metadata, ratings and labels with my other photo editing programs. Lesson learned.) And as for On1 2023, the company has just had a major upgrade, which obviously has done nothing to address their current problem, but perhaps by spring 2023 the program could be safely used. Taking the information from you, I've fully backed up my RAW files, a number of which contained irreplaceable images (I should have backed them up anyway. The really unfortunate part is that I believe that to get the most out of NEO I will have to purchase all of their modules, which is a really unpleasant expense, but I just can't trust On1 for now. I'm also using Photoshop and Luminar NEO, and so I'm going to be deep-diving into the latest updates and capabilities from those programs, saving my results in psd, and for now only using On1 as a plug-in with Photoshop. Obviously, the developers of On1 2023 rushed the product to market without fully developing and beta testing it. ![]() (Fortunately, the image I was working on was from one of their tutorials, and the basic starting photo did not disappear.) When I restarted the program it told me that On1 2023 had quit suddenly, and asked me if I would like to send a report. While manipulating an image in Effects, using various effects combined with each other, the entire program suddenly quit on me, taking everything with it. In a certain manner I'm afraid that I'm forced to agree with you, although my experience so far has been different from yours. I'd be indulging in the sort of hyperbole I derided at the outset if I said that you should delete it too. Needless to say, I have deleted ON1 Photo Raw 2023 and shall be using PhotoLab to a greater extent from now on, while retaining ON1 Photo Raw 2022 for the panoramas and timelapses. Hence, the computer has plenty of power and resources even for something like ON1 Photo Raw. ![]() No photo editing software under any circumstances should be able to delete entire folders of photos without asking! No matter what the reason for its malfunction.įor the record, I am using a M2 MacBook Air with 24Gb of Ram and MacOS Monterey. However, had these been taken recently, I might not have backed them up yet and I could have lost them all forever. Fortunately I have a back-up on another drive and I was able to reinstate them. Neither were the photos in the trash: they had gone completely! I checked the external hard drive containing my photo library and indeed the entire folder had been deleted. I then clicked on the Edit icon on the right-hand side of the screen to take me into the Edit mode.īUT, the image I was working on disappeared, as did all the photos in the folder, and I was now in a different folder of photos. I opened a folder of photographs in my photo library, examined them in the browser, and, finding the one I wanted to edit, I double-clicked on it to enlarge it (Note: strangely, the program then asked me if I wanted to set a double click to "Zoom" or "Edit" even though just a few moments earlier I had set this as the default behaviour in the Preferences). Tonight, I installed the trail version of ON1 Photo Raw 2023. I like ON1 Photo Raw as a "do all" application, and I especially like using it for portraits, panoramas, timelapse and quick edits.even though my testing, time and again, has shown DxO PhotoLab to have a far superior raw converter. I fully expected to get the 2023 version, even though most of the new additions were not that important for me – I especially hoped (as I do every year) that this version would be faster. I have been a user of ON1 Photo Raw from the get-go (back when it was called ON1 Effects 10.5) and I have owned every version of ON1 Photo Raw since 2017. I would feel remiss, then, if I did not warn you about a serious issue I have encountered with ON1 Photo Raw 2023. However, I have learned a lot from these forums and, especially when I have had some technical issues peculiar to my own needs, members have always chimed in with useful comments and advice. Hi All, I am not one to engage in hyperbole or unnecessary criticism: as you will see from my profile, I am mainly a reader rather than a poster to these forums (I've posted an average of only about 6 posts/year during my 15 years of membership). ![]()
