On the right are panels that allow you to place the image on the workspace, including various percentages of size, including 100 percent for fine detail work. As we go through some setups you’ll see how each one is used. The Masking Bug comes next, which is like a selection tool that combines with an intensity and range tool. Next is the Brush tool for painting in and out and erasing areas of an image on one or both layers. A pair of scissors indicates the Trim tool, for cropping should you need it and for making crops if you lay a vertical onto a horizontal image. Starting from the top you have a cross, which is the Transform tool that lets you crop, size, and move one or both layers. Take a look at the workspace shown in #1. As I say it's not prefect- far from it although I'm learning different tricks as I poke along. The actual layer pallets is where you blend files/make collages and the likes so that is seldom used in most single file editing. However when the right button is click the blending options pallet opens (just found it) and to be better than abode you just need to run the cursor over the different options to see the actual effect which can selectively adjusted with the masking tools The same set up is used in On1 Effects so there is still not the PS looking layers pallet. I still feel LR is better for basic raw editing and I have notice a few ON1 gurus do use LR first The layers in ON1 raw pp is not a lot different to using various tools in LR however, how those tools are actually listed as a "layers" stack is the different part.
However atm I cannot see myself "investing" more money into new versions past LR5 hence the need to look elsewhere Lightroom IMO is still the program for those who want o ne program and it is very powerful editing platform for those who do invest in the time to learn. Weekend happy snappers don't need ALL that stuff. However I think ON1 would be a good starting point for newbies/less experienced/casual happy-snappers and those who don't want to be "lock" into CC or the catalog system that seems to create most questions of this forumĪTM I'm happy to suuport a program that at least seems an alternative or a future alternative to adobe ps which has become too big imo. If you are a heavy adobe user and have a set work flow or cannot open your mind to something new and verydifferent than ON1 is likely not for you. Yes I did wander through older ON1 quickly, but didn't stop there long enough to learn or even find the parts I could use I'm now kicking myself I didn't wake up to ON1 earlier. It's far harder to learn a new program when you are very used to others - who remembers the dramas we had when learning the LR after knowing the PS way. LR/PS are still best for pros IMO and those who are 'locked' mentally into adobe - I'm not sure ON1 would offer them a lot. I have forgotten mostly what PS could do and I how I used it but I never had newer than CS3 I have reinstalled PSE12 just to line up files in collages as on1 doesn't have a ruler grid PSE is also better for moving layers around. I still use LR5, it's still best for filing and most raw pp but then most files go into on1 to add a bit of wow factor. Editing layers are rather different to PS Have you used it? I don't mean for a few hours or days. I'm liking it Dave certainly not perfect but what program is?.
