What is ON1 Photo Raw 2023.1

ON1 Photo Raw 2023.1 is ON1 Photo Raw 2023’s mid-life crisis. But instead of hair implants and a two-seater sports car, ON1 PhotoRaw 2023.1 arrives with various bug fixes, refinements, and a handful of brand-new features.

If you’ve yet to be introduced to ON1’s flagship photo editor, I strongly recommend you drop by my original ON1 Photo Raw 2023 Review. But if you own ON1 Photo Raw 2023 – ON1 Photo Raw 2023.1 is yours for free.

What’s new in ON1 Photo Raw 2023.1

ON1 Photo Raw 2023.1 includes all the usual refinements and under-the-hood performance tweaks you’d expect from one of ON1’s mid-life updates. Notably, we’re getting enhanced performance from ON1 NoNoise AI, which is already one of the best noise-reduction software apps – plus a tweaked version of Resize AI.

But what we really care about is ON1 Photo Raw 2023.1’s new features.

1. Adjustable Font Size Control

You can now change the size of ON1 Photo Raw 2023’s user interface text. While this feature is unlikely to break the internet – it’s a substantial quality-of-life improvement, particularly if you suffer from poor vision or use small or high-resolution displays.

2. Crop Overlays

You might not have thought much about your crop overlay, but ON1 has. In ON1 Photo Raw 2023.1, you can change your crop overlay to match the rule of thirds, the golden spiral, and more. This might be one of those things you never thought you needed – until now.

3. Improved Sky Swap AI

Sky Replacement has come a long way but can struggle with unusual compositions. To this end, ON1 Photo RAW 2023.1 now has two Sky Swap models – Model A and Model B. Model A remains the best option for conventional sky/land composition.

4. Enhanced Healing Brush

In ON1 Photo Raw 2023.1, you can resize, flip, and rotate your healing brush’s sample selection. The video below offers a much more straightforward explanation.

5. Enhanced Healing Brush – Copy mode

As the name suggests, ON1 Photo Raw 2023.1’s Healing Brush can copy and replicate your selection. It works very well on horses.

6. Enhanced Healing Brush – Move Mode

With ON1 Photo Raw 2023.1, you can use the Healing Brush to lift an object from its location and move it to another.

Conclusion

ON1 Photo Raw 2023.1 is a good-value and well-considered update for ON1 Photo Raw 2023. And given the update is free, ON1 Photo Raw 2023.1 is a no-brainer – particularly if you like a good Healing Brush.

Now is a good time to board if you’re not already on the ON1 Photo Raw bandwagon. Even without this update, ON1 Photo Raw 2023 is absurdly feature-rich despite costing fewer dollars than less-capable photo editors. If you want to know more, read my ON1 Photo Raw 2023 Review.

For this reason, I consider ON1 Photo Raw 2023.1 a Cherry-on-top update. And who doesn’t like Cherries?
