ON1 has announced that version 2024.5 is coming out this month. It's key new features include:
- Updated Super Select AI and Quick Mask AI for vastly improved masking
- Massive Speed and Performance Upgrades
- Intelligent Color & Tone Adjustments with Brilliance AI
- Auto Apply NoNoise AI and Portrait Retouching with Brilliance AI
- Apply Local Adjustments Automatically

ON1 Photo RAW comes in two editions, with ON1 Photo RAW MAX containing all the same tools as the regular ON1 Photo RAW, but the MAX edition adds plugin compatibility so you can launch your favorite ON1 tools from inside other editors like Adobe Ps/Lr, Affinity, Apple Photos, and others, for a more flexible workflow.
Right now you can order and download immediately version 2024.3 at a special discounted price and that gives you 2024.5 as soon as it's released. When you purchase a license, you have all the minor upgrades for free until the next major version (2025 in this case) comes out.
I have personally always liked ON1's products so I'm looking forward to getting my hands dirty with the new release.
- ON1 PhotoRAW 2024 Pricing: Now $74.89 (Regularly $106.99)
- ON1 Photo RAW 2024 MAX Pricing: Now $149.79 (Regularly $213.99)
We have a demonstration of the Brilliance AI feature, which certainly seems to take alot of work out of the equation and allows you to rapidly adjust tone, color, intelligently boosting shadows and highlights. While this is not a feature exclusively to the .5 release it's certainly nothworthy if you have never used ON1 PhotoRAW before. Not to mention, I just like the before and after slider and just wanted an excuse to add it.
ON1 PhotoRaw 2024.5 Press Release
ON1, the leading provider of innovative photo editing software applications, is excited to announce the upcoming release of ON1 Photo RAW 2024.5, a new update with huge performance gains and precision masking tools. This exciting update unleashes powerful new features designed to elevate the photo editing experience for photography professionals and enthusiasts.
“We strive to improve performance with every release. Usually, we can eke out a boost here and there which positively impacts your workflow. However, this update is the big one. It is the most pervasive performance boost we’ve had. You will feel it almost everywhere in Edit. Opening photos is faster, brushing is faster, and zooming is faster. If you work with many layers and filters, you will feel the difference,” says Dan Harachler, VP of product.
ON1 Photo RAW 2024.5 underscores ON1’s commitment to developing cutting-edge technologies that support photographers without compromising their creative vision and control.
WHAT'S NEW IN PHOTO RAW 2024.5
New and Improved Super Select AI – Our innovative point, click, and edit tool just got better. The enhanced Super Select AI tool can now identify and select any object, not just those it recognizes. This makes adjustments to areas like clothing, hair, skin, and individual flowers much faster. Simply click on an object or region, select an adjustment, and you're done. No more creating layers and adding filters and masks.
New and Improved Quick Mask AI Tool – Similar to the Super Select AI tool, the upgraded Quick Mask AI tool offers point-and-click editing for masks, simplifying the blending of layers and filters.
Optimized Performance – This update brings the most significant performance boosts yet! Almost everything in Edit feels faster. Opening raw files is now up to twice as fast, making it almost instantaneous. Opening .ONPhoto files (your creations from HDR, Pano, or multiple layers) is over twice as fast. Zooming, panning, and brushing are now buttery smooth, even on complex photos with many layers and filters. These improvements result from innovative methods we've developed to utilize the GPU and reduce memory usage.
Smaller Installer and More Frequent Updates – This release also includes a re-engineered app and update delivery method. The product installer is now much smaller, making it faster to download and install. Upon launching the app, it automatically checks for updates and downloads any missing or updated components. This allows us to update camera support, AI models, and extra content more frequently, making updates much smaller.
Added Camera and Lens Support – As with all updates, support for new raw formats and profiles for the latest cameras and lenses.

Version 2024.5, coming this June, will be a free update for all 2024 owners and subscribers. They will be notified via the in-app update when it is available.
