EXCELLENT! I love ON1 Raw 2025. I work mostly with wildlife photos on a SLOW laptop windows computer. To speed up my editing, I first crop and save each image as a 16-bit tif file. Then I use a No Noise preset to batch process these tif files to remove noise. Then I edit each tif file, typically local adjustment like Dynamic Contrast, Sunshine, Vignette effects.
Great video, Tom. Very helpful. Just one question regarding your thought process with applying a LUT last, after you have done all the other adjustments. When colour grading videos, a common approach is to apply a "look" (LUT/Power Grade etc.) at the timeline level to establish the overall look and then apply primary and secondary grading under that look for final adustments by clip. By applying the LUT last like you did, I woud think that a lot of the adjustments/edits done beforehand may be wasted since you may need to adjust them again after the LUT is applied. Of course, there are lots of ways to acheive a result and workflows are personal preference. I'm just interetsed to hear how you approach an edit and the reason behind it. Thanks again.
You make a excellent point! I do sometimes have to make exposure adjustments after applying a LUT so I understand why others would choose to apply a LUT in the beginning. If I had a clear vision of the finished version, I would do that too. I find that when I do use a LUT it is because I am near the end of my editing process, and want to explore additional looks to see if I like them any better or if I still prefer the colors that I am getting using the camera profile that I selected in the beginning of my process. Great question and hope that my explanation better helps you to understand my thought process.
Thanks for sharing the tip on creating a version. " Command ' " on a Mac and " Control ' " on a PC. May be hard to see, but it is Command or Control Apostrophe.
Is there any way to hide on1 files while in windows? I don't mind the files being created, I just don't like them cluttering up my folder. I understand this would be a windows setting but thought you might know. Thanks.
I don't know how to hide them, but you could sort the File Explorer window by Type and at least they will be grouped and not listed in between every JPG or Raw file.
I ran a couple of tests, and it looks like On1 still honors the .on1 files even though they are hidden. I would suggest doing a good bit of testing before processing a large batch of photos that are for a client or on your main directory. If you are not knowledgeable or uncomfortable with this process I suggest going with Tom's suggestion on sorting by type as there is always a risk when changing attributes of a file(s). Note: make a copy of a directory and work with that directory or directories for validation and not the original directory or directories. Open a command prompt (cmd) and run as Administrator To hide files: the +h will hide the files and the /S hides the current and all sub folders G:\test folder\R6mkii\Learning photos>attrib *.on1 +h /S To unhide files: the -h will hide the files and the /S hides the current and all sub folders G:\test folder\R6mkii\Learning photos>attrib *.on1 -h /S

Another great video with really helpful tips on an effective workflow. Looking forward to part 3 (PS much better use of background music 👍)
Awesome, thank you!
Great video and tips, always nice to add more tools to the toolbox.
Absolutely excellent. I've been using ON 1 but not as efficiently as presented here. Many thanks for the series, the first one was a gem as well.
You're very welcome!

@@TomCheswick Thanks Tom!
I enjoyed this. Thanks!
Glad you enjoyed it!
you can create a version in On1 just as you do in Lightroom Classic with the key command - command '

Open a command prompt (cmd) and run as Administrator
To hide files: the +h will hide the files and the /S hides the current and all sub folders
G:\test folder\R6mkii\Learning photos>attrib *.on1 +h /S
To unhide files: the -h will hide the files and the /S hides the current and all sub folders
G:\test folder\R6mkii\Learning photos>attrib *.on1 -h /S
