The tone and color settings in the Develop module of ON1 Photo Raw 2022 give great one-click results that are much closer to results than I’ve ever achieved with Lightroom’s automatic settings, so I don’t have to make manual adjustments.

ON1 Resize AI 2022 pricing and availability This is perhaps the first time we can say that image upsizing is genuinely worth doing as a workflow routine rather than an occasional emergency measure. Our remarks may sound like faint praise, but with a good quality digital image from a DSLR or mirrorless camera, say, ON1 Resize AI’s results are truly spectacular. On our test machine, resizing an image could take 1-3 minutes, depending on the size of the original. ON1 Resize AI 2022 is spectacularly effective with edges and natural textures, but less so with text, where you’re probably not going to be able to read anything on the edge of illegibility in the original.

We found that if text was too small to make out properly in the original, ON1 Resize couldn't really help much. ON1's example of text enlargement is impressive, but the text is still legible in the 'before' version. ON1 says that the process can remove JPEG artefacts, but we found the opposite with one 1200 pixel wide press image we tried to enlarge – it exaggerated some edge effects not really obvious in the original. The tests we did with smaller-sensor cameras were less successful, as these have digital artefacts and imperfectons that the resizing process may either exaggerate or smooth over somewhat.

The results can be quite spectacular, even hard to believe.We were sent an early access release to try out, and here’s a quick run-down of what we found: (Image credit: Rod Lawton) (opens in new tab) ON1 Resize AI 2022 first impressions The increased sharpness and detail in the ON1 enlargement (right) compared to the magnified original (left) is remarkable.

Here's a 2x enlargement (2x on both sides, so 4x overall) of a 4.6-megapixel JPEG from a Sigma DP1. Unlike Adobe's Super Resolution tool, ON1 Resize AI can work on JPEGs and TIFFs, and it offers a range of magnifications, not just Adobe's 2x 'take it or leave it' approach (and huge DNG output files). It also has special printing features, such as Tiling for large-scale prints or murals, ‘Gallery Wraps’ for adding reflected or stretched ‘wings to the edges of a photo without losing any image area, the ability to ‘fill’ different print sizes and even ‘soft-proofing’ with different printer presets to judge the amount of sharpening to apply (another feature in the software). You can use it to resize individual images or batch processing a whole series. ON1 Resize AI 2022 can be used as a standalone tool, or as a plugin or external editor for your regular software. ON1 is also suggesting Resize AI 2022 could be used to make high quality still images or prints from video frame captures. We’ve got lots of photos shot on 6MP Nikon D50s or 8MP Canon DSLRs from years back, and we’re sure lots of other photographers have too. It’s also designed to breath new life back into photos taken on older, lower resolution cameras.
