The Best Lightroom Alternative? How ON1 Compares to Lightroom and Photoshop

- Adobe's Lightroom and Photoshop programs have long been the standard in the photography industry, and for good reason. However, many users complain about Adobe's limited pricing structure, which has allowed a few other companies to get a stake in the photo editing space. One of those Lightroom alternatives is ON1 Photo RAW, made by ON1.
ON1 allows users to buy the software outright and avoid paying a monthly fee. However, is the software good enough to replace Lightroom and Photoshop? In today's video, I compare ON1 Photo RAW to Adobe Lightroom and Photoshop and discuss whether they're viable alternatives for your photo editing needs.

Great comparison! I've been using CS4 and Lightroom 5 since I don't want to pay the subscription prices, but since they are so old I've been considering alternatives. This really helps.
Glad it was helpful! I honestly think ON1 may be a good choice for you.
the ai tools are an absolute game changer
Thanks Austin, I have been using On1 for a while and presently trying out LRc. The one feature that I really like in LRc is the masks, add, delete and intersect options are missing in On1. If this was added, i would stay with On1
What are your thoughts on this, BTW, i mainly photo wildlife, no landscape
ON1 has some great masking tools too, and I don’t think I prefer one over the other when it comes to masking.
I've been using ON1 for many years and recently started using PS and LRC. The ON1 no noise is quicker than LRC Denoise. But the masks in LRC are really superb. You can easily add and subtract from a mask. The remove tool in PS is superior to ON1 and is even better than LRC. And of course removal using Generative fill in PS makes the combination of PS and LRC a few degrees better than ON1. The filing systems, export and saving files in ON1 is much better than PS/LRC, which I find to be very confusing after using ON1 for years. Usually, ON1 catches up to PS/LRC with about a year lag. So if they catch up and there are no major improvements to PS/LRC, I'd stick with ON1. But for now, the masking and gererative fill is so strong, that I'm going to continue to use this combination for now.
ON1 raw 2024 is fast, easy to use and performant! No regrets from my side!
Awesome!
Thanks you very much
You are welcome!
Adobe's monthly fee is nuts for such a mature product. i would be perfectly happy with 5 year old photoshop and lightroom... even older. if i own software, i like that the incentive is on the developers to do something that makes me WANT to upgrade. go ahead and earn my money, no problem. but getting paid every month whether you do anything for me or not? must be nice.
That’s the luxury they have by being such a large company with the most popular product!
My only gripe is that on 1 Raw mobile is behind lightroom when it comes down to mobile or tablet work. I'm only starting to get into tablet editing now, and I can def see how it needs improvements
I’ve heard that before. I personally haven’t tried it but I’ll have to give it a shot.
I consider myself relatively competent with ON1 and have used it as my standard processor for 6 years now. The only features that I find myself missing when I watch editing tutorials are content aware filling and some of the masking plug-ins available in Photoshop.
Yeah, it’s certainly a very well-rounded program.
Take a look to photomator and camerabag pro ty for the video
Will do!
Im torn between using On1 or luminair Neo. Not sure which is abit better than the other. Plus i haven't seen much videos on TH-cam from creators that do tutorials
I personally think ON1 is far superior to Luminar Neo. Much more complete editor. Luminar is great for AI features and more gimmicky edits, in my opinion.
@@AustinJamesJackson okay I'll go with On1 then.
👌
for batch photos stick to ON1 Raw Luminar is more of a glorified photoshop for people who prefer presets
Yup - I miss the warping tool! The keystone tool can do it a bit - but not much control over it.
Agreed!
