When you launch ON1 Photo RAW 2017.5 you get the potentially familiar ON1 user interface.

Online validation is pretty standard, and just like the Adobe products, once validated, you do not always need to have a live Internet connection. This performs the license validation and also checks for new information.

You download the software and on first launch you either create or login to your existing ON1 account.

When you look at ON1 Photo RAW 2017.5, it's not a marginal update, it's truly an incremental upgrade with brand new features and functionality. That bit of perceived heresy was the first indicator that there is a market for solutions that work with Adobe products, and a market for solutions that didn't require the presence of Adobe products.

For some users, particularly those uncomfortable with subscriptions, or not needing to get the full depth and breadth of Photoshop, and not requiring or wanting the digital asset management capability of Lightroom, ON1 Photo RAW 2017 was a completely viable and solid answer. When ON1 Photo RAW 2017 was first released, the real big deal was not that it was a powerful set of plugins to Lightroom and Photoshop, which it is, but that it can run completely independently of Lightroom and Photoshop including RAW decoding.

The update is free to existing users and available at a discounted announcement price to new users. The good part is we have one great LR alternative already and another in the making.The good people over at ON1 have released a significant upgrade to ON1 Photo RAW 2017. It appears with the pace they've been improving it will happen.

Even if they do that they need to speed up the rendering of the sliders so you can see changes interactively and immediately like LR and ON1. What that means I have no idea and the devil is in the details. Skylum has said they will be adding DAM to Luminar including ability to use LR catalogs. You can always download the trial and try migrating part of your library as an experiment. And of course I'll still have my raw to go back to also. My philosophy is that if I do that there's not much chance I ever will go back to it and if I do I'll have a high quality TIFF with the edits up to that point and I can go from there. Granted it's possible to have images you started working on and never went back to them. So for me it's not that important if I have images in my library with edits if I never used the photo. Here's the way I look at the edits: If I process an image in LR I can't use it until I export it at which point the edits are baked in. As I understand it they're using LR to do the conversions anyway so it shouldn't be a stretch to have the compression option. I will talk to ON1 about offering LZW or ZIP compression in their migration tool. Of course everyone's workflow is different and if you're satisfied with the IQ and speed isn't an issue than you may want to stick with LR. And of course LR's turtle slow performance was a motivator. I've used deconvoution techniques and it just doesn't help with some subjects. My motivation for looking elsewhere from LR was twofold- the first time I saw how LR processed my X-Trans files I immediately began looking at alternatives. I have similar concerns with my 130K+ images cataloged in LR.
