I'm a long-time Lightroom user. I also have the older On1 suite, which I occasionally use as a plug-in to LR. When On1 Photo RAW came out, I decided that it wasn't yet ready for prime time, but, in time, it was likely to be. That was reinforced when I met Matt Koslowski.

I'd be interested in hearing from LR users who made the change, and are using it as their main editing tool (not as a LR plug-in). In particular -
A. I see that there has been a LR catalog migration tool since Photo RAW 2017.5. Have you used it? How'd it work? Any issues or concerns?
B. How stable has Photo RAW been?
C. Is it speedy on your PC? Better or worse than LR?
D. How challenging was the learning curve?
E. How's the documentation and training?
F. Are there starting to be books on the product, as there are for LR?
G. How's their support?
H. Do all your LR plug-ins work with Photo RAW?
I. What were the main benefits of changing?
J. What were your main disappointments?
K. Are there things you could do in LR that you can't do with On1? Are there things you can do in On1 that you couldn't do in LR?
L. Have you stopped using LR? Why or why not?
M. Are you glad you made the change?

I know this does not answer your question. But I continue to use ON 1 as a plug in to LR and PS. Matt K has a video out discussing the various ways to use ON 1, and I believe he uses it as a plug in as well. I do all my preliminarily work in Lr, then go to ON 1, then Topaz and PS if necessary. After my initial Lr edits, I open the photo in PS and access ON 1 and Topaz from there. Everything works well in this workflow, for me.

At this time, I import into Lightroom, make some adjustments, and then usually plug in to On1. Things are evolving, but it is workable for me now.

Thanks for your replies! So far, two of two use it as a Lightroom plug-in. Anybody on UHH who moved away from LR and use On1 exclusively as your photo editor/photo manager?

On1 can do what Lightroom does in the Library module and adds capabilities that replace much of what I use Photoshop for, which Lightroom does not have. However there are some things I can do so fast and well in LR that I am not as competent at doing in On1. Plus On1 lacks virtual copies as of now, a feature I use a lot in LR. Nor does it permit access to Topaz and NIK plugins. Of course there are some things that can be done only in PS, like Liquefy. So I am not ready to go exclusive on anything yet.

Yes, ON1 does not permit access to Topaz and NIK. So, after I edit in LR, I open up the photo in PS. Then from PS I can send it to Topaz, NIK, or any other plug in. I find that works fairly well.
