Since On1 requested an e-mail to DL their software (that I removed) I have received 4 e-mail within a day promoting other products and a seminar.

I just created an e-mail filter to kill all from them, as there is no way to unsubscribe from their spam.

Considering that I have PS CC since its inception as a subscription and have not received one e-mail from Adobe there is no question that On1 'offer' is a marketing ploy and nothing else. I still have not figured out what On1 was trying to do with my firewall.

Of course its a marketing 'ploy'. Or of course it could also be just very good marketing, full stop.
There are no so called free lunches and everything has a price. So it comes down to what price you are prepared to pay. For me, a few extra emails in my inbox each week is a pretty small price, and so far, most have been of interest.
As to no way to unsubscribe, I haven't tried to, but their emails to my inbox do have this at the bottom:
ON1
Sent to: photogentony@gmail.com
Sent by: ON1 - PO Box 7626 - Salem, OR 97303
Unsubscribe from ON1 emails

Looks pretty legit to me.
Wonder why yours are missing the 'unsubscribe'?

Ive been looking at tutorials for ON1 on YouTube. Scott Kelby seems to be an enthusiastic ambassador for ON1. Interesting as he's also a big fan of Adobe products. Kelby is pretty astute and his reputation in the photography world is pretty solid, I wonder why he would associate himself with the Company (ON1) if this was a scam.

I think this offer is a brilliant move with AI now becoming so convenient, and like it or not, is about to become a big player in photo processing software. Probably led by Adobe.
The version of ON1 now available at no cost is a teaser for what is to come from their stable of products so they are giving the market a chance to try this version, get hooked, and hopefully buy the latest update when it hits the market. Thus perhaps preempting Adobes subscription based model that doesn't suit everyone. Especially people like myself who is only a keen amateur retiree with a limited income.

I like to think I'm pretty careful with what I download to my computer so I did take your warning seriously. Ive done 2 auto Registry scans, one manual look at the Registry and a Belarc Advisor report. Found nothing of concern.

Is it too good to be true? Maybe. I'll wait and watch for the other shoe to drop, but in the meantime I'll take the offer in good faith and either just delete any emails from them that aren't of interest, or take the advice that is on offer in my attempt to increase my own knowledge base.

Some of the comments make me want to dive in and try them on some old photos. Haven't got time today.

So, was there REAL free software or not ? I hope so, as now that I have purchased ON1 Photo Raw 2024 I hope more folks get a chance to try some of the ON1 products...

DWU2 Loc: Phoenix Arizona area

Yes, On1 Effects 2023 is available free through the end of this month.

Worth reading the emails you will get Jerry and getting some of the free presets they seem to be adding progressively (to keep us, me anyway, interested and 'playing' with the programme).
Ive had a bit of time now experimenting with quite a few old files. Ive only ever used Adobe Elements as my organiser and processing programme, never really understood how to use layers and all that stuff, even tho I do use the Expert mode.
ON1, perhaps with the help of A1, has made more complicated stuff simpler, for me anyway.
One feature that's already become a 'go to' for me, is being able to select small areas of a scene that need treatment, rather than treating the whole photo, so simple when you know how.
(I'm like a kid with a new toy )
I think I'll now be importing files into Elements as before but then do the first edit of my Raw files in ON1, then finish off in Elements if there is anything else to do so they are then safely catalogued in Elements.
Its quite clever how it works so well in tandem with Elements although I find there is a bit of a wait loading between the two programmes. I think its my old Dell Precision laptop that's causing the delay.

I think even the naysayers and purists are going to eventually embrace AI. Just wait until cameras have AI and you can tell the camera it is actually a beautiful sunset rather than a cloudy noon day sky.
Phones already have 'fun' stuff presets provided by AI so why not cameras?

Tony, Where do you go to select small areas...?
