I have the last free one that they offered, I don't use it all the time, but I do use it.
Thanks for the new one

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


This was one of the videos I got sent by ON1 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0F0zZKoxSg0
but basically you select the 'super' tool in the left column and go from there.
The vid explains how to deselect and narrow it down, say, to just one thing you want to work on in the photo.
Then, say, if the edges of the object (hair?) are not defined as well as you would like, you can use a brush to tidy it up.... etc.
There is another video I watched as well, that I found on YouTube, that wasn't promoted by ON1, I think that was easier for me to follow but I didn't save the link. Have a look, you will probably find it under a ON1 search.

Edit: If you havent downloaded ON1 yet, this might be of interest, https://on1help.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/22938148325261-Getting-Started-with-ON1-Effects

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?
Worth reading the emails you will get Jerry and ge... (show quote)


I get the monthly(?) emails about free downloads.

As I was saving the free "Effects," the computer asked if I wanted to replace the one I alread had. I got that a year ago. I wonder if it was free then. I saved the new one over the old one.

Just a bit more on ON1. If you have already got the free offer this is an introduction to what you have downloaded back when the version was offered as an update to paying customers back in May 2023.
I found it quite enlightening, especially the use of Masks which Ive avoided as I really just couldn't get my head around them.
Have a look, it's only 6-7 minutes but I found it worthwhile https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=McWPZGLlB3o
