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 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?
