ON1 Effects 2025 Released!

 

ON1 Effects 2025 is the latest version of our award-winning photo effects software plugin! Whether you’re a seasoned pro or just starting out, ON1 Effects 2025 is designed to help you achieve stunning, professional results in just a few clicks—without the complexity of apps like Photoshop.

ON1 Effects 2025 offers instant styling, powerful AI tools, and seamless workflow integration—all in an intuitive package. With hundreds of built-in presets, over 30 stackable filters, and new generative AI-powered tools, Effects 2025 makes it effortless to transform your photos in just a few clicks. Whether applying cinematic color grading, dramatic B&W, or unique textures and borders, ON1 Effects puts complete creative control at your fingertips.

 

What’s New in ON1 Effects 2025?

ON1 Effects 2025 introduces powerful new AI-driven tools to enhance your editing workflow. The new Depth Mask feature generates masks based on the depth of a scene, allowing photographers to apply lighting and tonal shifts to photos and add a natural finishing touch. 

The new Edit Color Filter gives you accurate control over hue, saturation, and brightness, letting you easily modify specific color ranges. With the Match Color Filter, you can instantly apply the tone and color grading from one photo to another. 

The new Generative Eraser instantly removes objects, distractions, or blemishes using AI-powered content-aware fill and the Automatic Distraction Removal automatically detects and eliminates sensor dust, power lines, and other unwanted elements, saving valuable retouching time. Finally, Generative Crop allows you to expand your canvas and change aspect ratios without losing essential details, ensuring the perfect composition for every shot.



Why ON1 Effects 2025 Stands Out:
 

• One-click presets & powerful filters: Effortlessly achieve professional styles like Dynamic Contrast, HDR Looks, Film Effects, and Black & White.
  
  
• AI-powered tools for effortless edits: Use Generative Crop, Generative Eraser, and Super Select AI to enhance images instantly.
  
  
• Seamless workflow integration: Works as a standalone app or a plugin for Adobe Lightroom Classic, Photoshop, Capture One, and more.

20 Years of ON!

 

 

20 Years of ON1: Built for Photographers. Driven by You

ON1 is celebrating their 20th anniversary in the photo industry!
In 2005, ON1 was born with a bold but simple idea: photography software should be created for photographers — not just for designers or software professionals.

At the time, founder Craig Keudell saw an opportunity. Tools originally built as Photoshop plug-ins for graphic designers were becoming less essential as designers became more proficient with editing software. But photographers? Many were still new to digital workflows and didn’t want to spend their creative time buried in menus and layers.

“Photographers have always been focused on capturing great moments — not becoming software experts,” Craig explains. “That’s where we saw a chance to help by making tools that worked the way photographers think. We saw a huge opportunity to tailor those tools for this growing photography market.”

That insight became the foundation of ON1.

Starting Small, Thinking Big
In those early days, ON1 (then called onOne Software) launched a suite of powerful tools like Genuine Fractals, PhotoFrame, Intellihance, and pxl SmartScale.

“Getting everything off the ground was hard. There was no cloud, no remote work. We built and maintained our own servers, databases — all of it,” Craig recalls. “We focused on one order at a time. Eventually, that turned into real momentum.”

The company’s first significant break came when Shutterbug Magazine featured Genuine Fractals on its cover. From that moment, things really took off.


But ON1 wasn’t just built on product success. It was built on values — creating a company culture that prioritized employees and customers. As Craig puts it:

“We wanted to build a people-first company — one that prioritized our team and customers, not outside investors,” Craig says. “That mindset of taking care of each other has guided us every step of the way.”

That people-first mindset still defines ON1 today.

 

 

The ON1 Story

A Major Turning Point: The Suite Era
As ON1 grew, so did its ambitions. The company moved from plug-ins into a more unified editing experience, culminating in the launch of the Perfect Photo Suite.

“We gave the entire Suite away to everyone at a Photoshop roadshow,” remembers Dan Harlacher, VP of Product. “It was a $500+ product — and we just gave it away. That was a major moment for us. It put ON1 in front of a massive audience.”

The Suite combined powerful tools like masking, portrait retouching, resizing, and effects — all inside one package. And with each release, ON1 became more than just a collection of plug-ins. It was becoming a full-featured photo editor.
