Recently ON1 has released four new plugins for Capture One:

ON1 plugins are standalone apps that offer features beyond Capture One capabilities: apply LUTs, blur images, add textures, auto-retouch portraits, merge HDR, and more.

All the new plugins are implemented into a Capture One workflow for round-trip editing. Thus, you can quickly send an image from Capture One into an ON1 plugin, apply adjustments, and auto-import the processed image back into Capture One. Plus, ON1 plugins support batch editing.

I’m planning to review all the new ON1 plugins, and the first I’ve already tested is ON1 Effects 2021.

Basically, ON1 Effects 2021 is a full-featured photo editor that offers ready solutions to enhance your images. You can quickly apply different color grading filters, add visual effects, stylize images, adjust image tone, and more.

Since Capture One offers plenty of color and tone correction tools, I’ve been looking for features that Capture One lacks. So, the first thing I have tried in ON1 Effects is batch editing with LUTs.

LUT is a universal format of color grading settings that is widespread in video production. Thus, you can easily find pro-quality LUTs and use them in your work. Here is a nice collection of free LUTs that you can add to ON1 Effects.

There is no native support for LUTs in Capture One, and ON1 Effects offers a simple way to implement LUTs in a Capture One workflow.
You make all the regular adjustments in Capture One, and when you want to apply LUT, you just select images and choose Edit With –> ON1 Effects 2021.

Here are two options for batch editing:

  • Pause on First Photo – use it to apply adjustments in ON1 to the first image of the group. All the other photos will automatically return to Capture One with the same adjustments.
  • Pause on All Photos – use it to adjust every image individually in ON1 Effects.

I love batch editing, so I choose to adjust only the first image from the series manually.
In ON1 Effects, you’ll see a variety of filters, but we’re looking for LUT’s:

As you applied LUT, you can adjust Opacity to decrease the LUT impact on your image, set blending mode, and change other settings. Plus, ON1 Effects supports masks, so you can easily apply LUT locally.

When you finish, click Done to apply the same adjustments to all the images from the batch. ON1 Effect will process your images and send them back to Capture One as TIF files, so you can continue editing.

Although, Capture One is designed to work with RAW, so if you need to recover highlights or shadows and correct White Balance, it makes sense to make all the RAW-related adjustments before sending your files to ON1 Effect.

Apart from LUT, the new plugin allows you to add some effects that are missing in Capture One. For instance, you can quickly blur images in ON1 Effect.

There are two types of blur filters in ON1 Effect:

Blur

Here you’ll find common effects like motion blur, radial blur, shake and jitter blur. That’s a useful tool when you need to add some movement effect to your image:

Lens blur

Lens blur filters imitate bokeh effects:

Unfortunately, unlike iPhone photos, regular images don’t store 3D mapping data, so you would need to mask bokeh areas manually:

Another popular effect that is not presented in Capture One is adding borders to your image.

In ON1 Effects, you’ll find 65+ variants of borders to apply: from classical designs to film rebate borders and art style borders.

You can also adjust blending modes, opacity, and color for each border:

There are even more textures to choose from:

Textures in ON1 Effects are also fully adjustable, plus you can combine them with any filters there. For example, you can apply LUT, blur the image, and add a texture.

Here are two more useful filters for Capture One users:

This filter adds such weather effects as snow, rain, fog, or blizzard:

You can easily rotate, scale, and modify the impact of each effect.

A simple filter that can nicely enhance some images:

Every ON1 plugin has a 14-day free trial so that you can safely try it in your workflow.

With $83.99 price tag (there is a sale now), the ON1 plugin bundle looks like an interesting option to extend Capture One capabilities. If you still use Photoshop to add some final effects after Capture One, ON1 can offer ready solutions for these tasks.

It was almost a year ago that I took a good solid look at On1’s Perfect Effects 9. The new On1 Effects 10 was released last week and I have had the luxury of taking a look at all of its new features. It may not seem like much has changed, but there have been some significant improvements that I will point out along the way.

On1 effects review

Noteworthy new features from Perfect Effects 9 to 10:

  • Faster image processing (there is a noticeable difference)
  • Moved from the File > Automate section of Photoshop to the Filters section
  • Updated UI
  • Black and White Effects has been turned into a Filter in Effects 10

The Pro’s:

Much of what was good in Perfect Effects 9 remains the same in On1 Effects 10, but here are some more of my thoughts as I worked through Effects 10 over the last few days:

ON1 Effects
  • Increased Workflow Efficiency in Photoshop as Effects 10 can now be found in the Filter section rather than Automate. It may sound like a silly Pro, but I found myself sometimes forgetting where PE 9 was in the past when it was stuck in the Automate section.
  • Black and White Effects is no longer a separate Plugin. BW Effects has been added to On1 Effects 10 as a Filter. This makes it much more valuable in the editing process as all of the other fine filters can be used in unison with easier accessibility.
  • It is no longer called PERFECT. I like that, it is humbling to know that nothing is ever Perfect and On1 realized that and titled the new Plugin simply, Effects 10. They dropped the Perfect. It is hard to always be Perfect anyway 🙂
  • The new User Interface rocks. I found the addition of Filters to be more streamlined and user friendly. It seems to be much easier to navigate and build custom Presets.
  • The overall editing experience seems a bit faster and a bit more responsive. The sliders seemed to work as fast on the image as I was moving. In the past I noticed a bit of lag between adjustments.
  • I prefer the darker interface over the lighter interface in PE9. I did a study a while back on the UI of Photoshop and how it affected your editing decisions. It seems that 90%of the time I like the look of my images when edited on a darker interface. It makes the colors pop more and makes it a bit easier to see the varying degrees of tonal contrast in your images as you edit.

The Con’s:

On1 Effects 2019

  • Masking can be very slow and in-turn inaccurate. At one point I had built up 5 Filters and started masking. It was very slow even with 32 Gigs of Ram and a 2 Gig Video Card supporting it.

On1 Effects 2021

The Bottom Line:

The Pro’s certainly outweigh the Cons with On1 Effects 10. The sticker price of Effects 10 is $59.95, which is not bad for all that Effects can do. On1 Effects 10 is a great addition to your Photo Workbench. It can be used as a sole source editing program like Photoshop or Lightroom, but it can also function as a helpful Plugin to your already efficient workflow. I tend to use it as a Finishing Touch program to take my images one step closer to masterpieces.

For Blake, it is less about the art and more about the process. He dives deep into difficult topics and makes them easy to understand through his outside the box thinking.
