ON1 released Photo RAW 2019.5 today and has packed in a bunch of new features. I posted all the new features back in April, but to recap just a few:

• Dual Mode – Easily undock the Browse Module from the Edit Module, use a second display, or make sales or client presentations on a projector or TV. The dual mode will allow photographers to customize how they want to work when browsing and editing.

• Edit History – A full edit history will be added when working on photos. Each editing step will be viewable, along with the ability to roll-back and compare adjustments. 

• Settings Applied Info – Photographers will be able to quickly view which modules, tools, and filters are applied to a photo. This non-linear approach will also allow photographers to double-click on a setting and jump straight to it for further adjustments.

• Selective Sync – Enhanced granularity in which settings to apply when syncing your settings (or pasting and saving a preset) will be added. For example, photographers will be able to drill down and only apply a white balance adjustment. The ability to sync cropping, retouching and brush strokes between photos will also be included. 

• Hierarchical Keywords – The master keyword list will now support nesting keywords inside of other keywords. Nested keywords will allow photographers to organize keywords as they see fit. Importing a list of nested keywords from other apps like Adobe Lightroom® will also be supported.

Among my favorites are Dual Mode and the improvements in Sync Settings. Here are a couple of videos to show you how these new features work.
