ON1 Photo RAW 2026: five flower editing tips

This tutorial covers five flower photo edits in ON1 Photo RAW 2026. The presenter starts with cropping to reduce surrounding distractions, using the C keyboard shortcut and keeping the example at its original 2:3 aspect ratio. Swapping the width and height changes the crop orientation.

The next example uses the Develop controls to increase contrast, lift midtones, warm the temperature, and raise vibrance. The presenter uses the backslash key to compare the result before moving into effects or local adjustments.

For a softer appearance, the lesson demonstrates the Glow filter with the Darker preset. The presenter shows other glow styles and recommends reducing opacity when the effect feels too strong, describing the edits as non-destructive.

Dynamic Contrast handles texture and detail. The Surreal preset makes the effect easy to see, though the presenter notes that opacity can reduce its intensity. Super Select AI lets the presenter select the flower region and apply Dynamic Contrast there while leaving the background untreated.

The final example uses Lens Blur to soften an in-focus area beside the flower. The presenter increases the blur amount, then removes the effect from the subject. This reduces the distraction without removing the background element itself. The lesson closes with a reference to Mark Overmars' free flower photography ebook.
