It is like using a sharpness level of 40-50 in Lightroom. On Fuji X-Trans files, however, in my opinion, this looks ridiculous. On non-Fuji files, this looks a little weird, but not totally unusable. It kind of reminds me of the way employees in retail stores selling TVs turn the contrast and saturation up to make TVs look good in the showroom.

As far as I can see, there is no option to turn this off or reduce it. Even zoomed out you can see it is over-sharpened. With no normal sharpening applied, RAW files are now strongly sharpened and at 1:1 look weirdly over-sharp in my opinion.

They have changed the way the software decodes raw files that they claim offers sharper results out of the box.

So, I’m not going to write a long in-depth article about it, but I would feel remiss without pointing out one thing about the update that I find kind of crazy. I’m also not going to do what others have done and just reprint the press release As much as I would like to, I can’t write a positive article about it either, as that wouldn’t be true to what I’m seeing. I recently wrote a piece about negativity in Photography, and I don’t want to be a hypocrite and write yet another bad review of the software and trash it. I don’t think the fixes for Fuji files are in place yet, and they’re still working on them.

I was actually impressed by this, as I was pretty harsh about it. I was also contacted by representatives from the company, and to be fair to them, they acknowledged many of the issues raised, and I agreed to provide them with whatever I could to help them improve the software. When I last wrote about it, I got a lot of comments from users which supported my findings, but I also got some hate mail from fans of the software telling me I’m doing it wrong. The new version has loads of new features, and as I’ve covered lots of different RAW software in the past, I should really cover this too. So much so, that I really don’t want to keep being negative about it. I’ve covered this software in the past and I’ve been quite critical about it. On1 have recently released a new version of their photo editing application, On1 raw, bringing the version number to 2018.1.
