ON 1 Photo Raw 2018 Image Example
Hello LCC members,
ON1 Photo Raw is a very easy to use powerful set of post processing tools with versatility that continues to improve with each new release.
Don’t place limits upon your photography, never think it’s too bright too dark or too anything else. Take the chance and experiment!
For this image I used the Sony a6500 in Aperture Priority and the metering mode set to meter for Highlights. If I was using my Canon camera I would have used Spot or partial metering.
The first image is the meta data.
The Second is the Raw Straight Outta Camera.
The Third is the Final Processed Image.
The post processing was done with ON1 Photo Raw 2018
I have included images of the settings in the Develop Module and the LUTs used in the Effects Module.
Here are the Settings used in ON1 Develop Module
Here are the Settings used in ON1 Effects Module
What are LUTs?
A LUT is a file that transforms one range of colors in an image to another range of colors. Traditionally they have been used in the film industry to give films a unique look and feel. Terms like Blockbuster look or 3 Stripe look are often used to describe them. More recently though, LUTs are being used in photography.
Here’s a link for more about LUTs

Last Saturdays Printer Class
Hello LCC members,
The print workshop last Saturday was awesome!
Thank you! Paul Rampolla and Don Hamilton for organizing the event with Bedford Camera, Canon and Hahnemuhle Fine art photo papers.
The class was very well done and packed with information on how to get the best results when printing images.
The Hahnemuhle paper presentation was fantastic! We all learned that choosing the right paper type that suits your image is an important part of printing.
Each class participant was able to have 2-images printed with the Canon PRO-1000 or Pro-10 on Hahnemuhle paper.
For those who were not there there are some special offers on the Cannon PRO-1000 and PRO-10 printers that cannot be beat. The Pro-1000 prints media up to 17″ wide and the PRO-10 prints up to 13×19 these special deals are available through Bedford Camera.
As well Steve Elkins VP of Bedford Camera also gave the club a discount code which is good for 5% off cameras and accessories.

This was a great event and the club looks forward to doing more events like this in the future.
