ON1 Photo RAW 2026.4 20.4.0

What's new in this version:

- This is one of the biggest updates in the 2026 lifecycle. 2026.4 introduces Restore AI, a brand-new module built exclusively for ON1 Photo RAW MAX that brings damaged, faded, and forgotten photos back to life. It also delivers a redesigned Home experience to help you get into your work faster, meaningful Browse performance improvements, new lens profile support, and a round of bug fixes and stability improvements.
- Restore AI — Restore AI is a brand-new module, exclusively inside of Photo RAW MAX. Restore AI repairs damaged photos automatically. Fix tears, dust, wrinkles, fading, grain, blur, and color shifts to bring old family memories back to life.
- Automatic Photo Restoration — Remove dust, scratches, wrinkles, tears, and other physical damage.
- AI Refocus & Detail Recovery — Improve clarity and rebuild lost detail in soft or poorly digitized photos.
- AI Colorization — Transform black-and-white photos into realistic color images, with full user control.
- Fade & Color Shift Correction — Restore natural color and tone to photos affected by aging or poor processing.
- Improve Results with Text-Prompt — Guide restoration with text prompts. This can improve colorization results, fix or add text, blur backgrounds, adjust ages, and much more.
- Face Detection & Detail Enhancement — Detect faces and intelligently restore lost facial detail while maintaining recognition.
- Noise & Grain Control — Reduce objectionable noise or texture while adding natural film grain.
- Advanced Sharpening — Enhance detail and definition for clearer restored images.
- Creative Color Control — Adjust tonal and color correction, warmth, saturation, as well as tint monochrome photos.
- Batch Album Restoration — Process entire albums of scanned photos automatically.
- Cloud-Powered Processing — Perform complex AI restoration tasks beyond what most consumer computers can handle.
- Integrated Photo Management — Convert negatives, organize albums, add descriptions and metadata, and easily export or share your restored photos.
- No Credits or Tokens Required — Restore AI is fully included with ON1 Photo RAW MAX or ON1 Photo Studio.
- Home Module — The Home module introduces a new default start experience for ON1 Photo RAW focused on faster entry, better onboarding, and more discoverable product training.
- New Home screen experience designed to serve as the default starting point for the app.
- Quick shortcuts for Open a Photo, Browse a Folder, and Import from Device.
- Recent Edits area to help users quickly return to work they opened recently.
- Space for What’s New updates, training, and dynamic content.
- Browse Performance Improvements — We have been working hard to improve new folder discovery in Browse. Now when you navigate to a new folder, it should populate thumbnails almost instantly and scrolling should be more responsive as well. We have also tuned the number of thumbnails that can be displayed so you can see more on one screen. While we were at it, we cleaned up the context menu so it isn’t too long.
- Deep Stack Performance Improvements — It’s snappier when working with lots of local adjustments. Moving sliders and painting is faster and uses less memory.
