Key Features in Version 2024.5 - Now Available!
The latest 2024 free update brings major enhancements, including a new and improved Super Select AI tool that now identifies and selects any object, simplifying adjustments to areas like clothing, hair, and skin with just a click. The upgraded Quick Mask AI tool also offers easy point-and-click editing for masks. Performance has been significantly optimized, with faster opening of raw and .ONPhoto files and smoother zooming, panning, and brushing. A smaller installer and more frequent updates ensure quick downloads and automatic updates. Additionally, support for new cameras and lenses has been added, keeping the software up-to-date with the latest technology.
See it in ActionImproved Super Select AI
Our innovative point, click, and edit tool just got better. The enhanced Super Select AI tool can now identify and select any object, not just those it recognizes. This makes adjustments to areas like clothing, hair, skin, and individual flowers much faster. Simply click on an object or region, select an adjustment, and you’re done. No more creating layers and adding filters and masks.
Improved Quick Mask AI Tool
Similar to the Super Select AI tool, the upgraded Quick Mask AI tool offers point-and-click editing for masks, simplifying the blending of layers and filters.
Added Camera and Lens Support
As with all updates, support for new raw formats and profiles for the latest cameras and lenses.
Optimized Performance
This update brings the most significant performance boosts yet! Almost everything in Edit feels faster. Opening raw files is now up to twice as fast, making it almost instantaneous. Opening .ONPhoto files (your creations from HDR, Pano, or multiple layers) is over twice as fast. Zooming, panning, and brushing are now buttery smooth, even on complex photos with many layers and filters. These improvements result from innovative methods we’ve developed to utilize the GPU and reduce memory usage.
Smaller Installer and More Frequent Updates
This release also includes a re-engineered app and update delivery method. The product installer is now much smaller, making it faster to download and install. Upon launching the app, it automatically checks for updates and downloads any missing or updated components. This allows us to update camera support, AI models, and extra content more frequently, making updates much smaller.
