Which course to buy.

I was just wondering if the material in Perfect Workflow Photo Kit for On1 Raw 26 is included in the more in-depth course Mastering On1 Photo Raw 2026

Thank you for the clarification

Which Course?

Just wondering if The Perfect Workflow Photo Kit and Mastering On1 Photo Raw 2026 are the same courses?

ON1 Course RAW Files

Just wanted to let you know the RAW files included with the course come up appearing as though your edits have already been applied, even showing the edited icon in the bottom corner of the thumbnail. However, the edits are not actually there when you go to edit. A couple have actually given me an error when I go into the Edit mode. Have to go through and do a "Reset Settings" on each photo to start work on it.

On some of the lessons, I start the lesson using an image that was in mid-edit. For those lessons, I included the Raw in mid-edit so those who are following along, can take up exactly where I begin. The course is large though and I'm sure I missed resetting some images that should have been reset and including reset images on lessons that should have been in mid-edit.

After some more testing I've found the problem is NoNoiseAI, the computer isn't completely locked up it just takes 10+ minutes to open a Raw file that has NoNoise applied; during that time the program is unresponsive. I have the same problem using NoNoise, without a beefy GPU on a laptop you can go and have a cup of coffee while it applies. Now I know it also impacts reopening a file if it's applied I probably won't use it. I've opened a ticket with support to see if there is a way to improve the performance.

Bulk denoise in On1 Photo RAW 2026

Hello,

I have been trying to figure out how to have multiple images go through the Denoise process ("bulk denoise") in On1 Photo RAW 2026. I have watched videos on how to do it in older versions, but I can't seem to get the newest version to perform that function. Any advice? Thank you.

Updating AI Edits

I recently bought a Dell 16 plus computer and have an issue re "updating AI edits. I've done what Adobe support has suggested without success. Every time I make an edit a box pops up:

"Lightroom has encountered an issue updating AI edits. Future edits may not be saved and could be lost. Please contact customer support for troubleshooting."

Any suggestions? Thanks.

Have Adobe dial in and fix it for you. They are usually very helpful.

Thanks.

Today my lightroom Classic would not open and I get the error message " Lightroom Classic could not open Ai Edits storage. Please refer to backup catalog and contact customer support" . I notice quite a few people reporting the same issu in November.

I have reinstalled LrC and this did not help. I have gone to my backup file from 2 days ago and opened it. LrC die open with that file. I then backed up my catalogue as I closed the LrC app. On attempting to relaunch fro the nornal shortcut I was presented with the original issue.

Is this a LrC issue or have I screwed sommeting up? any help would be appreciated.

Problem Solved..... After trying many potential solutions that did not work, last night I tried restoring from a backup file that was 2 days older than the one I used when the problem first arose. This resolved the problem and LrC is now opening properly.

I dont know why this backup worked and the original one I used didn't. I just so plesed to be back to normal with he app.

LR classic newbie

is it even possible to come across someone such as me?

im an absolute idiot when it comes to LRC so be kind. i have downloaded a ton of photos in my mac studio hard drive LRC and now need to move all of these off onto an external hard drive to maximize efficiency. i just bought AM’s video course on LRC hence im here. will the videocourse teach me this particular step or not? if it doesnt will AM have a one on one service to let me do just this?

omg !! you cant imagine how valuable this info is. whats the workflow to download from card to mac and external hard drive to keep sony creative profiles.. i know you know (fingers crossed)

Well, I shoot in RAW and have my Sony Creative Profiles off. However, if you import the images into LRC, it should bring all the information with the files. I don't know for sure (perhaps AM has more detailed technical knowledge than I about this subject) but my understanding is that the Creative Profile data is incorporated into the JPG or HEIF files. It is also included in the preview JPG files LRC uses to display the images on your computer.

I transfer my photos from my CF Express A cards via a card reader attached to my computer. In my LRC, when I insert a card into the card reader the Import window opens. There are a few things I like to do before importing the photos:

  1. I click the box to eject the card after import. When transfering from CF Express A, the reader can get warm so I like to end the process immediately after transfer.

  2. Make sure the dialog at the top of the screen says "Import" and "Copy". You don't want to "Move" or "Add" the files. Move does that and if there's a problem, the files could be lost. Add will add the files but not move them to your hard drive.

  3. I rename every file automatically as it is imported. Remember that your camera will often reuse filenames. To avoid clashing with other files, I run a Preset that changes the filenames automatically upon import.

  4. I also run a preset that adds my copyright information into the metadata of every photo imported.

  5. I select or create a folder into which the files will be copied.

LRC Import

Here's what my import screen looks like. There isn't enough room to display it all but the SSD drive I use is PhotoArchive3 and the specific folder is down the list a bit.

I hope this helps.

On1 Photo Raw

I have been using On1 Photo Raw for more than 5 years and moved because of the annual subscription in Adobe - although I moved to an annual in ON1 which is much more reasonable. There are also other features such as maintaining control of your images if you later chang.

Recently, I have become very frustrated with ON1 glitches, most recently with ON1 2026 Masking which frequently does not recognize a subject and if you use Super Select AI to create a mask, it does not remove the image when you click the Blue Check Mark at the Top. My understanding is ON1 is addressing these issues.

Also, in my photoclubs most everyone uses Lightroom and I even use Photoshop Element which seems to do a better job of subject collection.

I understand neither are perfect, but would I be happier with Lightroom.

I have invested lot of time in ON1 and have two of your courses, including your newest which is excellent.

Lightroom/Photoshop Compatibility

I was having problems when moving from Lightroom Classic to Photoshop. I went through the suggestions in the "How to Maximize Lightroom_Photoshop Compatibility" video. I found some good help but now, when I open lightroom Classic 15.0, Windows 11, I get a message that says, "Lightroom cannot write to the following directories. Until this problem is resolved, syncing from Lightroom may not function correctly." The following directory is C:\Users. I'm not sure what I changed while working through the How to Maximize Lightroom_Photoshop Compatibility" video. What did I change while making Lightroom and Photoshop more commpatibile that may have caused this. Thanks for suggestions and help.

I'm sorry. I wasn't clear enough about what is happening. I have no problem going from LR to PS. The problem is that when I open Lightroom a message pops up on my screen that says: "Lightroom cannot write to the following directories. Until this problem is resolved, syncing from Lightroom may not function correctly." The following directory it refers to is C:\Users. It must be a sync problem as the pop-up says, but I can't figure out how to fix it so that I no longer get the message.

This also appears on my Mac sometimes. I checked the Adobe forums and it seems fairly common. Just ignore it is the advice I received and followed. So far, I've not encountered an errors because of it. My guess is that there are some protected folders in both Windows and Mac that Lightroom doesn't need but can't access which gives the error.

Photo raw 26

Just started your new Course. Is there anything on how to batch process files in Raw 26 and can you do that?
