My Photo RAW Max 2026 ON1 Workflow
14 lessons with Scott Kelby |
|
Scott's complete start-to-finish editing recipe in ON1 Photo RAW Max 2026 — the exact workflow he uses on his own images, from noise reduction all the way to final sharpening. Across 14 lessons you'll watch him build an edit step by step, add creative touches like sun flares, and land consistent, finished results on every image. And because the same tools work as plugins with Lightroom and Photoshop, everything you learn folds straight into the workflow you already have.

Quick Tips |
| |
Quick Tip · Photoshop
Apply Dehaze to Just Part of Your Photo
New in Photoshop 2026: Clarity, Dehaze, and Grain are now adjustment layers — no Camera Raw roundtrip. Go to Layer > New Adjustment Layer > Dehaze, then paint the layer mask to limit the effect — cut background haze while leaving your subject untouched. All three are maskable and non-destructive. |
|

Quick Tip · Lightroom
Let AI Reject the Blinks and Misfires Before You Cull
In Lightroom Classic: Turn on the feature via Catalog Settings > Metadata > Assisted Culling. In the Library module, select a folder or collection and open the Assisted Culling panel. Under Select, enable Subject Focus; under Reject, check Exposure issues and Misfires. Lightroom flags Selects and Rejects automatically — and the April 2026 update improved focus scoring on shallow depth-of-field shots. Review the Rejects once, then delete. |

Shooting Tip · Camera
Focus on the Nearest Eye
Use single-point autofocus and place it directly on your subject's nearest eye. A tack-sharp eye makes the entire portrait feel professional — and forgives almost anything else in the frame. |
|
| |
Shooting Tip · iPhone
Tap, Then Slide Down
Tap your subject to set focus, then slide your finger down to darken the exposure slightly. iPhones overexpose by default — pulling it back protects your highlights and instantly gives photos a richer, more professional look. |
