Portland, OR — December 16, 2024— ON1, a leader in developing photo editing software applications, is excited to announce Lightpanel under their new ON1 Pro brand. The new ON1 Pro brand will deliver products and solutions that address challenges in professional photography workflows.

With over two decades of expertise and dedication to innovation in the photo editing space, ON1 Pro is poised to enhance professional photography workflows by delivering cutting-edge AI technologies, streamlined workflows, and features designed to meet the demands of professionals.

The first product under this brand, Lightpanel, will use AI-driven features that allow professional photographers to cull, review, and edit thousands of photos directly inside Lightroom Classic in a fraction of the time. Because of ON1’s twenty years of building plugins for Adobe, they can deliver an integrated experience like no other app. Lightroom Classic and Lightpanel promise to be a game-changing combination for portrait photographers, wedding photographers, and others working with high volumes of photos.

World-renowned Adobe educator Scott Kelby has also given high praise for Lightpanel: “ON1 has a major hit on their hands. I think the real magic is how they integrated Lightpanel into the portrait and wedding photographer’s existing Lightroom workflow. Instead of making everyone re-learn an entirely new workflow with another product, they are supercharging the workflow we already have and cutting our workload in half.”

Key Features of Lightpanel

  • AI-Powered Culling Tool—Automatically groups similar photos, identifies the sharpest images, flags blurry photos or those with closed eyes, and enables quick zoomed-in face comparisons—perfect for large batches of photos.
  • AI Software for Photo Editing—Makes intelligent tone and color adjustments tailored to the context of each photo. Photographers have easy control to tune the results to their personal taste. It can also perform portrait retouching, darken backgrounds, and make the subject pop by automating complex tasks in Lightroom. It can learn your stylization look and adapt it for each photo. You can even download a range of looks from other top photographers.
  • Job and Order Tracking (Coming Soon after initial release)—Tracks clients and jobs, as well as creating and fulfilling orders directly alongside Lightroom photos, streamlining both creative and business tasks.

“Lightpanel will be used directly inside Lightroom Classic, cutting the most time-consuming tasks—culling and editing—in half without requiring photographers to use multiple apps,” said Dan Harlacher, VP of Product at ON1. “By cutting the time it takes to complete these tasks in half, Lightpanel pays for itself after one event, giving photographers more time to capture photos, market their business, or spend with family instead of editing late into the night.”

Pricing and Availability

ON1 Lightpanel is available for preorder at $199.99/year, a special discount on the first-year subscription price (normally $299.99/year).
