Have a go at all of them to see how they work. You can add as many layers as you want to make lots of changes to different parts of your image.Įxperiment with this. Undo the lighten or darken, go to the adjustments in that window and make the changes you really want. Once you have the area you want to adjust selected, you can change the settings however you want. In Local Adjustments, you can make the selection of the part of the image you want to work on. It will help you understand what is available and if you watch the many ON1 videos you will understand what they are saying and how easy it is to learn.

When I tried to use the indexing function to speed things up, PL4 gobbled up practically all my RAM and then apparently resorted to swapping data to and from the hard drive until the total memory usage indicated by my activity monitor reached several hundred GB and the whole system became totally sluggish. Might have to do with the fact that LR6 creates catalogs with thumbnails and the two others don’t.

Yet, my old Lightroom 6 - in spite of its age and various deficiencies - still runs circles around both on the same machine. Worse still than ON1 2021 which by itself is quite bad enough. I have to admit I was shocked about the speed.
