ON1 Professional Plugins offer a highly integrated experience compared to other photography plugins by allowing photographers to work with multiple photos and enhanced batch editing capabilities.

“We are very excited to bring the ON1 Professional Plugins to the Capture One workflow. There are many diverse workflows and photographers are always looking for ways to make them faster, add more capabilities, or produce better results. This is what ON1 plugins are designed to do at an integration level other editing plugins don’t offer,” says Craig Keudell, President of ON1.
The most popular creative plugin is ON1 Effects 2021. This plugin powerhouse features over 30 adjustable filters that can be stacked and blended to create your unique looks. It comes with the best collection of built-in photo effects, filters, LUTs, and presets, all curated by professional photographers. ON1 Effects allows photographers to instantly style any photo and create any look in just a few clicks. The precision masking tools included in ON1 Effects also let you go beyond what’s available in Capture One. AI Masking, Local Adjustments, and stackable filters make ON1 Effects a tool every photographer wants in their virtual darkroom.
ON1 Effects goes beyond the basic edits you can accomplish in Capture One with a range of new creative options, including Borders, Glows, Blurs, Dynamic Contrast, Glows, Textures, Sunshine, LensFlares, and Weather effects. It’s also the perfect solution for recreating realistic film and darkroom techniques.
The new ON1 Portrait AI 2021 uses machine learning to find every face in your photo and make them look great automatically. It analyzes each face and adds just the right amount of retouching to the skin, eyes, and mouth, giving you professional results in no time. Batch processing portraits is one of the key benefits of using Portrait AI as a plugin for Capture One. You can easily retouch an entire shoot automatically. It’s the perfect solution for client proofing and fast turnaround. ON1 Portrait AI also comes fully equipped with controls and tools for fine-tuning images, smoothing skin, reducing shine, whitening eyes and teeth, along with much more.
Next in the lineup of ON1 Professional Plugins is the popular ON1 Resize 2021. This best-selling photo enlargement tool features ON1’s industry-leading Genuine Fractals® technology. Resize 2021 is a must-have for the highest-quality enlargements and prints. Crop, resize and sharpen your photos all-at-once while maintaining an extraordinary amount of detail. It can even add wings for printing on canvas or tile your image for mosaics.
Rounding out the ON1 Professional Plugins is the ultra-fast ON1 HDR 2021. ON1 HDR creates flawless, natural HDR photos that combine the highlight and shadow details from a bracket of exposures. Customers can also easily control the movement, such as clouds and running water, with a live preview. It includes the tools needed to creatively optimize your HDR photos as well. These include powerful stackable filters for enhancing the HDR look. The flexible masking tools allow photographers to combine multiple versions of the same photo together or for replacing skies, and the retouching tools for removing distractions.

On1 Vs Capture One
Recently ON1 has released four new plugins for Capture One:
ON1 plugins are standalone apps that offer features beyond Capture One capabilities: apply LUTs, blur images, add textures, auto-retouch portraits, merge HDR, and more.
All the new plugins are implemented into a Capture One workflow for round-trip editing. Thus, you can quickly send an image from Capture One into an ON1 plugin, apply adjustments, and auto-import the processed image back into Capture One. Plus, ON1 plugins support batch editing.
I’m planning to review all the new ON1 plugins, and the first I’ve already tested is ON1 Effects 2021.
Basically, ON1 Effects 2021 is a full-featured photo editor that offers ready solutions to enhance your images. You can quickly apply different color grading filters, add visual effects, stylize images, adjust image tone, and more.
Since Capture One offers plenty of color and tone correction tools, I’ve been looking for features that Capture One lacks. So, the first thing I have tried in ON1 Effects is batch editing with LUTs.
LUT is a universal format of color grading settings that is widespread in video production. Thus, you can easily find pro-quality LUTs and use them in your work. Here is a nice collection of free LUTs that you can add to ON1 Effects.
There is no native support for LUTs in Capture One, and ON1 Effects offers a simple way to implement LUTs in a Capture One workflow.
You make all the regular adjustments in Capture One, and when you want to apply LUT, you just select images and choose Edit With –> ON1 Effects 2021.
You make all the regular adjustments in Capture One, and when you want to apply LUT, you just select images and choose Edit With –> ON1 Effects 2021.
Here are two options for batch editing:
- Pause on First Photo – use it to apply adjustments in ON1 to the first image of the group. All the other photos will automatically return to Capture One with the same adjustments.
- Pause on All Photos – use it to adjust every image individually in ON1 Effects.
On1 Raw Vs Capture One
I love batch editing, so I choose to adjust only the first image from the series manually.
In ON1 Effects, you’ll see a variety of filters, but we’re looking for LUT’s:
In ON1 Effects, you’ll see a variety of filters, but we’re looking for LUT’s:
As you applied LUT, you can adjust Opacity to decrease the LUT impact on your image, set blending mode, and change other settings. Plus, ON1 Effects supports masks, so you can easily apply LUT locally.
When you finish, click Done to apply the same adjustments to all the images from the batch. ON1 Effect will process your images and send them back to Capture One as TIF files, so you can continue editing.
Although, Capture One is designed to work with RAW, so if you need to recover highlights or shadows and correct White Balance, it makes sense to make all the RAW-related adjustments before sending your files to ON1 Effect.
Apart from LUT, the new plugin allows you to add some effects that are missing in Capture One. For instance, you can quickly blur images in ON1 Effect.
There are two types of blur filters in ON1 Effect:
![Capture Capture](/uploads/1/3/7/4/137408096/326267015.jpeg)
Blur
Here you’ll find common effects like motion blur, radial blur, shake and jitter blur. That’s a useful tool when you need to add some movement effect to your image:
Lens blur
Lens blur filters imitate bokeh effects:
Unfortunately, unlike iPhone photos, regular images don’t store 3D mapping data, so you would need to mask bokeh areas manually:
Another popular effect that is not presented in Capture One is adding borders to your image.
In ON1 Effects, you’ll find 65+ variants of borders to apply: from classical designs to film rebate borders and art style borders.
You can also adjust blending modes, opacity, and color for each border:
There are even more textures to choose from:
Textures in ON1 Effects are also fully adjustable, plus you can combine them with any filters there. For example, you can apply LUT, blur the image, and add a texture.
Here are two more useful filters for Capture One users:
This filter adds such weather effects as snow, rain, fog, or blizzard:
You can easily rotate, scale, and modify the impact of each effect.
A simple filter that can nicely enhance some images:
On1 Vs Capture One Pro
Every ON1 plugin has a 14-day free trial so that you can safely try it in your workflow.
On1 Vs Capture One Fuji
With $83.99 price tag (there is a sale now), the ON1 plugin bundle looks like an interesting option to extend Capture One capabilities. If you still use Photoshop to add some final effects after Capture One, ON1 can offer ready solutions for these tasks.
