ON1 Photo RAW overview
ON1 Photo RAW (was ON1 Photo) is the lightning fast raw processor, photo editor, and plug-in collection all in one app photographers have been asking for. Unlike the current class of raw-based photo editors requiring catalogs, bouncing between apps for editing, and a subscription ecosystem, ON1 Photo RAW features a new, modern raw processing engine, tuned for today's sensors and graphics chips. Combined with our current set of tools, the next generation of ON1 Photo 10, will continue to work where you want, as a standalone app, a plug-in for Adobe Photoshop and Lightroom, or a host app for other editing apps.
Photo RAW is a must have plug-in for Lightroom and Photoshop. At the heart lies Develop and Effects which include everything you could possibly need for creating any look you want. The hundreds of filters and presets are stackable, allowing for endless creativity. You don't need 10 different plug-ins when you can do it all with one. It's one of the best collections of filters for stacking and creating your own signature looks along with the perfect tools for selectively applying effects, local adjustments, adjustable gradients, adjustment brushes, masking, and retouching.

Version: 15.5.1
I bought ON1 2020 in April 2021, and I would have to par for an upgrade after 6 months!!!

Version: 14.1.1
Tried once more today (as I already did two years ago) migrating my Lightroom catalogue to ON1 and once more it miserably failed
Let's wait and see in a couple more years :p

I purchase the app as a replacement for Lightroom Classic. It does mostly everything I currently do in Lightroom and there is very little I'd miss.
The app is responsive and offers a number of advanced features, so it would have been a home run for someone like me who desperately wanted to switch away from the subscription model Adobe enforces nowadays, BUT the migration process from Lightroom to ON1 Photo RAW is still buggy. It's been months that I reported the problem(s) and there is no solution in sight. They released a new version that was supposed to correct everything since I originally purchased the app, then point-releases, and still I can't migrate my libraries.
I understand that bug happen, but when they do, you need to better communicate.
The one thing I REALLY don't appreciate is that If you want to have access to their beta releases you have to purchase a premium subscription. Having to pay to have the privilege of using a beta, buggy and unpolished version of the app and report to them the various glitches and problems of their builds doesn't sound right to me.
It's been over 6 months that I've purchased the app and still I can't use it because I can't properly migrate my pictures (which is the one big thing they advertise for their app).
So for the app itself, if you don't have to migrate your libraries, I'd give it a good 4-4.5 stars, but because I essentially can't use it because of all these issues, I'll lower it to maybe two :-(

Given how long ON1 has been making Photoshop plugins, I expect this will be an excellent app. The feature list is comprehensive. The price is competitive, depending on how much they will charge for updates. Still, Affinity Photo is less expensive. I haven't seen a feature comparison, however, so I don't know what the difference in price means in terms of capabilities. If ON1 really wants to sell this, they should show how it stacks up against Lightroom, Photoshop and Affinity Photo. Then again, we may have to wait for a third party to do the job honestly.
Still, they offer a free trial so hopefully some people with the time and interest to test this will let us know what they think. Sadly, I no longer have that kind of energy.
