ON1 Photo RAW vs Retouch4me

ON1 Photo RAW is paid desktop software for photographers who want RAW processing, editing, organization and export in one application. It supports batch editing, layers, masking, AI retouching and cloud sync, and browses files where they are stored while providing tags, albums, stacking and AI keywording. Built-in AI tools include NoNoise AI, Resize AI, Generative Erase, Sky Swap AI, Restore AI and Brilliance AI. Super Select AI, subject and background masks and AI depth masks target specific areas. Optional connections are listed for Photoshop CC, Photoshop Elements, Lightroom Classic, Apple Photos and Affinity Photo; MAX adds Adobe Photoshop and Lightroom plugins. Restore AI uses cloud processing, and ON1 says submitted photos are not used to train models. The standard edition installs on two computers, MAX on three, and subscriptions on up to five, depending on plan. A 30-day trial is available, with no free plan.

Retouch4me offers AI-powered tools and plugins for photo and video retouching, with features for RAW photos, layers, masking, batch editing, and cloud sync.

Video OFX plugins work with compatible editors such as DaVinci Resolve and VEGAS Pro, while Color Match is also available for Adobe Premiere and Final Cut. Perpetual plugin licenses allow unlimited file processing offline. Cloud users can get 20 free photo retouches without a credit card, and the cloud API requires a token from an authorized, verified account.
