ON1 Photo RAW vs RNI Films

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.

RNI Films is an analogue-film photo app that simulates the look and colours of real film emulsions. It organizes filters by film type and provides an instant before-and-after preview in a minimal-tap editing workflow. Its Film Grain tool applies what the maker describes as genuine film grain rather than digital noise, and the maker characterizes its rendering and output as desktop quality. Photos can be shared to social networks from the app. RNI Films is offered for iOS, macOS, and Windows; the maker says an Android app is not viable at present. Android users can instead sync RNI Lightroom presets to Lightroom Mobile with an Adobe Creative Cloud subscription. A free plan is listed. Paid presets and styles support Adobe Lightroom, Photoshop ACR, and Capture One, with listed monthly plans from 82.00 USD to 192.00 USD. The maker is Really Nice Images LTD, which describes itself as a London-based art and technology company.
