Exhibitions and Software

Today we are looking at an exhibition I have work in and the latest release of ON1 photo editing software. Today is more a catch-up.

Group Show at Red Gallery

Next, I’m having my exhibition at Red Gallery, but for Christmas, they are doing a group show of past, present and future exhibitors so I was invited to participate. I put three images in, three photos that I had printed and framed last year. It is nice to see them being put somewhere.

The opening is on Wednesday night between 6 and 8pm. I’m going so if you are in the area please come and have a drink, oh and say hello.

The featured image is one of the images in the exhibition.

ON1 Photo RAW 2020

The latest release is now available. It has been a while since I spoke about ON1, but I was given the opportunity to try out the software before the official release and I was really happy with how it performed. It is great for people who are looking for an alternative to the subscription based software from Adobe.

I have an affiliation link for you if you would like to try it out, ON1 Photo RAW 2020.

I’m going to copy and paste part of the press release for you.

Photography Your Way, The ON1 Difference.

ON1 gives you control of your photography and what matters to you – it’s Photography Your Way. ON1 is an open system giving you control over photo organization, storage, editing, creative style, and how you purchase. While most mainstream software solutions restrict your organization and editing in closed systems, ON1 gives you an open system for complete control over your storage, organization, editing, and method of purchase. ON1 will also never be a subscription-only model.

“Customers will immediately notice the speed and quality improvements we’ve made under-the-hood. A lot of great feedback came in from our beta users, and we were able to deliver on their requests in this version,” says Craig Keudell, President and CEO.
