Founded in 2005 in Portland, Oregon, ON1 (formerly onOne Software) began by acquiring popular Photoshop plugins like Genuine Fractals and PhotoFrame. Over time, it transformed from a plugin developer into a full-featured editing platform, culminating in the launch of ON1 Photo RAW. The company has consistently led the way in creating software built specifically for photographers.
'We started ON1 to build tools that worked the way photographers think-not the way software forces them to think,' said Craig Keudell, ON1 founder and CEO. 'That same mission still guides us 20 years later.'
Celebrating 20 Years with a Massive Sale
To thank its community and celebrate this milestone, ON1 is offering up to 75% off its apps and plugins throughout June. Whether users are looking to start with ON1 Photo RAW 2025, expand their editing workflow with ON1 plugins, there's never been a better time to enhance your photo editing workflow with ON1.
Software Built with Photographers, Not Just for Them
At the core of ON1's success is its commitment to listening. Through the ON1 Photo RAW Project, launched in 2016, the company has implemented nearly 1,000 user-submitted ideas, transforming feedback into actual features.
'Our users are part of the development process,' said Dan Harlacher, VP of Product. 'That's why our tools feel intuitive-because they're shaped by people who shoot and edit every day.'
ON1's suite includes advanced AI tools, such as Super Select AI, NoNoise AI, and Resize AI, along with workflow-enhancing features like layers, presets, masking, and mobile-to-desktop syncing.
A Passionate Team That Puts Users First
From support to product design, ON1's culture is rooted in connection. Longtime team members, such as Jonny Davenport, a photographer and support lead, note that direct conversations with users often shape updates and improvements.
ON1's lead educator, Dylan Kotecki, has helped thousands of photographers maximize the potential of ON1's tools.
'Teaching users how to unlock their creativity and simplify their workflow-it's incredibly rewarding,' said Kotecki.
The Road Ahead
As ON1 looks to the future, its focus remains on solving real-world problems for photographers. With innovations in AI, streamlined editing workflows, and deeper mobile integration, the next 20 years are already in motion.
'Twenty years in software is rare-twenty years with this kind of loyalty is even rarer,' said Patrick Smith, Senior VP and GM. 'It's a privilege to keep building for the community that got us here.'

Is There Life After AI for Big Software?
It's not quite code-blooded murder, but shares of software companies have been beaten to a bloody pulp. Companies in the sector on both sides of the Atlantic were greeted with steep selloffs to begin the week, with one analyst's downgrade of Adobe — offered with the assessment that 'AI is eating software' — escalating jitters about the potential for artificial intelligence to do to Photoshop what Photoshop's digital tools did to the gouache paint, kneaded erasers, charcoal sticks, and airbrushes once commonly used to make photo alterations. READ ALSO: Can OpenAI Recover From Botched GPT-5 Rollout? and Amazon Cuts in Line at Online Grocery Checkout Rise of the Machine Helpers The domino effect kicked off Monday, after Melius Research analyst Ben Reitzes downgraded Adobe shares to sell from hold, slashing his target price from $400 to $310 in the process. The company's shares currently trade at $338. Reitzes wrote that software companies are at significant risk of losing out as AI becomes increasingly able to perform tasks automatically that humans currently use the firms' products to do. Real-world examples, he said, include 'the rise of [AI interface design firm] Figma, [AI graphic design firm] Canva, and [AI multimedia design firm] Runway and others who are taking market share as they become better capitalized.' He's not the first to note that AI agents could make traditional software interfaces obsolete. Researchers at Alix Partners earlier this year described what software companies are undergoing as a 'big squeeze,' noting they are faced with 'nimble, AI-native entrants that can replicate applications at a fraction of the cost' on one side and 'tech behemoths … pouring billions into the AI arms race' on the other. This week, investors' underlying jitters about the whole sector rose to the surface: On Monday, Adobe slipped 0.25%, Salesforce, 2.6%; Intuit, 5.5%; and Workday by 3.5%. Tuesday was Europe's turn, as Germany's SAP and Nemetschek fell 4% and 11%, respectively, France's Dassault Systèmes, 2.4%; and the UK's Sage by 4.7%. Despite these fears, Adobe beat earnings expectations in its latest quarter, raised its annual outlook, and has invested in building its own AI platform and offerings. It just hasn't been enough for investors. Notably, Adobe's remaining performance obligation (RPO), a key growth metric that tracks expected future revenue based on contracts, was flat at $19.7 billion in Q2, below expectations. Overall, Adobe shares have tumbled 23.9% this year, trailing both the broader S&P 500's 9.6% gain and the industry-specific iShares Expanded Tech-Software Sector ETF's advance of 8.3%. Mind you, it's not all analyst doom and gloom: Goldman Sachs estimates the integration of Adobe's generative AI-backed and brightly named Firefly app could add over $4 billion to the company's addressable market, and sees a bullish 70% upside for Adobe shares in the next year. Where it Hurts the Most: Under the greatest pressure are mid-sized software companies with fewer resources than Adobe's $21 billion in annual revenue. Alix Partners analyzed 122 publicly listed enterprise software companies with under $10 billion in revenue and found the number of high-growth companies fell to 39% in 2024 from 57% in 2023. They forecast only 27% will remain that way in 2025. 'We believe many mid-size enterprise software companies will face threats to their survival over the next 24 months,' the firm wrote in an April report. This post first appeared on The Daily Upside.

Junior AI: How a 24-Hour Coding Dare Turned Into a Game-Changing Shopify Photo Editor
Some businesses start with million-dollar funding rounds, massive offices, and fancy launch parties. Junior? Nah… it started with a cup of coffee, a laptop, and a crazy personal dare: 'Can I build a working AI photo editor in 24 hours?' I'm not going to lie; it sounded insane. But in e-commerce, Shopify product images can literally make or break a sale. And most sellers? They don't have the time, budget, or patience to learn Photoshop. So yeah, the idea felt worth losing some sleep over. Day one was pure chaos. No plan, no roadmap, just me and the keyboard. By the next morning, I had a working prototype a basic AI photo editing tool that could: Remove backgrounds cleanly (no more messy edges) Upscale blurry images so they look sharp Add quick AI photo filters for that extra pop It wasn't perfect. In fact, it was a little ugly. But it worked . And honestly, in tech, working beats pretty much any day. One month later, junior – mini ai tools wasn't just a half-baked experiment. It was live on the Shopify App Store, letting sellers do ecommerce image editing directly inside Shopify—no downloads, no complicated settings, no file juggling. Look, there are a ton of online photo editors out there. Most of them try to do everything —from weird meme filters to overly complex AI prompts. Junior? It's laser-focused on what sellers actually need. Think: AI Image Generator for creating extra product shots without hiring a photographer for creating extra product shots without hiring a photographer AI Photo Enhancement to make images sharper and brighter instantly to make images sharper and brighter instantly AI Background Remover that actually understands where your product ends and the background begins that actually understands where your product ends and the background begins AI Image Restoration to bring old or damaged product photos back to life to bring old or damaged product photos back to life AI Image Blending & Combination for creative campaigns or lifestyle shots for creative campaigns or lifestyle shots Batch Editing so you can process hundreds of photos in one go If you're selling online, your product image is your first lighting? Buyer clicks background? You look unprofessional. Low quality? They won't trust you enough to pay. Junior fixes that fast. Even amateur photos can look like they were taken in a studio — all thanks to AI-powered enhancements and background cleanups. We've had Shopify store owners who: Launched an entire seasonal collection in half the time because of batch editing Revived old stock photos instead of paying for a new shoot A/B tested product images made with AI generators and saw conversion rates jump One guy even told me he started using Junior to create custom images for Instagram ads without touching Canva or Photoshop. That's the kind of 'off-label' use I love. In e-commerce, time is money. Junior's Shopify integration means you edit right where your products live — no exporting, no zip files, no nonsense. Upload → Pick an action → Done. You can: Upscale resolution for marketplaces like Amazon Create quick mockups for new products Maintain consistent branding across every listing Junior's not done. We're already working on: Faster AI processing speeds Even cleaner background removal for tricky products (think jewelry or transparent bottles) Direct integration with ad platforms so your edited images can go straight into campaigns Basically — less clicking around, more selling. And if you want to follow updates or my thoughts on content creation tools, you can check my LinkedIn profile. Junior didn't start as a 'startup idea.' It started as a fun challenge. That's why it's so seller-focused — every feature exists to actually solve a pain point. From a one-day caffeine-fueled code sprint to a growing AI tool used by Shopify stores worldwide… it's proof that you don't need 6 months and a giant team to create something that changes the game. Final thought? If you're still editing photos manually in 2025… you're wasting time you could be using to make sales. Let AI handle the boring work — from photo effects online to complete visual content creation — so you can focus on growing your business. TIME BUSINESS NEWS
