Photo software company ON1 has released its first free update for ON1 Photo RAW 2019. The new 2019. 1 version features enhanced Focus Stacking, masking and portrait features, as well as improvements to the Lightroom plug-in and enhancements suggested by users.

The enhanced Focus Stacking feature offers more accurate image alignment and less speckling. Users now have the option output as layers with layer masks, as well, for additional manual adjustments. The Focus Stacking dialog and HDR window previews now include panning and zooming.

Other enhancements include better masking results when copying, pasting, and inverting, plus increased face auto-detection accuracy for portraits. The update adds the option to delete face selections, the Crop tool now remembers its preset across images, there's the ability to import/export the keyword list, and other minor enhancements.

In addition to feature changes, Photo RAW 2019. 1 adds support for the following cameras:

Nikon z6

Nikon D3500

Sony XH99

Pentax K-1 II

Fujifilm GFX 50R

Leica C-Lux

According to ON1, it is wrapping up work on its upcoming AI Quick Mask Tool, which will replace the original Quick Mask Tool. The feature wasn't included with this update due to 'some fine tuning' that is still needed, but it will likely be released in a late January free update.
