AI Restore Feature is Very Poor - relatives do not look “right”

I bought this update specifically and only for the AI restore feature and it has been a great disappointment. Unlike Chat GPT AI photo restoration, which uses the contours of my images, your program appears to find a “near match” from a database of thousands of images, making my relatives look like strangers with different eyes and mouths than they really had. I would like a refund. I don’t use the feature anymore after trying it on numerous photos.

Reply from ON1

Thank you for sharing this, and we're sorry the feature didn't deliver what you were hoping for. Restore works differently than generative AI tools like ChatGPT, and we understand that distinction matters a lot when you're restoring photos of people you know and love. Getting faces wrong is not an acceptable result.
Please contact us at on1.com/support and reference this review. We'll take care of you.

Easy in the end but hard to start

Easy in the end but the notice that it is expired came after the fact and did not have a “1 click to renew” option

Thank you for the feedback. You're right, the renewal experience should be smoother and a timely heads-up with an easy renewal option is a reasonable expectation. We'll pass this along to our team.
Glad you got it sorted in the end, and thanks for sticking with us!

Updated from Raw 2026 Disappointing!

Updated from Raw 2026 to get the Restore AI and it's disappointing. I tried the Restore AI before buying but the watermarks were on 100% of the page.
Restoring an old photo distorts all humans faces so they are unrecognizeable.
Also still have to use Photoshop to fine tune sharpness and colors.
Wouldn't buy again.

Thank you for the honest feedback.Thank you for the honest feedback. We're sorry Restore AI didn't live up to expectations, particularly with faces. That's consistent with feedback we're actively working to address and we take it seriously.
On the watermark coverage during the trial, that's fair criticism and something we'll look at so future customers can better evaluate the feature before buying.
For the sharpening and color work, there may be tools within ON1 that can replace your Photoshop step and we'd love to show you what's available if you're open to it.
Please reach out to us at on1.com/support and we'll do right by you.

The restoration feature is sensational on landscapes and old photos, but the face restoration is not up to scratch and I did not even recognise myself.

Thank you for the great feedback on landscapes and old photos! On faces, you're echoing what we're hearing from others and it's something we're actively working to improve. Not recognizing yourself in a restored photo is not the result we're after. Stay tuned!

Would not recommend this product

I upgraded for AI Restore but this produced disappointing result. I got much better quality images from the free version of Gemini.
The results were not as advertised and I’m sorry I can not recommend this upgrade.

Images not returning to Lightroom after edits.

I needed customer service after first install and they were great. I am having troubles sharing back and forth with Lightroom Classic. I use “edit in” command in LR to send to ON1 (MAX) and can use Restore AI to repair old images. When I save, I don’t know where it goes. I couldn’t reach customer service again so asked Kelby One members for help. I haven’t tried their suggestions yet but I hope they work.

Thank you for the kind words about our support team. The Lightroom roundtrip workflow can definitely get confusing around where files land after saving, and we want to make sure you have a clear answer rather than having to hunt for help elsewhere.
Please come back to us at on1.com/support and we'll walk you through exactly where your files are going and how to get that workflow dialed in. We're here!

Great price for the new features in the upgrade. It’s a very powerful tool that allows me to do 99% of my workflow without moving between other apps.

Presets and tools are only working on…

Presets and tools are only working on specific types of photos that also are big. Useless for many photos or pictures, especially web ones. For instance, if you use their "Super select" or mask tool on a single background color picture of 1000px, it just selects all. Impossible to only pick the local background. Amazingly annoying for an app that claims to make it all easy.
When seeking help from their website, AI bot unhelpful.
I guess their success comes mostly from marketing.

Thank you for the detailed feedback. The masking behavior you're describing on smaller, flat-color images is a real limitation and we appreciate you calling it out specifically. That context is useful for our team.
We're also sorry the support bot let you down. You deserve a real answer, not a runaround.
Please reach out to us directly at on1.com/support and a member of our team will work through these issues with you personally. We'd like the chance to prove the product can do more than the marketing suggests.

Great Product

Great product, I cancelled my adobe CC. I already had an older version of the on 1 with the plug in, but this time I just bought it as a stand alone product.

Terrible Lesson on IR Processing

It's annoying that I had to rejoin the "Plus" program to simply run a lesson on infrared processing. And the lesson was a waste of time. Clearly, the presenter has not spent much time processing IR. The absolute worse ON1 Photo Raw lesson I've ever watched. Basically, all he did was swap/invert colors and tell me what he liked. Horrible....;

Reply from ON1

Thank you for the honest feedback. A good IR lesson should go well beyond color swaps and cover real technique. That's a fair critique, and we'll make sure it gets to the content team. We're sorry it didn't deliver the value you expected from Plus.

I upgraded to a different computer and 2026. I hate it. I cannot figure out how to move my extras from the old computer to the new and the new version is
way too AI dependent . I would like to see a simplified version that just does basic editing. Right now, I'm thinking this new version sucks.

Although I neglected to check if my current OS would run this version ( it doesn’t) The folks at On 1 refunded my payment without hesitation. When I inquired if On1 3025 were available for purchase, they informed me that it was not but in any case, would not run on my current OS. This is what all customer support should aspire to.

This latest release of ON 1 Raw 2026.4…

This latest release of ON 1 Raw 2026.4 is a big bait and switch. There are many, many places that states there have been several changes to 2026.4 On 1 Photo Raw and one of the changes listed is Restore AI. This is a lure to get you to load it up, (it took me 35 minutes for the AI features to load) then it comes up with an upgrade screen for $49.95. I have used ON 1 even before it was ON 1, about 36 years. Well, it is time for me to be using something different. Maybe I can find a company that will not be deceitful in their advertisements.

Thank you for taking the time to share this, and we're genuinely sorry for the confusion and frustration this experience caused. Thirty-six years is a remarkable history with these products, and that kind of loyalty means a lot. We don't take it lightly.
To clarify: Restore AI is a feature included in ON1 Photo RAW MAX, which is the expanded tier of Photo RAW 2026. When the update notes mention it, we should be clearer that it's part of the MAX upgrade rather than a free addition to the base product. That's fair feedback, and we'll take it seriously to make sure our release communications are more transparent going forward.
We understand that discovering an upsell screen after a long install feels like a poor experience, especially for someone who has been with us this long. That's not the impression we want to leave.
If you'd like to talk through what's included in your current version, or if there's anything we can do to make this right, please reach out to our support team at on1.com/support. We'd genuinely love the chance to keep you.
