ON1 Software honors our monthly First Place Winner with a free copy of their wonderful Photo RAW.
It's the all-in-one photo organizer, editor, raw processor, and effects app you've been waiting for. Unlike the current class of photo editors requiring catalogs, slow responses, bouncing between apps for editing, and a subscription ecosystem, ON1 Photo 2017 features a new, modern raw processing engine, tuned for today's sensors and graphics chips. Combined with our current set of tools, the next generation of ON1 Photo, works where you want, as a standalone app, a plug-in for Adobe® Photoshop® & Lightroom®, or a host app for other editing apps.

Topaz Adjust
Topaz Labs has honored our monthly First Place Winners with a free copy of their wonderful Topaz Adjust perfected for brilliant contrast, detail, and color adjustments for 3 years!
Watch your images come to life with dramatic contrast, incredible detail and vivid color. Unlike our eyes, a camera lens can't compensate for all the tonal values we see right in front of us. If you shoot something bright, you’ll lose all the details in the shadows, if you shoot something dark, the highlights will be blown out. You can try to correct contrast, details, and vibrancy yourself, but it’s difficult to make images pop like you want.
Thankfully, with Topaz Adjust you can give your images the soul and character you envisioned in the field.
