How do I navigate Photo RAW to find the last used filters?
Answered
I know I've seen this option, but no idea how I navigated to find them.

Is this what you are looking for?

Where do I pull up info? I only see this.
Is there no "last used" option in the presets and filters on the left. No easy way?0 -

Is there no "last used" option in the presets and filters on the left. No easy way?I'm trying to easily apply the filter with settings I used last on this photo on another one.

Are you running the program as a stand alone or using it as a plug-in for some other program? Which version?

2020.5 Using in latest Photoshop via the automate option.

I don't know if that option is available when using Photo RAW as a plug-in, you'll have to ask support or maybe another user here knows.
I would expect that unless you used the Smart Objects option when sending the Ps layer to ON1 that that info would be lost when you return to Photoshop. See page 10 in the User Guide for more info on Preserving Changes Made in Photoshop.

Yes, all lost. No worries. Looks like the workaround will be to make sure I save a critical filter and settings to "favorites" going forward. For now, I'll just put a previously filtered photo next to a new one and do my best to visually recreate.
ON1 saves it as a new layer, but not as a smart object. No filter information is available on that layer.

Did you look at the User Guide? From page 10:
To be able to re-edit your Photoshop images at a later point inside ON1 Photo RAW 2020, you will use Photoshop’s Smart Object technology. To do this, follow these steps:
-
Open the image you want to work on in Photoshop.
-
Select the layer you want to work on.
-
Right-click on the layer and choose Convert to Smart Object.
-
From the Filter menu, select ON1 and then the tab that you would like to use.
-
When you’re finished editing your photo, click the Done button in Photo RAW 2020.
And on page 11 it continues:
To re-edit your Smart Object layer again inside ON1 Photo RAW 2020, double-click on the ON1 module name in the edited Smart Object layer in Photoshop. Photo RAW will then launch that module, and let you change your previous settings or make new ones.
NOTE: Smart Object re-editibility is not possible when you add a layer to your photo in Photo RAW (in addition to the original, base layer). When you save your work, Photo RAW will flatten the image before it sends it back to Photoshop.
To re-edit a Photoshop layer in Photo RAW, double-click the module name in the Smart Filters section of the Layers palette.

Thanks, but... Yikes! read through this a few minutes ago and my eyes glazed over. ;-) I was hoping for an easy solution. This is more work than just saving a filter.

Found it!
"Recently Used" is a preset buried alphabetically in the preset menu. I knew they put it somewhere.0 -
Hmm, I don't have that on my system.

It's buried in the unfortunate way they chose to list presets. You have to scroll way down to find it. Giant icons that take up too much real estate. A simple list view ( or at least the option for it) would have made this much easier to use.

Still not there. ;)

Lucky me. ;-) It's such a complicated GUI, just glad I found what I needed this time.

but that's a folder, what's inside of it?
I don't have it either.

Recently used filters.

It is listed as a new feature for 2019 but I can't find anything in any of the User Guides from that version forward. I'm not seeing it in 2020 either even after applying one to an image.
0 -
I couldn't find anything in the user guides either, but I guess I call myself fortunate that I have this feature in my version and can find it!
I'm using this as a plugin in PS (latest version) and access it through the Automate menu.
It's listed as "ON1 Effects 2020"0 -
Its in my PR 2021 build 9794 on Windows 100 -
Barry, Just curious are you using PR 2021 as a plugin? I am not and Like Brian and Rick I don't have "Recently Used" either. I do not use PR as a plugin.

David the screen shot shows PR as an standalone app, I do some times use as a plug in with Affinity Photo
I will try as a plug in shortly and report back
0 -
Barry, the question would be does this get updated when used as a plugin or when used as standalone? I never use PR as a plugin and wonder if it's not some feature that only gets updated with presets used when using as a plugin. Hope that makes sense.

I just tried using Photo RAW as a plug-in to Apple Photos and I still do not have a Recent Filters folder. For me neither standalone nor plug-in shows it.

Curious if any tech from ON1 monitors the forum... I'm sure this could be explained right away.

The forums are monitored but not by tech support.

I have seen this Recently Used folder in an previous version of PR but can’t remember which, it could have been 2019, I still have 2020 on my computer, this does not have the Recently Used preset folder.
I have been trying to install 2020 in Affinity as a plug-in to test the plug-in theory but so far without success, perhaps because 2021 has installed its plug-ins?

You should be able to install them manually. On Macs there is a copy of them at /Applications/ON1 Photo RAW 202x/Plug-in Files. On Windows they are at C:/Program Files/ON1/ ON1 PHOTO RAW 202x/Plug-in Files. I don't know where Affinity expects to find them but their web site can probably tell you that.

Since I use this feature so much, I'm afraid to lose it by going to 2021. There's obviously some sort of program glitch that ON1 developers need to address to fix this kind of disparity.
I wonder if they eliminated it, but some of us with legacy presets still have it?0 -
Thank you Brian, I know how to install plug ins in Affinity but although the 2020 Develop and Effects plug ins are listed in the preference they are not shown in the filter menu, I suspect because 2021 plug ins are there
0 -
I didn't mean to offend you, I don't know what you know so I start from the basics. :) You did say you couldn't get it installed.
I don't know Affinity but it seems to me if both plug-ins are installed and it is showing only one, that would be an Affinity problem. Have you asked them or ON1's tech support?
