At the present time a few of my favorite developers are offering steep discounts to celebrate the July 4th holiday! Here is a quick overview, please act fast so as to not miss them:
Developer ON1 (celebrating 21 years with an Anniversary Sale!) is positioning Photo RAW 2026 as “Your All-in-One Alternative to Adobe – No Subscription Required!” They say, “Tired of complicated tools, endless menus and rising monthly fees? You’re not alone. More photographers are actively looking to move away from Adobe. Monthly costs keep adding up, and many feel locked into plans they don’t want. What should feel creative starts to feel like work—too many steps, too much friction. Photography should be enjoyable, not something you wrestle with or keep paying for.
“ON1 Photo RAW 2026.3 gives you a better way. It replaces both Lightroom and Photoshop in one easy-to-use app—so you can edit faster, enjoy the process and skip the subscription.”
Their new Mastery Bundle sale includes expert training, shortcuts and adaptive presets and skies. Or you can pick and choose:
According to the photographers-developers at Radiant (and in my own experience), “the newest version 2 of Radiant Photo is fast, intelligent, true-to-life. Assistive AI, natural color, no cloud uploads, no over-editing. The promise: stunning results the moment you open your photo”.
Radiant Photo 2 analyzes the image, restores natural color, brings back balance and detail and gently softens imperfections without making the photo look “edited.” It’s especially good with skin tones and faces but works on all subjects.
The flash Fourth of July Radiant Summer Bundle sale gives you Radiant Photo 2 plus supporting files as well as a year free of the radiant Toolkit. Sale ends July 5th!
