Layer Masking in ON1 – AM

https://youtu.be/A4iFpVk1OGI

This tutorial by Anthony Morganti (AM) provides a comprehensive guide to layer masking and compositing within ON1 Photo RAW 2026.

AM emphasizes a workflow-first approach, suggesting that users establish their desired final orientation and background before introducing a subject.

By utilising automated background removal alongside manual refinement tools, photographers can achieve a realistic blend between different image elements. The guide details how to independently edit layers for exposure and colour consistency to ensure the subject appears naturally integrated.

To finish the project, the AM explains the benefits of stamping layers, allowing for non-destructive global adjustments such as lens blur and vignettes. Overall, the material serves as an educational bridge between basic photo editing and complex digital manipulation.

AM wraps up the tutorial by reiterating that this video will be added to his full paid course, where users can download the tutorial and images for practice. He invites viewers who aren’t ready to purchase to try his free Quick Start Course that helps beginners get up and running with ON1 Photo RAW 2026.
