With the introduction of AI-based RAW image demosaicing, ON1 NoNoise AI 2024 ensures that noise reduction is applied at the most foundational level, promising unparalleled results.
ON1 NoNoise AI 2024 isn’t just about superior noise reduction capabilities; it’s also about putting the power back into the hands of the photographer.

Whether you’re a seasoned photo editor or someone just starting out, ON1 NoNoise AI 2024 provides you with powerful tools at your fingertips. Features like advanced layer editing and the new AI Deblurring Model for reducing motion blur are particularly noteworthy, offering creative possibilities that were previously hard to achieve. Performance enhancements, including faster processing and batch exporting, further streamline the editing workflow, making it more efficient than ever before.
As ON1 NoNoise AI 2024 hits the market, it does so with an attractive proposition for early adopters. Currently available for preorder at a discounted price, the software also offers additional benefits for existing ON1 product owners and ON1 Everything subscribers.

With support for numerous new camera models, ON1 NoNoise AI 2024 is not just a tool for today but a foundation for tomorrow’s photographic innovations.
With each iteration, ON1 continues to push the boundaries of what photo editing software can achieve.

If you’re a mathematician who specializes in geometry, you might be called a geometer. No other term could so neatly describe the meticulous focus of German scholar Max Brückner (1860-1934), who was lauded during his lifetime for his remarkable collection of polyhedra models.
In 1900, Brückner collected many of his specimens into the book Vielecke und Vielflache, Theorie und Geschichte, or “Polygons and Polyhedra, Theory and History,” which dives into great detail about the mathematically exact, three-dimensional shapes. His discoveries include beautifully complex forms known as the final stellation of the iscosahedron and the compound of three octahedra, the latter of which M.C. Escher incorporated into his 1948 wood engraving, “Stars.”

Edited Press Release
Keeneland Library received a history-making gift from six-time Eclipse Award-winning photographer Barbara Livingston, who has donated an estimated two million photographic negatives from the collection of famed Turf photographer Jim Raftery.
Raftery’s Turfotos Collection is the most comprehensive photographic collection of Thoroughbred racing in 20th century North America, chronicling the sport’s human and equine legends for nearly 60 years, from the late 1930s through the early 1990s.
“We are incredibly grateful to Barbara for placing this incomparable historic industry asset in our care,” Keeneland Library Director Roda Ferraro said. “The Raftery Turfotos Collection is the largest gifted still image acquisition in Keeneland Library history, and we are honored to preserve Jim Raftery’s legacy for future generations of researchers, writers and racing fans.”
Livingston, the longtime chief photographer for Daily Racing Form, acquired the Turfotos collection from Raftery’s family in 2020 as part of her personal quest to preserve racing’s photographic history.
“Jim Raftery was among the all-time great racing photographers; he was stunningly prolific and a character to boot,” Livingston said. “I gave the majority of negatives and slides from the Raftery Collection to Keeneland Library because they will provide the collection a safe haven.
“I grew up inspired by so many photographs from the collections of Skeets Meadors, C.C. Cook, and more, that Keeneland Library provided to others for their use,” she said. “I saw how the Library preserved these collections, as well as the respect they have for history and photographers. The Library was clearly the right choice for me and, more importantly, it was the right choice for Jim Raftery and his family. Jim Raftery’s name will now continue to be seen and, with Keeneland’s help, his photographs will no doubt inspire future photographers, racing historians and racing fans.”
In December, Ferraro traveled to Livingston’s home in upstate New York to coordinate the four-day move of 3,300 pounds of negatives via truck to a climate-controlled off-site storage facility in Lexington.
The Library began processing the collection in January, an undertaking that given its size and scope will span decades. Bin by bin, the negatives will be rehoused in archival enclosures and stored in the Library’s 24/7 temperature- and humidity-controlled vault.
Each negative will be indexed and triaged for digitization. An internal indexing system, custom-built by the Library for this project, will render each negative searchable by place, horse, race, person and date, among other metadata fields.
“Without an intake, archival rehousing, processing and indexing workflow customized to this uniquely rich and sizable collection, we would have two million inaccessible negatives,” Ferraro said. “We created a system centered on access and preservation of the negatives in their original form and, when warranted by condition or a high likelihood for potential future use, a digital form.”
The most imperiled negatives will be digitized during processing. Select others will be digitized to respond to patron image requests after each respective negative is indexed and searchable.
“This is a painstaking, slow-moving process, particularly when we encounter negatives that require research to build our collection index with as much identifying information as possible,” Ferraro said. “It can be daunting to look ahead to the roughly two million negatives, but as with all our photograph collections, this is a critical preservation effort that will enhance our capacity to serve our global user base and tomorrow’s public and industry stakeholders.”
Keeneland Library works with the entire industry daily to connect journalists, writers, filmmakers, educators and publicists to its photography holdings for use in articles, books, documentaries and exhibits along with race track and farm promotional materials.
