Compare Local Gen AI and Stability AI in ON1 Photo RAW 2025

Step-by-step

1. Zoom into the area of the photo containing the objects to be removed
2. Select the retouching tool
3. Apply the Local Gen AI model to remove the objects
4. Apply the Stability AI model to a separate layer for comparison
5. Toggle between the layers to evaluate texture reconstruction and color accuracy

Options

• Use Local Gen AI for offline, on-device processing
• Use Stability AI for cloud-based processing

Watch out for

• AI-generated results are typically lower resolution than the original camera capture
• Generated areas may appear soft or 'muddy' compared to the rest of the image

Tips

• Use AI removal for social media posts where high resolution is less critical
• Be cautious using AI removal for large-scale prints due to potential softness
• Try both models on the same area as they will produce different 'deltas' or creative interpretations of the scene
• Opt for Stability AI if you need stronger results with fewer artifacts and better color maintenance
