Publisher's description

From Light Crafts :

Frustrated with complex, convoluted photo manipulation tools? Tired of endlessly searching for obscure tricks to digitally enhance your pictures, negatives and prints? If so, than we invite you to step out of image editing darkness and enter into the LightZone. Written by photographers for photographers, LightZone is an image editing software package that's simple to use, with powerful controls that won't force you to be a computer expert.

Version 1.6.2 supports RAW files from the Nikon D80 camera, Olympus RAW files. A new ToneMapper tool replaces the Contrast Mask tool. Much improved Noise Reduction tool.

Version: LightZone 1.6.2

"If you have the time to learn it (a long time), it might be valuable."

by seikena on October 12, 2006

Pros: I suspect this program is potentially very powerful.

Cons: Difficult to learn. Tutorials are not of much use. The Help section has many one line definitions which link to other one line definitions, all of which lead nowhere. Does not accept pictures in tiff format. The "30 day" trial period is actually only 7 days, timed to the minute! The graphics part of the help pages do not print properly so you have to read everything online. Prints in the trial version have thin white lines through them. $149 ??
