  Summary

  With the rise of digital photography devices, be they cameras, smart phones or webcams more or less advanced, taking pictures is now available to all for the first time. At any time and any place, today, we have the opportunity (or the wish) to take a picture. It is not the prerogative of all, however, take a good picture. Many people, like me, are almost completely negated in the area of photography, and therefore have recourse to some software (more or less valid) to improve their own photographs. The process of Taking a photograph often does not occur in ideal conditions (bad weather or not ideal light conditions) Also taking in mind that not all devices renders the colors in the same way or correctly. The result is that often we get pictures that leave something to be desired as regards colors, contrast, brightness, and so on. This is where comes to help the fantastic "Relight". Relight lets you make changes to the pictures with regard to their brightness, contrast, hue, color saturation, color temperature, but even make transformations such picture enlargement or reduction, rotation or cropping true in real time. And when I say in real time, I mean really in real time! Relight it uses the graphics acceleration via the GPU (I Used to multi-core AMD system with an AMD 6570 video card) to operate at full speed, a speed much higher than other "famous" packages, heavier and more expensive. I tried to adjust the color of some photographs, even of large size, and the result was the same. The color and adjustments were made to the pictures in real time! Even the magnification or image rotation happens in real time, at speeds that were unthinkable a few years ago. All this thanks to GPU acceleration, but apparently also due to goodness and quality of the software. I dug into the author's website, and I found that the software programmer is an expert in graphics (2D and 3D). Not only, he is also the author of low level hardware accelerated graphics drivers for certain systems. So, he's a graphic expert. No wonder, then, the outstanding quality of Relight. I would add to this short review (which I gladly wrote, among other things) that the software is easy to use and is extremely intuitive up from its quick installation. A wizard at the opening of a photo already gives an indication of the precise measures to adjust and enhance your images in a decisive manner. Interesting tools and useful features make it possible to view (in real-time) the difference of the image on which you are working, before and after treatment, and before applying any changes. A special mention goes to the really powerful "Color mapping" tool (I haven't seen an implementation like this in other packages) that permits to map source colors of an image to desired targets colors, obtaining very precise and fast color transformations. Try the nice tool SCRAP (Scale, Crop and Rotate). It 'is implemented in an interesting way. Also interesting is the ability to print photos, or send it to a professional printing service online (Gift / merchandize), for printing on ceramics, t-shirts or other things. I personally don't use this feature, but hey, it comes with the software :-). On the other hand, it must be said that there are no functions that allow you to post or send your own pictures on social networks. But I asked the developer about this and he said that will be implemented in future releases. In conclusion, if you need to retouch many photos, Relight is made for you. I highly recommend it, also because of the low cost. systems where I tried "relight" WIndows 8.1 64 AMD six core 8 GB ram Amd Radeon Sapphire 6570 1 GB Windows 8.1 64 Intel core duo 4 GB ram Nvidia 9400M Tested on Windows 7 too
