DAVIDFREELS  If I could give Lightzone negative stars, I would. I first got LZ in a software bundle two or so years ago when I was running 10.4 with a G4 PB. I tried again when I upgraded to 10.5. It crashed upon every attempted launch, asking me if I wanted to reset the settings. I did. Still crashed. I now have an Intel MBP, and it does the same thing with v3.8.5. It's a piece of crap. They should pay me $200 for the time I've spent on this piece of junk. If it was freeware, I wouldn't waste my time or hard drive space to download it.   
(Version 3.8.5)

FELIPE CARRAL  BEST Image Software EVER. I cannot recommend it more...  
(Version 3.8.5)

EP1CURUS  OS X 10.5.8, Java Version 1.5.0_20, LightZone 3.8.2

This program crashed from initial launch. I have never installed this app before.

Crash Reporter says "The application LightZone has unexpectedly quit". No other error message is given. Program has not successfully launched once. Reboots do not help either.

Was thinking of getting this program with Toast Titanium Pro. This package retails for 150.00. Would you want to commit this much change on a program that will not even launch.

I meet the system requirements. http://www.roxio.com/enu/products/toast/titanium/system-requirements.html

If you are thinking of purchasing this, I would test the other programs as well. I did not. This is a deal killer. It would be very aggravating after dropping big coin and get this. It's their latest release too.  
(Version 3.8.2)

MALAGO  … installed Vs. 3.8.2;

starting the app, get the message:

Unexpected Failure - Error starting Java virtual machine;

using OS 10.6.1, iMac 3.06 GHz;  
(Version 3.8.2)

DAWGDRUMMER  The program seems very interesting but crashes and gets error messages. I have an early 2009 8 core Mac Pro running Mac OSX 10.5.8

Any help would be appreciated.  
(Version 3.8)

SHAUN  This is an outstanding image editing app. The "Relight" function has saved a few of my photos. Easy to use, a few "clicks" and it's done. Only downfall is the speed.   
(Version 3.7)

SYHARRIS  LightZone now requires JAVA Release 6...which is available ONLY for OS 10.4.10 or above.

Therefore, if you're running OS 10.4.9 or less you WON'T be able to use LightZone.

The stated minimum requirements for LightZone don't, as of April 3,'08, reflect that.  
(Version 3.5)

USBER  LZ is going to get better and better and the prize is falling - when I bought it first it was 235€ - and now it is in a realistic range.

So buy it and be happy there are a lot of unique features.  
(Version 3.5)

CLAUDE SAPP  Pros:

-though not as full featured as Photoshop, but does what it does REALLY well

-does what a photographer needs to do, not what a graphic artist needs to do

- intuitive software, makes sense to Zone System users

Cons:

- a great addition to Photoshop, not a replacement

- difficulty handling large files, seems more suitable to digicam users than persons who scan negs into large files for manipulation

- needs tons of RAM, your computer will have a lot to do with how well the software functions  
(Version 3.5)

CYBORG9  A really nice app, but if you need support, inquiries go unanswered. Check LightZone's Forum; others, there, have experienced this very problem.
