DESCRIPTION
LightZone Basic is the essential desktop photo-editing software for people who value their photographs. LightZone is purpose-built for photography and allows anyone, regardless of photographic skillset, to edit photographs quickly and easily. Check out some of the tutorial videos at the learning center!

LightZone uses patented image-processing to analyze every photograph allowing users to make "smart" visual edits, instantly and with ease. The new built-in instant styles, such as Black and White, High Dynamic Range, Local Contrast, and Toning, give you the instant results you want. Tweak a style or dive right in and use LightZone's intelligent tools to make it your own. LightZone understands the technology of photography, so its users don't need to.

LightZone comes with a complete set of photo editing, asset management and workflow features, eliminating the need to buy a separate photo database. Just leave your photographs in the file-system, LightZone helps you manage them.

Full version available! The full version includes batch processing of some functions that the basic does not.

    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.  (Version 3.5)
