LightZone 3.5

LightZone offers a unique visual approach that focuses on what you want to do with your photos.
LightZone allows you to work at a higher level and focus on being creative rather than having to struggle with things like pixels, curves and histograms. Our photographic approach allows you to become proficient at image editing in a matter of hours. Use your intuition as a photographer rather than having to spend years reading books and attending courses.
LightZone, our classic all-in-one application, has its own integrated image browser and raw converter allowing you to use one application for your entire workflow.
The Photo Browser allows you to navigate among the folders on your computer.
For a given folder, the main view shows you thumbnails of all the photos in that folder. You also see all the image metadata for a selected photo.
Connecting the dots
LightZone is the only photo-editor where every operation is a smart operation.
No more tweaking of confusing histograms, no more guess-work; a single slider in LightZone can adjust any of the 16 exposure values in an image: individually, grouped or selectively.
Built-in intelligence
Safely experiment with change in exposures without changing color or vice versa. Instantly create High Dynamic Range images, without the need to take multiple exposures. All operations are performed in a 16-bit dynamic range for maximum editing flexibility.
Unlimited layers
An unlimited tool stack allows for unlimited edits to the photograph, in which the hierarchy determines in what order these edits are performed. Edit instructions are stored as non destructive operational layers (rather than pixel layers). Individual edit operations can be sequenced differently and turned on or off.
Powerful selections and mask
While many accurate adjustments can be made with tools without selections because of LightZones advanced image analysis technology, sometimes a specific region requires more attention or isolation.
LightZones live-regions with feathering can be changed in shape, or moved even after the edit is applied. Regions are linked to individual tools, allowing for very detailed editing operations.
