LightZone is a breakthrough in photo editing software that’s been designed for photographers (not graphic artists nor web page designers) that provides intuitive tools based on traditional darkroom techniques.
LightZone is a tool creted for photographers in order to help them achieve professional results in a fraction of the time compared to other applications and without having to read a 500-page manual or take a course.
Drawing on principles behind the photographic Zone System and traditional darkroom film photography, LightZone makes it simple and easy to bring out the true tone, color and contrast often hidden in digital images.
Designed by photographers for photographers, LightZone offers a rich set of powerful, yet easy to use digital editing tools.
