LightZone provides  a unique visual approach to digital photo editing, allowing you to focus on what  you want to do with your photos, not how you do it. All operations are live and  have an immediate effect upon which you can make new editing decisions. No more  guess work. The software allows you to enhance photos in a simple and natural  way, without the steep learning-curve found in many other software programs.
  

From editing RAW  photographs or JPEG, TIFF or DNG photos, LightZone is a complete digital image  editing application in a single software package. LightZone's intelligent  editing features help adjust exposures, boost overall color, correct color  shifts and white balance errors, selectively sharpen or blur images or parts of  images, remove dust spots and reduce the noise often found in high-ISO digital  images.
  

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 LightZone's advanced image analysis technology, sometimes a specific  region requires more attention or isolation.
LightZone's 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.
