Lightzone 2.4

Lightzone 2.4 has been released with another great feature, which has been further enhanced for photographers, called tonemapper. The detail enhancement in Tonemapper is excellent and does an excellent job of converting Raw files which are a little soft. The new version 2.4 has also been improved with new RAW and New B&W tools.

Lightzone 2.4's RAW tool now implements an exposure slider where can sometimes recapture about +1EV for some cameras by using negative exposure. It also features color noise removal and better white balance.

For more info on how tonemapper works, visit DOP, where there is a feature article on this excellent tool...

LightZone 2.2.1 released

Light Crafts have released Version 2.2.1 of their LightZone image editing and RAW conversion software for Mac and Windows. This latest version fixes a bug that prevents the saving or exporting of images to disks other than the system/boot disk.
