Product Description
LightZone is a new class of advanced image editing software that provides the essential tools avid photographers need to edit their photographs and get the images they want. The company’s patent-pending technology, based on traditional photographic concepts of light values and shapes, provides a superior alternative to the outdated pixel-painting methodology used by other software. With LightZone, photographers experience greater precision and improved productivity in the lightroom — leaving the digital darkroom behind.
Market Opportunity
IDC forecasts that sales of digital cameras will reach 27 million units in 2005 — a new record. One of the biggest growth sectors is in the cameras used by professional and advanced amateur photographers, digital SLRs, which InfoTrends/CAP Ventures expects to grow 81% in 2005.
DEMO Says
For the first time in more than a decade, a product has come along to challenge Photoshop’s supremacy in the digital photo retouching space. LightZone is a fresh approach to digital photography that builds on classic print photography principles. While it won’t — and shouldn’t — unseat Photoshop in high-end design application, LightZone nicely bridges the gap between low-end photo touch up utilities and the high-end feature set in Photoshop.
