Lightzone is the software that the folks over at Light Craft have created to compete with other photo editing and viewing suites.

Mac and Window users have to pay up to $250.

But for now, it looks like Linux users are getting it for free.

As one of my link pages says...

"LightZone is a professional photo browser and editor, like Aperture or Lightroom. It's also useful for amateurs, like iPhoto or Picasa. It runs on Linux, Windows, and Mac.

The Linux version is free, as in beer."

So hop to it folks...

Nothing like free beer..

Oh...

and just an after thought....

Mike, do you think maybe (if the Linux Gods allow it) we might even see it being included with a future LF DVD. ? ?

I read about this somewhere on the internet the other day and thought ti sounded like a great piece of software. Now all I need is to be able to afford a camera that can shoot in raw mode

Well, I know it's not just for raw files, but that seems to be one of its chief benefits over other Linux offerings. It's a pro tool, while I'm just a hopeless am(ateur).

Everyone deserves a little hope Rhakios, I have learned how to play a couple of tunes on a guitar, ole slow hand has nothing to fear though

I gave up guitar many years ago, I watched a concert where John McLoughlin re-tuned his guitar half way through a piece, WITHOUT STOPPING PLAYING.

The next day I watched a freind of mine laying down some finger picking, far faster than I had ever managed.
He had been playing for 3 weeks, I had been struggling to teach myself that piece for 6 months.

I was a middling bass guitarist, a poor rhythm and a terrible lead.

I decided then that guitar was not for me, I gave away my Hohner 6 string acoustic and my Futurama Strat copy (my beautiful Fender bass got smashed in a road accident(sob)).

I made a terrible mistake really, that Hohner would be worth a packet now.


moral: learn your limitations and try something else

I can confirm that this works well. I own a Nikon D80 and this seems to be able to edit both the jpegs AND the raw files well. It looks as if its designed to be competition for Apple Apeture or Adobe Lightroom rather than Photoshop. Glad we get it for free....Nice find.
