LightBox Free Image Editor
Lightbox Free Image Editor is an impressive application suited best for basic to intermediate photo editing needs. If you’re looking for a photo editor that enables you to get the best out of your photo in a few minutes, then this is it. All the features are organized in such a way that makes it easy to access any of them. The user-interface is nice and clean, providing a pleasant environment to work with.
What I like the most from this utility, beside the speed, is the way the features are organized. Not to mention that almost every function has usage tips to give you an insight on how things should be done. I was tempted to buy the pro version when trying the free one. The pro has more features that I’d like to have, but you can save your money if you only need to perform basic to intermediate editing to your photos. The free version never expires, after all.
The following are some of the features of the free version:
- Red eye remover armed with face-detection technology.
- Smart-Fill Light technology to fill in shadows while keeping your image looking real.
- Most core routines written in machine-level code for speed.
- RAW support.
- All operations in 48-bits (16-bit-per-channel), supporting working with 48-bit files.
- Color cast remover.
- Preview and compare the editing result in 4 different ways.
- Real-time editing result.
Keep in mind that this application works only for Windows XP, Windows 2000, and Windows Vista.
If you’re interested, the pro version has more advanced features like dodge and burn, clone brush, photograph filter and tint, masking, smart contrast, etc.
