“Pros Features include RAW support, layers, Zones, and
Regions. It’s a great deal for the price, and probably the best
option for Linux users

“Cons

“The overall feel of the software is not great. A full-screen
editing mode seems to be missing. The interface is also a bit
cramped

“LightZone is a cross-platform photo-editing program that works
on Linux, Windows, and Mac OS. Although we wouldn’t put it in the
same feature bracket as Adobe Photoshop, it comes packed with some
very useful features that will allow you to turn your photos into
some great-looking work.

“Readers already familiar with LightZone might recall that the
Linux version was previously available as a free beta. However,
since v3.x, developer Light Crafts has brought LightZone Linux onto
a par with the Mac OS and Windows editions.”
