If you mean no support for creating or using your own custom ICC camera profiles, or using third party profiles, you are correct. What do you mean no camera profiles? It has its own internal profiles, implemented as hidden, templates applied per camera, if I understand how it works. Slow response on large files and no support for camera profiles, no The other controls are just basic clones of PS tools or LR. The regions used for cloning/spotting/red-eye do behave slightly different, but are quickly learned by practice. The interactive rendering while adjusting the regions with splines and the other shape controls immediately shows the effect of changes than with the old 'dialog box/preview/OK/undo/redo' of other tools. Of course, Lightroom doesn't have selective editing at all. But it's not needed for tonal adjustments, only for color correction.Д¬an you explain why you think the splines are hard to use? I find them much easier, faster, and more intuitive than masking in Photoshop and other tools. If you mean that there is no way to make a region (mask) out of 'all pixels of a specific tone or color', then yes, it currently lacks that. You can use the ZoneMapper tool to change output values of entire tone zones. But the use of Zone System in LZ is really more marketing hype. I use LZ as my main image editor now, and think it's great. I've followed it from the beginning and justДЇinished an eval of Version 3.

The histogram (1/2 stop increments) to be freely expanded orД¬ompressed is something no other software can do with the same ease While zones in Lightzone are not exactly the same as the filmД¬oncept, I find it's a very powerful tool and the main reason why I Trying to make a statement regarding my review, but here is aД¬omment I had when reading your input. I've been down this road for years and you are correct that LZ has something that no one else has, I just question the real world functionality of it and the end results. Zone systems work well with B&W based images but fall short with color, especially skintone variations of subtle shading in portraiture based imaging.

Wasn't knocking your review as you did a most excellent job IMHO. Way of selecting specified tone ranges other than the veryДifficult to use splines, it is one of those things that looks good It's core implementation, is a kludge in LZ. (Photoshop is in a completely different category regarding price and purpose.) I am not sure what makes the splines hard to use for you but I found them to be very easy with exception of selecting minute detail which isn't the purpose of this tool anyway.

I agree that the other tools in the full version are plain vanilla, but learned to love both zones and splines. I mean, having 16 divisions of the histogram (1/2 stop increments) to be freely expanded or compressed is something no other software can do with the same ease that Lightzone shows. While zones in Lightzone are not exactly the same as the film concept, I find it's a very powerful tool and the main reason why I highly recommend the Basic version. I am not exactly sure if you were trying to make a statement regarding my review, but here is a comment I had when reading your input. It's about time to fix the rest of my site before posting more I just finished reviewing Lightzone 3 and posted the review.

The slow response on large files and no support for camera profiles, no ability to proof previews, continuous crashes due to out of memory errors, couldn't change the temp directory (maybe a trial limit) and just overall mediocre output were a few of the things I found. Without a generalized way of selecting specified tone ranges other than the very difficult to use splines, it is one of those things that looks good until you put it into production. The Zone concept, although useful in it's core implementation, is a kludge in LZ. I've followed it from the beginning and just finished an eval of Version 3. I alpha/beta for pretty much all the RC's on the planet with the exception of this one.
