Yesterday, I got an email from the website advertising a special offer for readers of Gizmo's Freeware Reviews website. The freeware version of Sagelight Image Editor is currently the Top Pick for the "Best Free Digital Editor" at Gizmo's Freeware. During the month of April, in an exclusive offer through Gizmo's Freeware, you can get the $60 full-featured version of this amazingly powerful professional image editor and pay just what you want!
Sagelight Image Editor V3.0 (previously called LightboxPlus) is a professional 48-bit image editor, with many powerful features that can take a humdrum snapshot, and turn it into something truly exceptional. If you can use a computer mouse then you can use this program. It is designed around a very simple and user friendly concept of click and drag sliders, that are completely intuitive, and you can see the results of the adjustments in real-time.
You will be able to begin using it immediately to enhance your pictures, even if you have very limited knowledge of digital photo editing software. If you find yourself saying, "Since it is easy for beginners to use, it can't be powerful enough for a professional," then you would be very mistaken. The keyword here is "depth" This program has real depth. As you become more familiar with the program, you will find that every aspect of your images can be tuned. By combining different functions with each other, you can bring out details and colors you had no idea were even there.
Part of the power of this program is that it supports 48bit color depth. That is over over 281 trillion possible colors. The human eye can perceive little beyond 24bit, which might leave some asking, "So what the point of the other 24?" The answer is that all that extra information helps with color accuracy, so Sagelight can take those imperceptible colors and bring them into the visible realm revealing a stunning amount of hidden detail and vibrance.
If you have a camera capable of shooting RAW, you can work directly on your images in Sagelight before converting them so no image information is lost. Not really into RAW, or don't even know what it is? No worries! Even if you have a low-end digital camera, that delivers just so-so quality pictures, with a little practice and patience you should be able to make them look like they were taken with pro equipment.
