19th Parallel Press Release

LightBox Free Image Editor for Windows Delivers an Easy, Fast and Powerful Alternative to Standard Image Editors.

Lightbox was designed from scratch to answer the difficulties associated with typical image editors. With real-time, fluid controls and powerful results, Lightbox is also easy and intuitive, performing all actions in 16-bits-per-channel to achieve high-end quality.

With an emphasis on image quality and ease-of-use, LightBox is great for beginners and experienced users alike.  Interactive help is available that leads the user through the process of learning how to make their photographs look great.

LightBox Free Image Editor’s simple user-interface allows most actions to take place in a single “Quick Edit” control box that gives instant, real-time feedback, allowing the user to experiment without having to wait or get lost.  Our new “Color Toner” technology replaces and advances the traditional “Tint and Temperature” approach, making toning an image much easier and more intuitive. 

Using a 48-bit engine written mostly in machine-level code, Lightbox supports 48-bit tiff and 48-bit RAW files, in addition to standard jpeg images. Our “Smart FIll Light” technology analyzes your picture and adds light just where your picture needs it. Advanced red-eye algorithms remove red eye easily,
as well as a “Guaranteed Red-Eye Removal” system.  All other basic functions are supported as well, such as print, crop, rotate, resize, sharpen, before/after views, etc.

LightBox Free Image Editor never expires, has no adware or spyware, and is not crippled in any manner.  It comes with a 30-day trial of the more powerful LightBox Plus retail version for $19.95, which can be opted out of.  A non-trial version (i.e. free version only) can also be downloaded.
