LightMachine is a plugin for performing all kinds of light
adjustments in photos. It combines shadow/highlight, virtual
lighting and color-based correction tools for performing
sophisticated corrections without the need for time-consuming
selections and layer stacks. LightMachine can correct brightness,
contrast and saturation in specific image areas independently from
each other. It lets you correct photos taken under bad light
conditions or with bad camera settings and achieve results that
rival photos taken under the best circumstances. LightMachine can
be used in dozens of graphics applications including Photoshop,
Paint Shop Pro, IrfanView, Photoshop Elements, PhotoImpact, Photo
-Paint and Fireworks. LightMachine can be applied to 8bit and
16bit RGB images.
