LightZone helps relighting images and panoramas

by Veit on 08/01/2009

One reason why I’m excited to have LightCrafts as our sponsor (see also our on-going contest!) for this month: I’ve been using LightZone in my own workflow for almost two years, often to relight my panorama images.

Just look at the panorama below: Sunrise in Bothin Marsh in December 2008. While setting up, there was a guy riding his bike on the bike path. I love to have some action in my panos, so I did not want to miss the opportunity. I snapped out a quick pano with the guy being in the first frame. Unfortunately, since the setup was not finished, I ended up with the image sequence being underexposed. What to do?

Rather than trying to fix this in Adobe Camera Raw one image at a time, I stitched the pano and used LightZone to relight the image, with very good results. That’s why I keep using it!

Fixing an underexposed panorama in LightZone via its Relight function is very easy. Right image is after stitching the panorama in Photoshop. Left image is after relighting in LightZone without any other adjustments.

Great deal from our new sponsor: LightCrafts

by Veit on 07/26/2009

We are very excited to announce that LightCrafts is sponsoring iPhonePhotoVideo.com during the month of August!

Why are we excited? I have been using LightZone, their photo editor for professional and serious hobby photographers, as part of my workflow for almost 2 years. While it has not replaced Photoshop as my everyday editor, I use it frequently for its excellent relighting capability on many of my images. Often, I also use Styles for applying certain image effects, such as high contrast or black&white.

If you are a more consumer-oriented photographer, you don’t need to feel left out. We have been a fan of LightCraft’s Aurora consumer photo editor ever since we first got our hands on it during its beta test. So give it a try!
