The 70 dollars for LightMachine
are a good investment ... LightMachine works with fine
adjustable masks that accurately seperate e.g. a dark
foreground from the background ... The considerable supply
of mask parameters compensates for ugly halos among other
things ...
Exposure Correction: Very Good
Usability: Very Good

Light Machine is the ultimate
Digital Dark Room Tool ... within the plugin you have
far more control than the usual photo correction programs...
I am amazed at the programmes ability to correct very
poor photos, but also apply artistic effects.

The Light Machine is a very handy
tool for adjusting a variety of elements, such as brightness,
contrast, saturation, colour replacement, and many other
required corrections, without consuming too much time.
... it has a very user friendly help feature, in which
wherever you run the mouse over, there is a dialogue box
which tells you what it is or how it works.

LightMachine is very interesting
because of the many options and possibilities... Working
with light and tone in this plugin leads to perfect results.
You can even achieve good results with photos that initially
appear to have no quality at all.

I used various filters from the
Plugin Site to process thousands of sports photos last
year. Color Washer, Focal Blade, and Light Machine are
very thoughtful designs (speaking as a software engineer),
and a good value. ...are actually small applications,
with good functionality and many useful features.

Lightmachine can help pull detail
out of shadow and tone down highlights, which it does
fairly well. ... It's fairly simple to use, even for beginners...
An Auto Mask feature takes out the guesswork even more.
... It ... delivers on its promises.

LightMachine works very effectively
... It has a full complement of presets, with some excellent
“pseudo HDR” effects. ... For those who want
to gain ultimate mastery over shadows, highlights, and
colors, this is definitely a plug-in worth trying. ...
It has
some clever masking options that allow you to separate
parts of the image for ndependent
processing.
