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.

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,

guesswork even more. ... It ... delivers on its promises.
