History
Versions for Windows, Mac OS X and Linux were available commercially. Although the Linux version was free of charge in earlier versions, its price was adapted with the 3.5 release.
In mid-September, 2011, the Light Crafts website went offline without notice. It is reported that Fabio Riccardi, founder of Light Crafts and the primary developer of LightZone, is now working as an Apple employee, as evidenced by his LinkedIn profile. The final version from Light Crafts was version 3.9, except for Mac OS X which had a bug-fix version 3.9.2. On-going LightZone support, including updates to let LightZone process Raw files from new camera models, is being provided by the volunteer LightZombie Project.
On 2012-12-22 the LightZombie domain was redirected to the new LightZoneProject.org site, and an announcement was made by Anton Kast (one of the original authors of LightZone) that they had negotiated to release the original LightZone source as free software.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“There is no example in history of a revolutionary movement involving such gigantic masses being so bloodless.”
—Leon Trotsky (1879–1940)
“Don’t you realize that this is a new empire? Why, folks, there’s never been anything like this since creation. Creation, huh, that took six days, this was done in one. History made in an hour. Why it’s a miracle out of the Old Testament!”
—Howard Estabrook (1884–1978)
“We know only a single science, the science of history. One can look at history from two sides and divide it into the history of nature and the history of men. However, the two sides are not to be divided off; as long as men exist the history of nature and the history of men are mutually conditioned.”
—Karl Marx (1818–1883)
