Sagelight 48-bit Image Editor

We`ve developed a lot of new technology for Sagelight that makes editing easy while keeping it simple and fast. Sagelight was written from scratch to take advantage of the speed and power of modern-day computers, as well as the specific needs of digital cameras. Realtime results. Sagelight was written from scratch, with core code written in SSE and MMX Assembly language. This means that Sagelight is extremely fast and responsive. In addition to exceptional speed, Sagelight also handles RAW files, highlight reduction, native 16-bits per-channel, Dynamic Masking, Smart Light, Photo Filter/Gradient, LAB/HSL functions, and many other advanced features not found in other editors. Sagelight is a low-cost alternative to other high-end, expensive editors. Many people compare Sagelight to Adobe Lightroom and Adobe Elements. We purposely try to keep the cost of Sagelight down so that everyone can enjoy image editing without spending a lot of money.
