Pros

Pro
Allows users to create and edit RAW profiles

Unlike most other RAW editors, LightZone supports user-created RAW profiles and allows editing existing RAW profiles.

Pro
Allows changing the order in which adjustments are applied

You can change in what order sharpening, saturation, tone, etc adjustments are applied simply by switching around their order in the tool stack.

Cons

Con
Asset management is basic

Browser module includes a file browser, metadata viewer and a really basic metadata editor (allows editing just 6 fields), and allows you to give images a rating, but no advanced asset management is supported. There's not even a way to assign keywords to files.
