LightZone

LightZone (http://lightzoneproject.org/) is a wannabe LightRoom alternative, i.e., a non-destructive photo editor that went from being a commercial product to free OSS (for more info, check http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LightZone). I suspect LightZone is dependent on Java, so portability shouldn't be difficult to achieve via the usual methods (e.g., jportable) but I haven't tested it... Free registration at the homepage is required for downloading.
LightZone latest release (currently v4.1.5, dated 2016-01-10) can be downloaded from http://lightzoneproject.org/, after registration.
http://lightzoneproject.org/content/about wrote:LightZone is professional-level digital darkroom software for Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux, that includes RAW processing and editing. Rather than using layers in the way that other photo editors do, LightZone lets the user build up a stack of tools which can be rearranged, readjusted, turned off and on, and removed from the stack. It's a completely non-destructive editor, where any of the tools can be re-adjusted or modified later -- even in a different editing session. A tool stack can even be copied to a batch of photos at one time. LightZone always operates in a 16-bit linear color space with the wide gamut of ProPhoto RGB.
