mboerma Posted December 30, 2009 Share #1 Posted December 30, 2009 Advertisement (gone after registration) I did use this program a lot but I has taken them so long to come up with a new version which could compete with Aperture and Lightroom. Now it is finally here: Bibble Labs - Professional Photo Workflow Software I haven't been able to really try it yet but I hope other people give it a spin as well so we can see if this is another tool which we should add to our arsenal. No Leica M8 of M9 support at this time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Advertisement Posted December 30, 2009 Posted December 30, 2009 Hi mboerma, Take a look here Bibble 5 finally available. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
horosu Posted December 30, 2009 Share #2 Posted December 30, 2009 These guys have made a pledge, apparently, to not support DNG, so it is really of no use to me. I use RAW Photo Processor (MAc only), IMHO the best processor avaiable, and import the files into Lightroom. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wlaidlaw Posted December 30, 2009 Share #3 Posted December 30, 2009 These guys have made a pledge, apparently, to not support DNG, so it is really of no use to me. I use RAW Photo Processor (MAc only), IMHO the best processor avaiable, and import the files into Lightroom. Why on earth would Bibble pledge not to support DNG's - sounds like cutting their own throat to me. Anyway I think they have already broken their pledge - doesn't the Digilux 3 use a weird version of DNG. With Aperture falling behind at the moment, LR3 and C1 V5 will probably hoover up 80%+ of the RAW/DNG converter market between them. They will then be able to afford more R&D and so produce an even better product until they are as dominant as Photoshop CS and Elements are today. I like the workflow in LR3 beta (a significant improvement in the interface from LR2) but the more I get the hang of the skin tones tool in C1 V5 Pro, the cleverer I realise it is. I have used Capture One for a long time and have become fairly used to its somewhat idiosyncratic workflow. The new sessions arrangement in V5 Pro is taking a bit of getting used to. It has the unfortunate habit of losing the preview thumbnail display colour profile, so if you don't remember to re-select it for each session, you get screeds of thumbnail error messages. I have told Jakub at Phase One about this and I hope it will be sorted in the next update. You should be able to set your monitor profile as the default thumbnail display profile and this would remain active until you changed it.

thrice Posted December 31, 2009 Share #4 Posted December 31, 2009 Argh I used to use bibble on Canon but have been using C1 and LR3beta with my M9 (first digital Leica). I was very excited about going back and using bibble especially because it's available for Linux but this is a deal breaker for me. Dead set I would have bought Bibble 5 pro but obviously they don't want my money. Keep your political squabbles to yourselves Bibble and provide customers with what they want/need. Really immature stand-point of theirs if you ask me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
oronet commander Posted December 31, 2009 Share #5 Posted December 31, 2009 I've tried their demo this morning and 1) DNGs are not imported indeed and 2) the user interface is as awful as ever. A pity, since it's quite fast and complete, and the layer tools work pretty well Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mboerma Posted December 31, 2009 Author Share #6 Posted December 31, 2009 I've tried their demo this morning and 1) DNGs are not imported indeed and 2) the user interface is as awful as ever. A pity, since it's quite fast and complete, and the layer tools work pretty well I think the interface has improved a lot since version 4 (I'm on Mac), but their "problem" is that they try to please all the OS's (Windows, Linux, Mac) which leaves them with less then optimal GUI components to work with. Regarding Leica support: On their support fora they do have a section for Leica. Hopefullly they are working on better support for DNGs. support.bibblelabs.com - Index page Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really immature stand-point of theirs if you ask me. Daniel, based on my experience, so far DNG isn't either supported natively on Linux. The only ways I found to work on Leica RAW files are RawTherapee and Lightzone. Both closed source, donationware the first, commercial licensed the latter. And if you want a decent picture viewer that shows either jpg and raw files I found a fine solution to be FastStoneImage Viewer on top of Wine.
