September 22, 2006: Bibble Labs has released version 4.9 of its Bibble Pro and Bibble Lite raw file conversion software, adding Clone and Spot Healing tools, sensor defect correction, image rating and support for the latest cameras.
Provided as a free upgrade download for all current Bibble 4 customers, version 4.9 adds support for the Canon EOS 400D, Nikon D80 and Sony Alpha 100 DSLR cameras and goes a long way towards providing photographers who record raw files with a single tool for all digital darkroom needs. Users of the recently discontinued Raw Shooter Professional will be pleased to find an included importer for moving their ratings and other simple settings into Bibble. Bibble is available in both “Pro” ($US129.95) and “Lite” ($US69.95) versions for Windows, Macintosh (PPC/Intel as a Universal Binary) and Linux. Visit http://www.bibblelabs.com for further details and to download a fully functional 14 day trial version.
Bibble Labs also officially announces the development of Bibble 5.0, planned to be the company’s next major release. Bibble 5 is based upon 2 years of customer feedback from Bibble 4 and improves upon all aspects of the program, including workflow, speed, and image quality. Bibble 5 will support all current operating systems and platforms as well as 64-bit operating systems. Specific details regarding cost, availability and upgrade options will be announced at a later date. However anyone who purchases Bibble 4.9 will receive a free upgrade to Bibble 5 when it is released, even though Bibble 5 is expected to be offered at a higher price than Bibble 4.
