September 16, 2008: Bibble Labs will introduce its latest raw file conversion application, Bibble 5, at Photokina on 23 September.
The culmination of years of development, Bibble 5 draws on Bibble Labs’ eight-year heritage as a leading developer of photographic workflow and RAW conversion software. Bibble 5 improves upon all aspects of photographic workflow, offering finer control over image quality and adjustments, huge speed gains, and flexible workflow and usability. Overall application responsiveness and real-time editing are essentially unaffected by background operations like importing or exporting, so photographers can multi-task and work quickly through thousands of photos. Bibble 5 also takes full advantage of multi-core and multi-CPU computers to provide huge speed gains and also works up to twice as fast as Bibble 4 on less powerful computers and laptops.
New selective editing functions allow photographers to selectively apply image adjustments with Bibble 5’s Layers & Regions control with support from a wide range of editing tools. Selective Editing is completely non-destructive while remaining tightly incorporated into a complete Bibble 5 workflow. The new application also includes an advanced and fast Digital Asset Management system to help photographers organise and catalog their work.
Bibble 5 Pro will be available in Q4 of 2008 at an initial price of US$199.95, and will continue to be offered for Windows, OSX, and Linux. Bibble version 4 will continue to be available until Bibble 5 is released and purchasers of Bibble 4 will receive a free upgrade to Bibble 5, when available. Visit http://newsletters.bibblelabs.com/lt.php?id=bBoNC1AMU1dJBAkaVQcDB1U%3D for further details and to download a fully functional 14 day trial version of Bibble 4. New licensees of Bibble 4 will receive a free upgrade to Bibble 5, once available.
