Bibble Pro 4.9 (Win/Mac/Linux)

Please note that only version 4.10 (not 4.9) includes a free upgrade 2 the new Bibble Pro version 5. This is a major upgrade of Bibble Pro.

I love the program. It makes photoshop almost unnecessary 4 a lot of my photos & it's very fast because you don't have 2 keep opening & saving. It's easy 2 copy settings from one photo 2 another. HOWEVER, I cannot get any minor problems addressed by the company. I waited 10 days 4 them 2 respond 2 an email about an installation issue, & they only responded because I threatened 2 start writing reviews. I am now waiting 4 days 4 a followup. I can't get into their forums because they won't recognize me as a customer so I can't get advice that way. I also find the interface confusing but I'm hoping they fix that in version 5. In the meantime, unless you're confident you can figure anything out on your own, BEWARE.

I use Nikon Capture NX 2 1.34 AUTOMATICALLY remove chromatic abberation from from the raw Nikon .nef files. They are saved as 16 bit TIF files.
However Bibble Pro 4 cannot read TIF files, but ironically it can save as TIF files.
I'm still buying this program shortly as Bibble 5 is expected 2 be able 2 read 16 bit TIF files, & will be a free upgrade. Bibble 5 will cost more too.
I love its AUTOMATED Perfectly Clear feature & its tight integration 2 Noise Ninja - all run in batch mode. This work flow produces the best picture quality with the least fuss.

I purchased Bibble Pro in hopes it would make taking product shots 4 our mail order business a little easier. I was mainly interested in the tethering option. I found the provided instruction manual lacks all information on tethering & the tutorials, although helpful did not cover this ether.
With the help of online fourms & a few hours of dabbling I was able 2 get it 2 work. It's not hard 2 do once you get the needed help. It seems 2 me the manual should have addressed tethering, that would have been helpful.

Over all I like the program & would recommend it 4 easy 2 use & powerful batch processing. After getting Bibble I started shooting in RAW full time because it's easy 2 view, correct, & convert 2 jpg, tiff , ect...
After a couple of product shot sessions I'm finding I do save time with Bibble Pro tethered 2 my Nikon D80, I wouldn't give it up. The basic tools are easy 2 use & work well.

Good..but the same as Bibble Light, unless you are batch processing. With a hefty additional price tag
