Bibble Labs have today announced the immediate availability of Bibble Pro
and Bibble Lite. Version 4.10 adds support for eight of the newest digital
SLR's: Nikon D60, Canon Digital Rebel XSi (450D), Sony a200, a300, and a350,
Pentax K20D and K200D, and Olympus E-420. This update also adds lens
calibration data for 14 new lenses and fixes several minor issues found in
previous releases. Version 4.10 is the last planned update to Bibble Lite
and Bibble Pro before the launch of Bibble 5.
Since the release of version 4.0 over three years ago, Bibble users have
received over a dozen free updates. Many of these upgrades added major new
features like digital noise reduction powered by Noise Ninja technology,
Perfectly Clear One-Touch image optimiser, a RAW-level plug-in interface
(with plugins available for watermarking, image framing, B&W film
simulation, image toning, Zone System control, perspective correction,
graduated neutral density and graduated colour filter simulation, selective
defocus and many more), automatic lens distortion correction and speed
increases. "With RAW Power, RAW Speed, RAW Quality as Bibble Labs' core
principles, each update and improvement has been designed with these goals
in mind." says Eric Hyman, President and CEO of Bibble Labs. As announced
last year,customers who purchase version 4.10 will receive a free upgrade to
Bibble 5 when it becomes available.
"Incorporating feedback from thousands of photographers, Bibble 5 will set
new benchmarks for ease of use and speed in the realm of photographic
workflow software," continues Hyman. "Working in a familiar, yet fresh
interface, users of Bibble 5 will be able to obtain the highest quality
output from their photos, utilising a rich and mature suite of editing tools
that provide an unmatched level of control. Fully utilising today's
multi-core computers, Bibble 5 will push the envelope of image processing
speed to levels well beyond any other competing application."
Availability:
Bibble 4.10 is available in both Pro ($129.95) and Lite ($69.95) versions
for Windows, Macintosh (PPC/Intel as a Universal Binary) and Linux.
New licensees of Bibble will also receive a free upgrade to Bibble 5, once
available later this year.
