PMA 2006 Orlando, FL (10.00 am EST. February 24th, 2006) - Bibble Labs, Inc. announced today the immediate availability of version 4.6 of its popular Raw Workflow software. Bibble 4.6 offers a major breakthrough via the direct integration of Noise Ninja Technology from Picture Code, LLC.
High ISO noise and digital artifacts are one of the more challenging aspects of today's digital workflow. Historically photographers have had to use 3rd party tools and extra post processing steps to deal with this noise "After the fact". By directly merging Noise Ninja technology into Bibble's already blazing fast workflow, better results can now be achieved in shorter amounts of time.
"Many folks don't realize that the actual process of `converting' a raw file from its original form to another format can actually accentuate the noise present in the file" says Eric Hyman, president and CEO of Bibble Labs. "By integrating Noise Ninja technology into the earliest part of our raw conversion pipeline, not only can we more effectively eliminate noise, but we can prevent it from being exaggerated down stream by actions such as capture sharpening. This produces cleaner files and better details without the `plastic effect' that other raw software can produce".
Version 4.6 now runs natively on Intel based Macintoshs. Previously Bibble had offered the fastest raw workflow available on PPC based Macintosh. Now this same speed is available to users of the new Intel Mac. Bibble's inherent speed advantage coupled with the new machine's boosted speed makes for unmatched performance when converting raw files.
Further improvements include a revised and simpler user interface that retains Bibble's existing configurability while offering a more intuitive interface on first use. Users of Canon cameras will also be please to find that while Bibble is already the fastest way to convert their files, it now is 1-2 seconds faster per file. Batches that might take hours using other software can be done in minutes with Bibble.
Bibble 4.6 is a free update for all existing licensees of previous version of Bibble 4. "We believe in providing exceptional value to our customers." says Hyman "While we could easily have made our new `Noise Engine' a separate add on product and charged an additional fee for it, we feel that would confuse our customers. Including it as part of the core package at a reasonable price is the right thing to do."
Bibble supports over 70 of the most popular DSLR and Prosumer cameras. Other key features include best in class speed, a free lens distortion correction plug-in, highlight recovery, shadow fill light, built-in Photoshop Plug-in, arbitrary rotation, curves , levels, tethered shooting and much much more.
