Oh, oh, I’m getting soooo excited! Bibble 5 from BibbleLabs is comming soon… – well… not that soon… 
There is a sneak peak page at BibbleLabs with screen shots!
It looks like the user interface will get much better, – it looks really similar to LightZone – and if you take closer view… we might even get versions?!
The other thing you can notice on the second screenshot is layers, select tool…
One plus screen shot in the forum…
I just can’t wait to put my hands on it.
Go Bibble, goooo!
I was really impatient to get hands on new BibblePro 4.9.9b release. The reason is it does support my new Nikon D300.
BibbleLabs did a fine tune. My RAW images loads fine, and everything works as expected.
Well, I’m still missing few things… Looks like some of them will be never ever a part of Bibble, but I’m optimistic… The list of things I’d like to have in Bibble (just major stuff):
- TIFF support! – Yeap, there are now TIFF “RAW images” right out of the camera…
No more excuses…
- Stacked (or layered) effects. – This goes hand-in-hand with history and undo.
- Tethered shooting under Linux too.
- Selection tool. – Rectangular, ecliptic at least, with new/add/subtract/intersect. Increase, decrease, … would be nice tool. – And applying effects on selection only…
- Fill and draw tool…
- …
Oups, looks like I’d like a Photoshop competitor… well, if I see the first two/three in the near future, that would be like being in heaven…
Just a minor note on PS: Photoshop… expensive, ouch. And it does not run on my favorite OS. Gimp stuck with 8bit, Pixel buggy as hell, Cinepaint – is it alive? So it looks like, for photo editing on Linux the only solutions is Krita. Krita is not bad, but it is a bit slow, and crashes some times… but another time on that topic.
Bibble rocks. Thanks!
