Bibble Labs - Professional Photo-Manipulation Software

Bibble Labs - Professional Photo-Manipulation Software - This application is great for raw images. The interface and docking of tools is not so good, but the effect of the tools is very good. It is very easy to to get the exact picture that I wanted when I shot the picture. It quickly applies the changes so you can see them. Then it saves the changes as a file that links to the picture, so I can come back and do more editing later. You can adjust one picture and then copy the adjustments to the rest of them in a series. This makes the processing go very quickly. Then you can output them to tif, jpg or png in the size that you want.

I've also found it to be useful with jpg images. I can correct images from the camera with photographic style controls. It is very quick and easy to increase exposure by 1/2 a stop on a couple of underexposed photos or add some fill light. I can do this Paint Shop Pro, but it doesn't use the photo idiom of exposure stops. I know that I can go more than a stop before I have other problems with the picture, so I found it much more intuitive than the arbitrary seeming numbers of some other tools.
