I think it looks quite promising, if these images were just bibble
without any additional processing. I see no area where the bibble
output falls down. What do you think?
And you did a good job of returning contrast into the pic. I would
point out one thing though about sharpness. People seem to often
confuse sharpness w/ resolution/detail. And I think that's
probably what happened here. Sharpness as we normally see it is a
matter perception. It doesn't necessarily say too much about
resolution. In fact, a picture can look very sharp and actually
have
less resolution/detail. Indeed, sharpness is closely tied
to contrast, and that's probably why your contrast adjustment
brought out the sharpness in the Bibble processed pic.
Anyway, again, looks good to me. I do hope that this is a big step
in the right direction toward resolving this issue. Maybe I should
just go buy a copy of Bibble when it comes out (for the D70) just
to support their efforts and help push Nikon, et al along, if
nobody else resolves the issue soon enough. Is the latest version
of Bibble the same one reviewed at Thom Hogan's site? He gave
Bibble a poor rating, but it looked like he reviewed an old version
though.
And thanks for the efforts and always keeping a balanced view
around here.
Best regards,
Man
