The software, available for Mac and Linux as well as Windows, will cost $99 or $79 for existing Bibble 5, PaintShop Pro X2, Lightroom or Aperture customers. A free trial is available from Corel's website.

Eric Hyman, author of the RAW converison application Bibble has today announced the release of a whole new version of Bibble, 2002 3.0. This new version has a completely re-designed user interface, higher speed, support for more cameras (although not yet the EOS-1D and EOS-D60). Bibble also now has "Kodak Color", to quote, "Through a partnership with Kodak, Bibble now uses Kodak Digital Science software for its internal color engine and profile generation, Thus bringing Kodak Color to All users of Bibble no matter what camera they shoot."
Eric Hyman has just posted Bibble version 2.99 which can now decode .CRW (Canon RAW - EOS-D30), .NEF (D1 / D1X) and JPEG files. Bibble now features a new engine which is sharper and faster than before, it has a new demosaicing feature which produces sharper images without producing the tell-tail colour mosaic. The other big thing about version 2.99 is support for D1X RAW files including a special 10 megapixel output size (4024 x 2624).
Eric Hyman is the first developer to have cracked Canon's new compressed RAW format and Bibble 2.5 now offers Canon EOS-D30 owners a real opportunity for the improved flexibility, image quality and speed that it can offer in the RAW conversion process. Having had a few days to digest Bibble 2.5 we've put together a couple of samples comparing native JPEG, Bibble converted and Canon converted RAW files.
I've
had my eye on Bibble for a while, now it's gone version 1 I thought I'd
bring it to the attention of any D1 owners out there. Eric Hyman wrote Bibble
to explore the 16-bit .NEF RAW image format from the Nikon D1 (and to save
money on having to buy Nikon's Capture software), he's progressed it to
an amazing level, it'll now browse and import .NEF files straight into Photoshop,
it'll also do conversions, magenta fix, batch conversions and extract EXIF
exposure information. (It's even claimed to give better colour reproduction
than Nikon Capture!)
