The Bibble is our Sword. It is our weapon against things SEEN & UNSEEN. Use it when you need contrast and white balance. Quote the Bibble help page ou have memorized OUTLOUD. If you haven't memorized any Bibble help then write them down. Keepm them handy and read them OUTLOUD. If all else fails, just open your Bibble and press F1. Modified from Ephesias 6.

Not a christian myself, but the Bibble have help me a lot. The one with 2 Bs instead of just one. It's a third party software managed by BibbleLabs which is able to extract the White Balance reading from my Nikon D70s as well as the newer D50. Lucky me cause I've been looking for similar program to bring me up to another level instead on sticking with snapping JPEG files. The benifit of shooting RAW is that i don't have to consider about the White Balance while shooting, and there is a +/- 2EV tolerance in my exposure setting. Meaning to say, lighting consideration can be done on the computer after I've done capturing those photos at the comfort of my own home. Photoshop does have RAW converters, but because of legal issues, they don't have the permission to crack open NEF files from Nikon cameras.

Other than that, Bibble does batch processing. Meaning to say if the photos are all properly exposed and lighting is good, i could just let the software convert all those RAW files into JPEG or TIFF, in case i want to adjust the levels and curves in Photoshop later. Lossless compression is usually preferable when we are working with very minor details and wanting to make prints as large as 20" by 30".

Now that I've learnt about the power of RAW, i would hardly be taking much JPEG files unless if i'm on a week's holiday without a computer with me. Here's where to download http://www.bibblelabs.com/

But there's one problem also if you are running on slower PC. Currently I'm using a 3.0GHz Prescott with 1GB RAM, which i find still works pretty well with all my photography needs. With bibble under my arsenal, i've 4 programmes running to get a photo done:- Picture Project, Adobe Photoshop CS2, Neat Image v4, Bibble.

I think I did mentioned about Neat Image before, a software which does noise removal tool. Actually it's not nessesary to install that once i learn to do noise removal using either CS2 or Bibble, which both comes with Noise removal patch. Down side of this is that I'll be enjoying more sleepless nights understanding this new Bibble. Oh well, that's the fun of it isn't it? At least i learn something new rather than playing computer games, which I'm not good at.

Oh yeah, earlier i did mentioned about Microsoft's Acrylic Beta on July. That software has too much problems which haven't been fixed yet. But Bibble helps me get where I want, when I want. It's so good that I won't be needing Photoshop CS2 if I don't need to resize for web. Levels, Exposure, Noise reduction, Rotation and a lot more function is packed in Bibble v4.3a. I would happily pay for a copy of that if it's avaiable locally. Currently using it's 14 days trial.
