Having followed Bibble for a few years and dabbled with using it I have to say I felt it was a good product which lacked the resources it needed.

It has a good and faithful following of discerning and expert users, in my opinion for delicate adjustments and a subtle adjustment tool I prefer it to anything else, particularly for IR work which I find hard in Ps.

I think it's disgusting that a company like Corel takes over a small but good specialised product like Bibble and effectively casts it aside like so much garbage.

I have never been a fan of Corel although I did use it Corel Draw the very early days to create graphics for 'in house' adverts for a betting shop chain when I used to build the odd PC for fun then I remembered why I used Mac's.

I was devastated when I first saw this thread, although to be honest not completely surprised. Very sad.

As for a Phoenix resurrection attempt I suspect it would be a money pit. Eric Hyman was I think the founder and driving force behind Bibble, a product like Bibble needs a driving force and without Eric who I believe retired from the company a couple of years ago and Jeff Stephens has negotiated the takeover by Corel to allow the product to move forward with more backing. That appears to have failed.
