Seems to be a habit of Corel http://www.macnn.com/articles/12/08/31/users.asked.to.switch.to.corels.pinnacle.studio/ (having said that they just released 'Pinnacle Studio', currently free, for iPad and it actually looks pretty good)

Yes they did similar stuff when they purchased PaintShopPro, Wordperfect Office, and other softwares. They buy a fairly good product then sell it to death at a low price but only bug fix never enhancing the product!

The original Bibble forum is almost dead, I can't find any current info, what happened to all the dedicated users?

The Bibble user forum still exists but has little utility and use as the Corel product ASP had updates to the SDK which is used for all the plugins so these had to be reworked to work with ASP. The users are all on the new Corel forums.

There are those who are stuck in disbelief and there are those in another camp which contains myself who would like to get hold of the code from Corel and make it open source. At this stage there is much gloom, doom and uncertainty as well as no clear plan. The next few months will see the code die in Corel's hands or get extracted and reused. I have a backup plan which is to use Phase One Capture One until I have a decent second string product (probably RAW Photo Processor and/or DCRAW as my second string RAW processor). If we get the code from Corel then great but I wont be holding my breath.

I'm hard pressed not to double check the posting date to make sure that the whole thing is not an April Fool's joke but I'm disappointed. That said I'm not surprised too because I also had a very bad experience in getting my free copy of ASP from Corel (I think I mentioned about that in the old forum?) like Ed did. A few months ago I came across braindistrict.com, a site founded by the creator of MainActor, Markus, who says he'll build a new MainActor using the old code. I wonder if Eric Hyman still has the right to use the B4 code? Probably it'd be way cheaper to get the old code from him rather than buying the B5 code from Corel. In fact I think B4 is good enough in most occasions though it requires extensive update to support new cameras.

Peter, unfortunately not an April Fool joke!! I hadnt thought of the B4 angle. I guess that Eric still has a copy of that code. Corel may or may not of purchased rights to that source. I might send Eric an email and ask the question. Unfortunately Bibble5 is a complete redesign from the ground up so all the nice plugins we have developed wont work!

JK and all There does seem to be a new kid in town. Noise Ninja has just launched PhotoNinja as a raw conversion programme. I have played with it bit today. It seems to do fantastic out of the box RAW conversions using presets (tested with D4, D800E and S2 files). The output is definitely better than the defaults in LR4 and have the vibrance (and speed of conversion) that Bibble users had grown used to. Possibly even better than Bibble :negativenod::negativenod: There seems to be no batch mode at the moment. Image attached is cropped (in PhotoNinja), rendered to JPG at high (lower res than "very high" and "maximum") and 72 dpi, all others at presents for the camera (D4) and lense (Sigma 180 Macro 3.5). I am more than a little impressed. Of course, LR4 is still the archiving and management programme to use) Unless anyone knows anything better? Ed Attachment: D42_0037_v1.JPG (Downloaded 14 times)
