RAW file conversion

Noise Ninja may not be quite as advanced as Lightroom3's but it does an excellent job most of the time. I shoot a lot in less than ideal light, and so far I'm quite happy with this application.

I was really quite a bit more impressed with biible than I thought I'd be. Since I already own Adobe Bridge and Lightroom3 as well as Aperture3 I wasn't really fishing for another digital asset management application, but Bibble's RAW conversion, especially for brands other than Nikon/Canon is VERY impressive!

It's hard to find a suitable RAW workflow program that just works. I mainly use the Linux operating system so finding one at all is challenging, but Bibble v4 fit the bill nicely. It works in Windows, Mac and Linux and at a price of $129 for the PRO version it is hundreds cheaper than C1 PRO or Photoshop CS. If it supports your camera you can't go wrong with this software. It's workflow features are great and I have only begun to tap every one. I like the fact it can export directories or images I choice to either tiff, jpeg web gallery, or any Batch Queue that I can setup. With the Work Queue I run my images through any number of batch changes and even print a contact sheet at the end of it. It's file browser makes it easy to find things and shows images instantly via caching. Tools like Curves, White Balance, Exposure, Levels, Sharpening, Noise, Rotating, etc. are easily accessible in windows or docked in the toolbar. So far it is proving to be a good asset in my photography workflow.w
