Bibble can ease the process of transitioning to Bibble from Pixmantec RawShooter | Premium (RSP) or RawShooter | Essentials (RSE) by importing settings for files you have edited already in RSP or RSE. Currently, Bibble only imports a basic group of settings, but the list of imported settings may expand in future releases. If multiple snapshots were found in the RSP settings files, Bibble will only import settings for the first snapshot.

If you have not used RSP or RSE, these preferences will not be used.

About RawShooter Settings Import

When enabled, Bibble will import RSP or RSE settings for new images (those that have not yet been adjusted in Bibble). If an image already has Bibble settings (pencil icon), then Bibble will not erase these settings to import previous RawShooter settings.

To enable RawShooter settings import, check the "Attempt to Import RawShooter settings" box on the Raw Shooter Import tab of the Preferences Tool.

About RawShooter Priority Setting

In RSP and RSE, you were able to assign a "priority" from 0 to 3 to your images. Some photographers used Priority 1 to mean the highest priority (or their best images) and others used Priority more like traditional ratings, where higher is better. Bibble allows you to determine which usage model you were using, to allow Bibble to correctly import those settings.

If you used RSP Priority much like a traditional 5-Star rating system, you should import these as follows:

• | RSP Priority 1 becomes Bibble 1 Star Rating

• | RSP Priority 2 becomes Bibble 2 Star Rating

• | RSP Priority 3 becomes Bibble 3 Star Rating

Because Bibble offers 0 through 5 stars, you may also choose to import your RSP Priority settings as below:

• | RSP Priority 1 becomes Bibble 1 Star Rating

• | RSP Priority 2 becomes Bibble 3 Star Rating

• | RSP Priority 3 becomes Bibble 5 Star Rating

If you used Priority 1 on your best images, Priority 2 for "next best" and Priority 3 for "good", you could choose to have Bibble import these settings as follows:

• | RSP Priority 1 becomes Bibble 5 Star Rating

• | RSP Priority 2 becomes Bibble 3 Star Rating

• | RSP Priority 3 becomes Bibble 1 Star Rating

About Other RawShooter Settings

Bibble only imports settings that have a one-to-one relationship with Bibble settings. Currently, this includes:

• | Priority

• | Flag

• | Exposure (setting taken from first snapshot, if multiple RawShooter snapshots were present)

• | Rotation

• | Orientation

Some RawShooter settings appear similar to those in Bibble, but because of the way the two programs operate, cannot easily be imported. Settings such a crop and white balance are examples.
