Preserving Raw Images

Bibble treats the raw image files downloaded from the camera as digital negatives. Like actual negatives, the raw image is the starting point for generating a printable image file. Regardless of the processing steps applied to the image, the raw image itself is never altered.

When you edit a raw image, Bibble applies the changes as you make them on-screen so that you can see how multiple alterations interact with each other. Bibble writes the changes to an internal database file, and it applies the changes only when you process the raw image. There is no need to save the changes you make to a raw image file. Edits are saved automatically to the database file.

Working with Multiple Images

One powerful Bibble feature is that it enables you to edit and process multiple images simultaneously. You can apply settings such as color hue and saturation, white balance, contrast, exposure, and crop ratio to a group of images, and then add the group of images to a batch queue for processing.

Processing Raw Images into Supported File Types

Bibble lets you define batch queues that process raw images, applying all the edits you have made to the original image. When Bibble batch processes images, it generates new image files in one of the following supported file types for all the images you add to the batch queue:

• | JPEG

• | TIFF (8 bit)

• | TIFF (16 bit)

• | PNG (8 bit)

• | PNG (16 bit)

Once batch processing is initiated, Bibble applies the edits and generates a new image in the specified file type, leaving the raw image untouched.
