Plug-ins provide additional functionality to the host application, such as reading and performing operations on unsupported file types. Bibble opens several raw image file types that PhotoShop does not support. Bibble's Photoshop Plug-in lets you work in PhotoShop, and then when you encounter a file type that Photoshop doesn't support, it automatically launches Bibble to open and process the unsupported file.

By default, the Bibble Photoshop Plug-in reads all supported raw file types. However, if you work with only a few file types, you might want to configure the plug-in so that it reads only the file types you use.

To set the specific file types that PhotoShop will open using Bibble :

1. | From the File menu, click Preferences.

2. | In the left panel, click Photoshop Plug-in.

3. | Under Photoshop Plug-in, click Specified types.

4. | In the list of file types, click the check box next to the file types you want the Photoshop Plug-in to read.

The Photoshop Plug-in preferences also enable you to specify the bit depth of the files. Bit depth specifies how much color information is available to print or display individual pixels in an image. A bit depth of 8 bits provides 256 possible color values per color channel (Red, Green, and Blue), while a bit depth of 16 bits provides over 65,000 possible color values per color channel. Some Photoshop tools and filters are only enabled on 8-bit files.

To set the bit depth and specify whether you want the plug-in to convert the bit depth when opening the file:

1.

Click the Adjust when opening check box to turn on (or off) adjustments when opening RAW files. Without Adjustments means that Bibble will open and convert the RAW file without opening the User Interface for the Bibble plug-in, so the default image settings or settings previously made in the Bibble application will be applied. Enabling Adjust when opening will open the Bibble application and allows adjustments of the image settings from within the Bibble plug-in.

2. | In the Bit depth field, open the drop-down menu and select the bit depth that you want to set for the files opened using the Bibble Photoshop Plug-in.

Bibble Pro Only The 16-bit option is available only in the Bibble Pro version
