Status på Bibble 5
Bibble 5 har været længe undervejs og vi er nogen stykker der glæder os helt tosset. Det blev annonceret at det ville blive udgivet i 4. kvartal 2008, men ak... Se hvad der kom i min mail:
Hello Bibble Friends and Customers,
As you likely know, we've been working on our next generation Photographic Workflow application Bibble 5 for a while, and have stated that we would make it available in Q4 2008. With 2008 quickly drawing to a close and the holiday season now upon us, it has become apparent that we will not be able to live up to that goal.
As such, we will not be releasing Bibble 5 this year. We know this information will disappoint many of you. Please understand it disappoints us a great deal as well. Bibble 5 is a very important product for us, and one of our most important commitments to you is to make sure it is of the highest quality when it is released. Bibble 5 is a revolutionary product in a lot of ways and includes many capabilities not seen before in a program of its type. As we’ve come down to the wire, we’ve run into a few unexpected problems which has cost us a little time. Please know that all of us here at the Labs are working our tails off in order to get Bibble 5 into your hands as quickly as possible.
So, where do we go from here? We’ve heard your feedback over the previous few months, and one thing we hear loud and clear is your desire for us to share more information about what is going on with Bibble 5’s development. To that end, we will endeavor to answer as many questions and to provide as much detail as we can about what Bibble 5 will include. We will post additional videos showing the editing tools, asset management framework and other capabilities of B5, and we will commit to continuing to listen to your feedback and to completing Bibble 5 in as rapid a time frame as possible, without choosing schedule over quality.
We will also commit to deliver a public preview version of Bibble 5 no later than the end of January 2009.
While we know many of you will be upset with this news, we also know how excited you will be when you can actually use B5. As those of you who have seen it in action know, Bibble 5 raises the bar in just about every aspect of photo workflow software and will provide many new possibilities for improved creativity and productivity in your workflow. We know this delay will cause some of you to move on, but for those of you who stick around, we are confident that you will agree that the wait was well worth it.
As always, thanks for your support, and have a great holiday and new year.
-The Bibble Team
Nitte at vi ikke får Bibble 5 lige nu, men HVOR SEJT at der snart kommer en beta-trial-ting der kan downloades! UH jeg kan ikke vente! Hvis du ikke helt forstår min begejstring, så kig lige her.
Ny Flickr-gruppe!
Som jeg har nævt ca. 1600 gange, så bruger jeg Bibble til at lave mine billeder. Skyder dem i RAW, læser dem ind i Bibble, laver hvad der nu skal laves, spytter en jpg ud og smider den på flickr. Det er ca. sådan det foregår for langt de fleste af mine billeder. Bibble er en RAW-converter som f.eks. Adobe Lightroom, og altså ikke en full-blown foto-editor som Photoshop. Jeg kan dog som sagt lave langt det meste af det jeg skal deri - resten laver jeg i The Gimp. "Jamen hvorfor bruger du ikke Photoshop?" To grunde: 1) Det er noget fandens bøvl at få til at køre i Ubuntu Linux som jeg har valgt frem for Windows. 2) Hvis jeg havde 6.000 kroner var de gået til nyt glas i stedet for software. Uden tvivl.
Men nu til sagen: Der findes flere plugins til Bibble, mange af dem skrevet af samme mand, Sean M Puckett. Det klart bedste (i mine øjne) han har kreeret er Andy. Andy er navnet på et plugin der konverterer dine billeder til sort/hvid, men ikke bare ved at fjerne farverne... Du vælger simpelthen en type s/h film (f.eks. Adox KB50) med alle dens forskellige karakteristika som f.eks. kontrast, skarphed, gryn osv. Den sætter du sammen med en type papir, f.eks. Forte Fortezo og bang - du har et sort/hvidt billede der faktisk ligner et gammelt sort/hvidt foto. Der er naturligvis 1200 parametre du kan stille på og du kan endda skyde farve tilbage i billedet, men beholde kontrast osv fra din valgte film/papir kombination, som jeg har gjort her.
Der er andre Andy-fans end mig (tror jeg da nok...) derude i verden, så jeg har lavet en flickr-gruppe kun til billeder lavet med Bibble/Andy kombinationen. Hvis du ikke allerede har prøvet Bibble så hent en gratis prøve lige her, grund-udgaven af Andy plugin'et følger med. Den fulde version af Andy Pro kan du købe her - for 20$ er det simpelthen et røverkøb!
Hard at work
I dag på jobbet fik jeg lige en idé til et billede... her er den så:
Tror der skal arbejdes lidt mere på selve udførelsen, men jeg kan nu meget godt lide resultatet
Skudt med mit 40D m. 50mm F/1.4 v. F/4.5, 2,5 sekunders lukkertid. BibblePro m. AndyPro plugin.
En gammel pipfugl…
Næh hov... jeg fik endelig samlet mig om at lave samme filstruktur på min laptop og min stationære og faldt i den forbindelse over et skud fra sidste år hvor jeg havde leget lidt med en ramme. Hvad siger I til det?

Billedet lavet i BibblePro med MattyPro plugin.
