Bibble Pro 4.9.5 lets you improve the quality of RAW images shot using over 100 different digital cameras.

 

Pro photographers - and protographrs who want to shoot pro-quality images - know that shooting in RAW format provides the best images possible by allowing for a great deal of flexibility in processing those images using the power of their Macs and the controls offered by such powerful software as Bibble Pro 4.9.5 from Bibble Labs.

 

Download a trial copy of Bibble Pro 4.9.5 from www.bibblelabs.com, then follow along in this tutorial to learn how easy it is to get total control over your digital images.

 

Step 1: Jump into the Queue

 

By default, Bibble Pro includes six processing presets, from full-size TIFFs to small JPEGs for emailing. To find these settings, click the Batch Queues tab on the far left side of the workspace. Double-click any of the queue presets, and in the resulting dialog, click Settings. A new dialog will open up that contains the settings for the particular queue you've selected, and you can edit those settings if you choose.

 

Choose your file size and type based on what you plan to do with the images after they're processed.

 


Step 2: Create Your Own Preset

 

Rather than edit one of the preexisting queues, it makes more sense to create a new preset if none of the originals meet your needs. To do this, right-click (or Control-click) anywhere in the Batch Queues tab, and choose New. A dialog will open that allows you to create and save settings for a new preset.

 

Set up a custom preset according to your project needs.

 

 

Step 3: Start Processing

 

Now that you've set up presets to your exact specs, it's time to process your images. First select the preset you want Bibble Pro to use. Second, select the images you want to batch process and then click on the Send To Batch (Ins) icon (a cog with a plus sign) on the toolbar at the top of the workspace. You'll be asked to choose a location to save your files to.

 

 

Step 4: Opt for Background Processing

 

Step 3 works great for batch processing, but some photographers really like the ability to tweak an image, send it off to be processed in the background, and continue tweaking the next image. To do this, select the image you've just processed, and then hit the shortcut key for the queue preset of your choice. The shortcut key for each preset is listed next to that preset on the Batch Queues tab. Now you can continue tweaking and sending images to be processed one at a time.
