Great disappointment, today! After such a long wait, Bibblelabs finally released a beta version of Bibble 5. This, in a effort to keep all the current B4 users (including me) happy, because they weren't capable of releasing the final version at the end of last year. Which initially was promised.

Well, I downloaded it, started B5 up(within a blink of a eye), navigated to my PEF folder and..........Nothing!!
To my horror I have to read on their forum the beta version does not support Pentax Raw Files.
Only The Big 3 plus some Oly's are supported, for now
Bummer!

Martin.
Best regards,

Martin.

What about DNG files?

Nope. It's such a pita. The program looks so promising. I just have to wait, for the final release, if it ever hits the market, that is.

Martin,

it seems it's time you came over to the sunny side of the street. Just give SilkyPix a go
Get out of the shadow, you know you want to.
And then you could wait for v4 together with us SilkyPix fans...

Bibble used to be a one man business. If it still is, it's not surprising that development is slow and he can't keep up with RAW formats. From what I saw it looks a good program and if one person is still developing it at least he knows it inside out and what direction it's going in. You just have to wait a bit longer that's all. Nothing worse than new programmers coming in and cocking up a good program.

Bibble is the name of his cat.

Which just begs the question, why did s/he call his/her cat bibble?

Lots of film bodies, a couple of digital ones, too many lenses (mainly older glass) and a Horseman LE 5x4.

I have SPDS 3, but I just don't get used to that lousy GUI. It's just not logic IMHO.

They are no longer a one man business. But Eric Heyman is known for his stubbornness. He just wants to deliver a bug free, fully operational program. And that takes time, and a lot of disappointed customers.
Oh....B4 fully supports all PEF files on the market.

Probably because " Womble" was already taken.

I have lots of raw converters
Capture One is quite logical, and Lightroom has a very nice GUI which is logical... but the image quality SPDS3 beats Lightroom by a looooong way (especially in high ISO images), and Capture One by a significant margin

Personally, I'm happy to put up with the GUI issues of SPDS3 for the sake of image quality
