Bye-bye bibble?
I think I might give up on the Bibble 5 beta. Some bits work quite well, for example the camera image import and exposure tweaking stuff works well. Other things are clunky (for example image export has a weird and not very easy to use interface). The "final" straw though is the fact that you can tag images with keywords, and also modify them, but the keyword browser thing (the only way to select images by the keywords you associated with them) doesn't have the same idea about what keywords are in use as the rest of the program.
To be fair, this is only beta software. One should expect it to be broken. But Bibble 4 doesn't support my camera.
The trouble is, I don't know what I'll switch to. I do use GIMP, but importing large numbers of images, rating them and performing basic manipulations (e.g. same white balance for all of them) is cumbersome with GIMP; like Photoshop, it's intended to deal with individual images one at a time. Apart from that there's Rawstudio. I like it but there are a large number of missing features and it's quite a distance behind Bibble, let alone Lightroom.
So I might migrate to Lightroom. The only trouble is, I don't know how I'll run it since its only supported platforms are Windows and Mac OS. I don't have a computer that runs either of those.
