| Brenda 0.9 Freeware Released |
[Aug. 15th, 2008|12:59 pm] |
Freeware version of Brenda is now available for download.
The freeware version omits a few features but can still effect some amazing changes to your images.

The PRO version will be available later today and will cost $20.
I'm extremely pleased with how this tool came out. I see myself using it on every colour image I produce from here on out -- it's simple to use, and the results speak for themselves. Try the freeware and see if you agree -- the Pro version is even better. |

| DinkyPRO 0.95 Available! |
[May. 31st, 2008|01:42 pm] |
After well over a year in the making, DinkyPRO is now available. With four channels of adjustment (whereas Dinky freeware has just one), it is capable of amazing work. However, it is even more complex. It's not for the faint of heart, and not for those unwilling to be frustrated or confused. There is no "make image awesome" button in DinkyPRO -- it is a whole bunch of knobs and dials and tweaks. What you do with them is up to you.
This is my most expensive plug-in, at $25. It's also not documented except in the "tool-tips" that appear when you point the mouse at each control. I do hope to address that over time, but I can't guarantee when. I sincerely hope that DinkyPRO users will share techniques for creating interesting results.
Basically, then, if you understand what Dinky freeware does, DinkyPRO does that -- only much MORE. I'm crazy busy with an upcoming show but I did want to get this out. The 0.95 release means this is almost certainly final but if I need to make a tweak in the way something works (unlikely after this testing), it may break compatibility. It is, however, compatible with Dinky 0.8; settings should translate mostly intact.

I do have some more features I want to add including channel chaining and channel copy/paste, but those will have to wait until the summer.
Yes, this plug-in will be updated for B5. Current purchasers will receive a free update; after B5 is released, the price will almost certainly change.

| SharpiePRO 3.0 and Claire updates |
[Mar. 19th, 2008|12:01 pm] |
SharpiePRO has been updated to version 3.0 - free for registered users!
1. Smart sharpening. "Smart sharpening as offered here alters how much sharpening is applied to each pixel depending on its placement in the histogram and how it relates to pixels around it. Smart sharpening is very good at reducing the halo effects of traditional unsharp masking."
2. Two Enhancer modes. "The enhancer re-interprets camera sensor data based on a new algorithm for chromatic blending."
3. Per-camera defaults. "The camera defaults feature allows you to create capture sharpening defaults that are different for each camera you use."
4. Streamlined UI. There are now two master panels, with the most commonly used controls duplicated on a small Mini panel for a more compact integration with your tool panels.
5. More Blur options: Add & Subtract, for more specialized effects.
6. Speed. It's faster, but not much. Hey, any bit helps.
7. Vista installer included -- I fixed the batch file so it should work properly now. I tested it on both XP and Vista and it works a treat.
Also, Claire has been updated to include D50 lighting for the QPCard 201 - 1.0b now available for download. |

| PercyPRO 1.3 |
[Sep. 24th, 2007|11:31 am] |
I've uploaded version 1.3 of PercyPRO. This new version has better math for smoother corrections as well as an important new feature: Edge Mirroring.
With Mirror turned on, the formerly blank areas of rotated or perspective corrected images are filled in with reflected images, as if there were mirrors surrounding the original exposure. This helps fill in those blanks with useful data, and although it's not a panacea, it can help you get a little more crop out of an image without having an objectionable blank area.
Mirror also comes into play with perspective corrections, allowing interesting tiling effects that further extend Percy's experimental image possibilities.
I've also reduced the density of the grid lines, per a user request, so they're easier to see through. Note that you'll still want to turn off most forms of sharpening (including Sharpie) when the grid is enabled, otherwise the grid lines get sharpened, also, and that is pretty annoying.
This is also the first plug-in with a Vista-safe installation batch-file. Please let me know if it works/doesn't work for your Vista. If I get consistent reports of success, I'll update all the other installers.
Thanks for your continued support. I've got more updates and new tools on the way, and hope that Bibble's market share expands further! I'll be teaching some courses with it as a Workflow solution, so maybe there will be some new users from Canada in the next month orso.

| ClairePRO 1.0 Released |
[Jul. 9th, 2007|04:38 pm] |
Claire, my colour correction plug-in, is now available for purchase. Claire offers corrected colour based on location-shot reference images of grey/white cards, Gretag Macbeth ColorCheckers and/or QPcard 201 reference targets. Once the targets are identified by Claire, all shots made at the same time can be white balanced and colour corrected with no further tweaking required.
Learn more (demo video!) and purchase now!

| Claire enters beta |
[Jun. 28th, 2007|04:52 pm] |
Just a quick note that my latest plug-in is entering beta test. It should be available for purchase next week.
Claire allows you to use popular colour reference targets to colou rcorrect multiple images at once. Use a Gretag Macbeth ColorChecker or a QPcard 201 in a lighting reference shot, then use the correction values from that shot to fix an entire session in an instant. You can also use any white or grey reference card to do simple white correction.
Learn more!

| Updates |
[Jun. 11th, 2007|03:02 pm] |
AndyPRO is now at version 1.4 -- a new RGB checkbox!
When RGB is checked, the film simulation runs each of the RGB channels through the simulator process individually, thus imitating some of the response properties of colour film (but not all of them; colour film simulation is still a ways off). When in RGB mode, the spectral response sliders provide gamma adjustments instead of spectra lresponse, so white is preserved.
Matty and MattyPRO 1.2 -- Autolevels Fix
Matty no longer interferes with the operation of Bibble's built-in autolevels function. Yay! |
