Bibble 5.1 is the largest update to the Bibble 5 product line to date, and includes many major new features, resolves issues from previous releases, adds support for four new RAW file formats and over a dozen new lenses.

Perfectly Clear ®: One Click Correction to Perfection Perfectly Clear correction in Bibble 5.1 Pro

Perfectly Clear® is a one-touch image optimization algorithm created by Athentech, Inc which applies more that 13 synergistic corrections simultaneously. “Bibble is the fastest raw engine on the market - and in addition produces the most accurate and eye-pleasing raw renderings” says Brad Malcolm, President of Athentech, Inc. “I am delighted that our Perfectly Clear automatic correction is part of this exciting software. We look forward to saving Bibble users significant time in correcting their photos when they apply our powerful automatic image correction.”

Heal & Clone in Bibble 5.1 Pro

The new Heal & Clone tools in Bibble 5 work in conjunction with Bibble 5’s selective editing framework, allowing photographers to remove distracting elements from their images quickly and easily.

Healing Regions allow photographers to quickly remove small blemishes and spots left by sensor dust by blending away small imperfections quickly and easily. Cloning Regions copy image content from one portion of the image to cover over distracting or unwanted elements in photographs.

“Our Regions and Layers tools were initially created with Heal & Clone functionality in mind, so I’m thrilled that we are able to add this critical image correction functionality into Bibble 5 so quickly after our initial release” says Stephens.

Bibble 5.1 Lite

Bibble 5.1 Lite offers much of the same speed, power and control as Bibble Pro, but without several of the pro-specific features at a fantastic price. Lite is designed for photo enthusiasts who demand top-quality RAW file conversion and fast, efficient and powerful image editing tools.
