Bibble Pro has been my raw converter and DAM for some years. Now Corel has acquired Bibble Labs and the new version is called AfterShot Pro. So now I’ve made the move over to ASP, which really what Bibble 6.0 would have been. Must say that I’m satisfied so far. This flower was developed only with AfterShot.

Color calibrating with Ubuntu 11.10
This post is a little lengthy. If you just want color calibration to work in Ubuntu 11.10 just scroll to the bottom of the full post for a quick version!
A color calibrated screen is essential if you want your screen to match your prints. It’s also makes sure your photos looks relatively good on other screens to. If your monitor is way to blue, then your pictures may look way to red on another badly calibrated screen. While you may find a color profile that nearly matches your monitor on TFT central, you need a colorimeter to get it correct.
I finally invested in a Huey Pro from Pantone. I was considering a Spyder 3, but a little goggling revealed that they no longer provided tech specs that allowed for development of linux drivers. Since I run Ubuntu on my workstation I went for the Huey.

Dawn before Sossusvlei
The gates to Sossusvlei opens at sunrise. Waiting there to enter the light is fantastic as the sun is about to appear from behind the far mountains.

Shoot in RAW!
This is an example of how shooting in RAW can save a bad exposure. This shot is from Langedrag wildlife park (http://www.langedrag.no/english). The lynx moved from the sun to a shadow, and I didn’t think of compensating the exposure of the lynx for the sunlit background.
The raw file was developed with Bibble Pro 5. First I adjusted the exposure up 1.5 stops. Then saturation was boosted a bit to compensate for loss of colors due to the underexposure. I adjusted the curves to enhance the contrast. The last steps where to do a slight crop and flip the image horizontally.
I applied a signature in Gimp. Theres nothing worse than a good image ruined by a large ugly signature, so I keep it subtle.
