There is no doubt that there are more Aperture users than something like Bibble. You might want to take a look at the industry and see how many of us use Macs.

I'm a wedding shooter who pushes ~8-10K photos a month and found Lightrooms importing and pre-viewing painfully slow (on a quad core machine). Bibble kicked it's butt. Proper key wording and I can find a photo of a tree in the sun I shot two years ago in under 2 min. The interface is a bit wonkey, but if you can get past that it's fine. I'd say the only hang up is the healing brush in Lightroom vs. the same in Bibble. LR has an edge there. Also, as LR is the "professional standard" (what ever that means) there is more support, more plug in's and pre-sets (if you need a bunch of image color tweeking presets). I am sure that DNG will find support eventually, although Bibble's thrust is to work with RAW files, why they would expand to a file type that is (yes supposedly open source) an output from another processor I am not sure. Like Ford making a truck that will take a Chev. motor as a drop in....

I tried the other 3 extensively using trial versions and was lined up to buy Bibble based both on it's processing and it's workflow abilities. Having now used DxO for the last month, I find it's output excellent but workflow very weak. It seems to be geared towards the first part of a photographers workflow, RAW conversion and that's it! If you move, modify, rename or create a file in another package, you manually have to update DxO. As workflow and efficiency are of major importance to anyone trying to make a living in Photography, small differences in conversion capabilities be come less important. On this basis, LR3 and Bibble would have to score higher points in their workflow abilities. It seems that I will now need to plug my workflow hole with LR3 or even the Bridge Armand,

It tends to bite you in the ass if you try to use it for anything too strenuous. It's a great deal safer to use it in filesystem mode. Beware, the DAM functions in Bibble are incomplete and buggy.

I've been using all these processors (except bibble) for years and am looking forward to Aperture 3 being included next time. I'm also curious about Hasselblad's Phocus 2.5, which was just released in May. They finally opened up their RAW processing software to third party cameras (Canon, Nikon, etc) and multiple file formats (including DNG). Phocus might be in too much of an early stage for professional workflows and results, yet their photographic history can't be denied. They seem to offer most of the basic controls that the big 5 offer, yet tethered capture is only for Hasselblad cameras at this point. It's currently a free download ... which could either mean the quality isn't great or they're just trying to develop a user base. Interested in your feedback ... http://www.dpreview.com/news/1005/10051201phocus25.asp Just came across this article seven months later and this is still outstanding info.

Could I kindly request you to update for LR3 final version, which now has optical correction as well as lens correction. I would be interested if DXO6 is still worth it when having the same features in LR3. Kind regards, Donald Hi,

thanks for your review. Could I kindly request you to update for LR3 final version, which now has optical correction as well as lens correction. I would be interested if DXO6 is still worth it when having the same features in LR3.
