Bibble 5, DAM for Linux, and data portability

“There is a noticeable “Lightroom gap” for Linux photographers.
The open source project with the best chance of filling that gap at
the moment is probably RawTherapee. But RawTherapee won’t be a
serious contender for at least a few years. Which is no knock
against RawTherapee—it’s just that Lightroom has a
significant head start and arguably more development resources.

“So I’m evaluating Bibble 5 Pro (version 5.1f). I had to process
over 1,000 images this weekend and LightZone was killing me. I
really like LightZone. But, damn… it is slow. It does have
batch processing capabilities but they’re not particularly robust
(there’s no way to apply some adjustments but not others, for
example).”
