Bibble 5.2.3 (en RC et un problème !) : A65, A77 +...

[Rorqual]

Edit : ce petit complément pour signaler que les raw du A77 envoyés à Bibble Labs étaient faits avec une pré-version du logiciel embarqué.
Il faut donc attendre encore un peu pour un dématriçage efficace (vu la disponibilité des boîtiers, ce n'est pas grave...).

RAW Noise Suppression
There is one new control on the Basic tool panel, and several on the Details -> Sharpen & Noise panel. The Details panel controls are as follows:

Raw Impulse Noise Removal - turning this on tells Bibble to look for stuck or dead pixels and remove them - not just those due to defective photosites on sensors, but also due to high ISO noise. Some cameras, like newer Canon's, show a lot of this type of noise starting around ISO 800.
RAW Noise - this is a "RAW Level" denoising process before demosaicing. Checkbox turns it on or off, slider controls strength (really just blending back the original).
Threshold - Tells Bibble how much noise there is, or where the signal to noise ratio is. Use higher settings for noisier images. It's already biased by image settings (ISO), so it expects ISO 3200 to be noisier than ISO 100.

Note also that you can't do 'RAW Noise' without also doing Impulse Noise Removal (but you can do Impulse removal without doing RAW Noise.
For this whole RAW noise stuff, our aim is NOT to do away with Noise Ninja. In fact, the pair should work really well together.
