At last, the work of my last weeks is online.
First, here is my latest plugin, Blacky. It is a blacks slider (I mean two blacks sliders). The first is a more subtle adjustment, I recommend to use that tool for a nice effect. The second slider is a black level adjustment.
Both effects can be achieved with the curves tool, but maybe a dedicated control is easier to use. Maybe that's why this feature was asked several times in the Bibble support forums.
And before I forget: Blacky is opensource, so if you want to modify it, just get the source code!

The second news is that SallyPro got updated. This fixes finally the crash on Mac when the plugin got enabled. I'd like to apologise that the previous versions of SallyPro didn't work on this platform. Sincerely I don't own a Mac and I just compiled the sources which worked for Windows and Linux for Mac. But, well, they didn't work as expected.
Big thanks for RobiWan for his help and his time to find this bug!

Finally, I finished updating SallyPro... Now everything works, including the Preview and Reset buttons. Some bugs were also eliminated, and I updated a bit the interface.

Note, that the buttons won't work in the trial version of SallyPro.

Sorry it took so long (since the release of Bibble5), but it's really a lot of work. Only the number of the Preview buttons to implement is over 70.

Anyway, if everything goes well, the final version will be released during the weekend.

P.S. I'm preparing an up

SallyPro bugfix 08/19/2009
 
Yep, I know it had quite a few bugs, sorry about them. It is really a complex plugin with hundreds of controls...difficult to check each one of them.
But thanks to your feedback the bugs were localized and I hope I eliminated most of them - I hope. If you are still having trouble, write me (leave a feedback or go to the Bibble forum)!

Important! One of the bugs was that the Highlights and Shadows controls were switched. The new version corrects this problem, but that means that the highlight/shadows settings you made with the old version will be messed up now. If you have a work in progress, better wait to finish it, and switch to the new version after that.

Go check out the fresh version on the Download page!

At last I finished it!
The complicated interface stroke back once more, I had a lot of trouble hunting the bugs.
Because of the current limitations of Bibble 5 the buttons aren't working, but I hope the Preview feature isn't that crucial.
(sincerely, there is a workaround I used in Lay, but it's too complicated to be implemented for some 80 buttons)
Anyway, I hope you'll like it!

Bibble 5 plugins 05/27/2009
 

I know I promised the Bibble 5 plugins two weeks ago, and they still aren't posted...
I must admit I didn't really have time to code them (I have a lot of work), but I'll make them slowly. It took me some time to get used to the new plugin architecture (had a few nasty bugs, especially with the multi-layer images). However Harry is ready (I'm already testing it), and I'll start to port Sally soon.
Unfortunately the development of Bibble 5 is even slower...and they may change the plugin system anytime. That isn't a motivating factor at all.

By the way, the evaluation version of SallyPro will expire in a few days. You should uninstall it, otherwise it will bug you everytime you start Bibble (or buy the full version).
I promise next time I'll make a less obtrusive notification.

First the good news: SallyPro for Bibble4 is released!
It wasn't easy to write it, the interface has more than 650 elements crowded in the tabs. Implement the action for every button, linking every slider was a real PITA. But it was worth the work, the results are really great.
I also made a double interface for SallyPro, you can use which suits you the best, or even both interfaces in parallel! You can find them in the Tools menu->Plugins->SallyPro A or SallyPro B.
You can try the preview version or buy it.

In the meantime I almost finished porting Harry and Sally to Bibble 5.
I hope I can post them for testing this weekend. As there still may be some (minor) changes in the Bibble5 plugin structure, it's possible I'll have to recompile them for the next beta (or the final version, I hope), but I think I won't wait for the final version with the release, so you can play with them (and maybe use them - sincerely I like a lot the features of Bibble5).

Now the bad news: I had a Mac today from a friend, si I had the chance to compile my plugins for MacOS. Sally works without problem, Harry gives aberrant results and SallyPro crashes. It's really annoying, as the "engine" of the plugins is the same, and they compile without problem under Linux and Windows.
I've spent 3 hours debugging, trying to correct an operation for Harry, but no luck. About SallyPro I don't have a clue what could go wrong.
So I'll put Sally on the download section, but I won't promise anything for SallyPro and Harry.
