Terminology

These terms may be used by other applications, but have a specific meaning within Bibble 5.

A single Version, shown in the Preview Panel that is currently being adjusted. If multiple versions are selected and visible in the Preview Panel, then the Active Version was the last one added. Simply click on any of the other Previews to select that Version and make it Active.

Adjustment Tools in the Tool Tabs show the settings applied only to the Active Version.

Keywords added to the Keyword Tool are added to the Active Version as well as all Selected Versions.

A collection of images stored together, managed as a set within Bibble 5. Catalogs contain thumbnails and preview images, Master Files (or references to Master Files for images imported with the "Import by Reference" option), image settings and adjustments, and catalog-specific preferences.

Bibble 5 includes a single Library that can hold one or more Catalogs. Catalogs are groups of images, usually stored together or otherwise logically grouped together.

Digital Photographic image file imported or edited within Bibble. Master Files can be RAW, JPEG, or any other supported image file format. All Master Files are edited and managed non-destructively.

A Master Version is the editable Version inside Bibble that corresponds to the Master File, and will have one of the following Thumbnail Badges:

Master File

Master File, imported by Reference

Master File that is Offline

Removing the Master Version will remove all other versions made from this same Master File.

A group of images that are similar in content or subject matter that can be "rolled up" to show a single image representing the whole group, or "expanded" to show all the images in the Stack. Images in a Stack might be those that are part of an auto-bracket (a series of images taken very close in time to one another with slightly varying exposure or other settings) set of images, all images shot as part of a burst (many images shot by holding down the shutter release), or they may be grouped together manually to put images with similar content into a Stack.

When making image adjustments in Bibble 5, you are editing Versions instead of altering the Master File. You can have many Versions from the same Master File; for example a color, Sepia, and Black & White version all of the same image.

These are terms that are common to digital photography, and are included here as a convenience. For more information on Digital Photography, or photography in general, a great place to start is Wikipedia:

Luma or Luminosity is a measure of the brightness of an image or pixel. This is typically calculated as a 0.2126 R + 0.7152 G + 0.0722 B. Luma is also called Value in the HSV (Hue Saturation Value) color model.

A measure of the color of an image or a pixel, sometimes called Hue, as in the HSV color model.

Managing your photographic assets by building one or more image databases (called Catalogs), assigning searchable keywords, and allowing file management features like searching, browsing by keywords or other metadata, and archival features like backups, exporting of portions of databases, and browsing, searching, and viewing off-line images.

Literally, "data about data" and in the photographic context includes photographic settings like Shutter Speed, Aperture, and ISO Rating, and cataloging data like Keywords, Time and Data of exposure, location the image was taken, caption, copyright, or other related data.

JPEG (Joint Photographic Experts Group) is the most widely used digital image file format, ideal for sharing photographs on the web, in email, or as final-product images. JPEG files are compressed using Lossy Compression, and thus do not contain as much data as RAW or other lossess file formats.

TIFF (Tagged Image File Format) is a file format for digital images that provide the highest quality output image from Bibble. TIFF is a broadly supported file format that saves all the detail and color information in your photographs without using lossy compression (unlike JPEG images). TIFF images are quite a bit larger in file size than a comparable JPEG image.

Digital photographic files direct from a digital camera that contain all the detail and sensor information from the camera's sensor, with very little or no in-camera processing applied. RAW files are often called "Digital Negatives" because they allow a much greater range of image adjustments that other image formats, while requiring a "developing" process that produces a final image.

RAW files contain more photographic data that JPEG images, and thus allow far greater control and post-processing possibilities than any other photographic file format.

Different camera models produce different RAW files formats, and many camera makers vary the contents and formats of their RAW File formats from model to model.

The digital photographic process that occurs after the shutter release. This includes everything from getting your images off your camera and into your computer, adding keywords and other metadata, editing and optimizing your images, managing backups and archives, printing, making output images and as well as many other steps and processes.

Your Workflow might be simple and ad-hoc, or may be complex, codified, and very repeatable and structured.

An industry-standard set of metadata used to label and categorize Digital Photographs, created by the International Press Telecommunications Council, and used my many photographic agencies, and applications.

Any file that is associated with an image file and found in the same folder as the image file. These typically include:

•	WAV Files - Voice notes or other audio recording associated with this image

The technology and processes to match color across multiple image capture and reproduction devices. Proper color management ensures that colors are rendered on screen and in prints as faithfully as the various output technologies allow.

Every monitor, printer or other image output device has unique color reproduction qualities. Printers vary these qualities with different ink and paper brands and types. Having accurate Color Profiles for each device in your photographic workflow will ensure that you get the most accurate color and overall photographic quality from your digital photographs.
