traycer writes "Finally, professional-grade digital camera raw workflow software for Linux. Bibble 4.0 from BibbleLabs is a Qt-based commercial package (available in Lite and Pro versions) that promises to have batch workflow efficiency, raw conversion speed and image output quality rivalling or surpassing that of Phase One's much more expensive Capture One software (which isn't available for Linux anyway). Bibble 4.0 also supports tethered shooting for some DSLRs, end-to-end colour-managed workflow, and a very nice system of user-definable work queues for those with several photo shoots on the go. Now all they need is a Bibble plug-in for the GIMP..."

I mean, what good is "end-to-end colour workflow" when I can't even PROFILE THE MONITOR on Linux??

X11 has Xcms to characterize devices, and LCMS provides color management for applications. ImageMagick and the Gimp both can use the LCMS.

Mac dual G5 with Sony Artisan monitor is the way to do it. Linux still has a long way to go before I'd even consider it for color-sensitive photography.

If that makes you happy, fine. But just because you don't know about color management on other platforms doesn't mean it doesn't exist.
