When I tried iPhoto I found it to be the single worst user interface that I have ever had the misfortune to use. It was the epitome of the macintologist philosophy that if you don't want to do something our way, you are Shit Out of Luck. My first gripe was the fact that it put every photo into the same library, no matter how big and clunky that made the library, or if for example you had some photos that you didn't want to share with everybody that might look through the library. There was, it turned out, an aftermarket program that would change which library it looked at, but there were many other things about iPhoto that I absolutely despised. It may have improved since then, but the memories of trying to use it still make my skin crawl. As to noise reduction in Bibble, you do realize that the amount of noise reduction and sharpening in bibble are both adjustable? You can crank up the NR, and recover some of the sharpness by bringing the sharpening back up. I've heard that the best NR algorithm is in DCRAW, that it uses a wavelet algorithm that reduces noise without causing extra smeariness. -- The fastest way to get your question answered on the net is to post the wrong answer.
