At the Consumer Electronics Show a few weeks ago Corel announced the release of AfterShot Pro, a non-destructive RAW developer application for photographers. Corel is pushing PaintShop Pro as the editor to be used with ASP.

The intended workflow would be camera -> AfterShop Pro -> Output for Use or -> PaintShop Pro for additional editing -> AfterShop Pro -> Output for Use.

AfterShot Pro is actually Bibble Labs' Bibble 5, the last version released at the end of 2011. Corel purchased Bibble labs and rebranded (with some modification) it AfterShot Pro. It's available for Windows, Mac OS and Linux.

Bibble was the fastest RAW developer on the market, and that speed is evident in Corel AfterShot Pro.

Corel is offering owners of PSP, versions X2-X4 ASP at a discounted price.

Just what the actual impact on PSP will be remains to be seen.
