Two professional-grade, proprietary multimedia applications are coming to Linux: shortly after Corel announced a version of their Lightroom-competitor After Shot Pro for Linux, Bitwig announced an upcoming Linux version of their DAW solution Bitwig Studio.

AfterShot Pro, which is largely a rebadged version of the latest releas of Bibble Pro, is similar in function to other well-known photography applications such as Aperture and Adobe’s Lightroom. It boasts advanced non-destructive editing, a ‘complete RAW workflow’,  ’flexible photo management’, and comprehensive metadata and batch-processing tools. Corel also say that the application fully optimised for multiple-core CPUs.

Bitwig is an international music software company based in Berlin. The company was founded in 2009 by a team of music enthusiasts with extensive experience in the music technology industry and a strong vision about new cutting-edge methods of music production, live performance and collaboration. The team includes many veterans who worked on Ableton Live, a popular software for professional music creation.  Bitwig has now released Bitwig Studio, a multi-platform professional music-creation system and Digital Audio Workstation (DAW) for production, performance and DJing and unlike Ableton Live, it will have a Linux version.
