For colour accuracy DPP is superior in my experience - shots of my Macbeth colour chart are the closest using 'Faithfull' rendering. If I shoot anything that requires accurate colour reproduction there is no contest. The latest ACR has a revised colour calibration which adjusts the blues but I've never had any success with adjusting the calibration sliders to get accurate colour. Maybe you can get colours to look good or interesting but if it's accuracy you are after thats another matter.

I'm pretty certain the "Camera" tone curve tries to interpret the curve set in the metadata (Picture Style?) of the RAW file. It seems to work for the most part, but I do not use Picture Styles at all, so I cannot confirm this. What I do know is that I have my camera set to the default "Standard" picture style and when I choose "Camera" tone curve it seems to look a lot like a "Standard" picture style (contrasty and saturated) as the colour chart shot looks.
Anyone who uses Bibble seriously will typically set the tone curve to default to "Very Low", which provides a much more neutral base tone curve to start with. Any curve tweaks or custom curves are then applied on top of that base.
It is the little nuances like this that can make a Bibble experience go from "OK" to "excellent". Unfortunately, there seem to be enough of these nuances to scare a lot of people away. If that has been the case for anyone here, I understand, but I encourage you to try Bibble 5 when it is released....Show more →
Hello cogitech- After your post I downloaded the Bibble and see lot of potential to it.
I found that colourimetric setting of the tone curve gives best result. Other settings gives lot of contrast to begin with.

If it is colour accuracy you are after, I highly recommend Sean Puckett's "Claire" plugin for Bibble.

Your comment on this pl.
Many people like to use colourimetric as a base, but I find "very low" to be the ideal starting point for me. "Very low" gets me most of the way to my final product and then a custom curve on top finishes it off. Depending on the photo, I do sometimes use colourimetric if I find the saturation and contrast too high after applying my custom curve.
