john_dempsey2 Posted September 17, 2006 Share Posted September 17, 2006 HiI have Neat image noise reduction software just the FREE VERSION.My question is... Is the full pro version any better? and worth paying the $79 for. If so what extra control do you have over noise? thanks john Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
conrad_hoffman Posted September 17, 2006 Share Posted September 17, 2006 I've used the free version and think it's pretty darn good. AFAIK, the full version will let you save a higher quality file, and that alone makes it worth the price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tom_swanson Posted September 17, 2006 Share Posted September 17, 2006 Pro version works with more image types including 16 bit images. More interesting than that is that it has a photoshop plugin so you can use it right from cs2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
will king Posted September 17, 2006 Share Posted September 17, 2006 Also consider Kodak Digital Gem. I've used Noise Ninja and KDG, and find that Kodak Digital Gem is superior. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neil_hanawalt Posted September 17, 2006 Share Posted September 17, 2006 I saw this thread after buying NIK Dfine earlier today as a download (also noise reducing) for $99. I just downloaded the NEAT Demo, and after testing both software products, I have foud NEAT to be much better. The noise reducing is more comlete and the bigest advantage is it retains detail which Dfine would not. Now... I am a new user of both of these, but I got results fast with NEAT. I will have to wretle with Dfine to see I can make it work as well, If not, I'll be asking for a refund so I can send those funds for the full Version of NEAT!<div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emre Posted September 17, 2006 Share Posted September 17, 2006 Before you do that, you should evaluate Noiseware too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robert lee Posted September 18, 2006 Share Posted September 18, 2006 I don't remember the specfics now, but the one big advantage of the full version has to do with much improved workflow. It's got a really slick interface for batching up jobs. This came in really handy when I bulk filtered about 3000 film scans awhile back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marshall Posted September 18, 2006 Share Posted September 18, 2006 Has anyone seen/done a recent comparison that includes Neat Image, Noise Ninja, Noiseware, and any other reasonable competitors? I find myself wanting to get something for noise reduction, but at a loss for good sources with recommendations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neil_hanawalt Posted September 18, 2006 Share Posted September 18, 2006 I am in the process of receiving help from NIK with the performance of their software "Dfine". They will not refund $ for a downloaded version. I too would like to benifit from reading a comparison of noise reduction software products. I'm impressed with Neat Image, if only because I had good results in the first 10 minutes of using it, And I have the Demo version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robert goldstein Posted September 19, 2006 Share Posted September 19, 2006 I used Neat Image for a while but switched to Noiseware Professional, which I have found to be easier, faster and more effective. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
