walterh Posted May 12, 2005 Share Posted May 12, 2005 Is there any experience yet with the new improved noise reductionembedded in CS2 ? How does it compare to say neat image? I think toupgrade my CS and was just ready to upgrade neat image to have theplug-in - but perhaps it became obsolete? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave_nelson___atlanta__ga Posted May 13, 2005 Share Posted May 13, 2005 <p>The CS2 Noise Reduction Filter does not come close to Noise Ninja, but it may work in a pinch.</p> <p>I recently <a href="http://davenelson.smugmug.com/gallery/523619"><u>shot a wedding</u></a> (not as THE photographer) at ISO 3200 and resorted to B&W to try and hide the noise. The bride was unhappy because she wanted color pictures so I gave the NoiseNinja demo a try and was amazed. But when I heard CS2 came with noise reduction I bought that instead. In comparing the results, NoiseNinja and its auto profiling leaves noise that looks a lot like film grain while CS2 leave noise that just looks like noise (even leaves some banding from the 20D).</p> <p>But overall I am happy with the noise reduction in CS2 and will not be spending $80 on NoiseNinja anytime soon. If I was shooting a lot of ISO 1600 and 3200 images I would buy NoiseNinja or Neat Image.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emre Posted May 13, 2005 Share Posted May 13, 2005 Try Noiseware Pro for a change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walterh Posted May 14, 2005 Author Share Posted May 14, 2005 I will upgrade to CS2 sooner or later anyway - so I might just do it sooner and see how well the noise filter works now. Thanks for the input. Cheers Walter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
