William Kahn Posted December 4, 2006 Share Posted December 4, 2006 Noise Ninja has a Mac version, but I don't know anything about it (Windows freak, here). Go to www.picturecode.com. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ellis_vener_photography Posted December 4, 2006 Share Posted December 4, 2006 I'm not sure platform really is relevant. I use Noise Ninja. At this past weekend's Epson Print Academy, the question was raised and Jeff Schewe says that he, Martin Evening, Seth Resnick and Bruce Fraser are currently favoring Noiseware. The difference , given the tone and the way the response was given didn't indicate to me that Schewe thought there was a huge difference. Jeff is is a fine photographer and is publisher of the http://www. adobephotoshopnews.com blog Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aeiffel Posted December 4, 2006 Share Posted December 4, 2006 NeatImage works pretty well IMHO. I like the idea of noise profiles and the ability to save them as well as your presets.<br>I have built a couple of custom profiles/presets for different ISO of the dslr, and a couple others for scans of my usual b&w combos (film-developer). Then it's fairly easy to create a PS action for each of them and add it to my shooting/scanning workflow with Automator. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
will_hammond Posted December 4, 2006 Share Posted December 4, 2006 I'd have to go with the D-Fine filters from Nik software. On the pricey side but I haven't found another plug-in so feature rich. Will Adobe CTI Photoshop Will Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark pav Posted December 5, 2006 Share Posted December 5, 2006 I use Noiseware on my Mac and have done so since they first came out with the community edition, years ago. I trialed every noise reduction program out there at the time and this one was fastest and the least plastic-y. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jens_krause Posted December 6, 2006 Share Posted December 6, 2006 Do not forget that Adobe Photoshop CS2 has a noise-reduction filter built-in (Filter/Noise/Reduce Noise). That is what you may want to try first. I have been very pleased with the results---so much that I do not use any external noise reduction filters anymore. Also, since I do not use film anymore, I do not routinely reduce noise, but the built-in filter does a very good job both with film grain and digital noise. <p><a href="http://www.jckrause.com/">Jens</a> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
