Noise Ninja

Hi All,

Some of my solid backgrounds shot with my d70s are pretty noisy even at 200 asa. Thinking of trying this program. Anyone using it ?

Thanks

Joe

Noise Ninja is the best NR software I have used. It can get pretty complicated to use if you are inclined to use all it's features - I use the defaults because I have not had the time to learn all it's nuances, and it works great.

I love NN. Make sure you download the profiles for your camera.

Thanks guys for the info

Joe

thumbs up for Noise Ninja. I'm a big fan of it. Just be careful of not going overboard with the noise reduction else your subjects might start looking very smooth/ artificial.

Niksoftware's Dfine 2.0 is another noise reduction software that is available... I have both Noise Ninja and Dfine 2.0 and there are advantages with each..Both are available on a trial download basis.... I suggest you download both, try them out and see which one works the best in your workflow.

I was introduced to NoiseNinja on a dive-boat in the Red Sea, and I haven't looked back. I tend to process each image as a one-off profile, rather than using a preset, and in the filter dialogue often use a 1-pixel radius and 150USM sharpening (with no in-camera sharpening of RAW files) and the noise reduction parameters (strength, smoothness and contrast) each left at 10.

My most de-noised image from a D70 is this one:

(strength and smoothness pushed up, contrast down and sharpness 100 at 0.5 radius.

Bright blue water was noisy with my D70, and I often used strength 14, smoothness 14-15 and contrast 8 for that.
