Or perhaps there is a better program out there? Please let me know. Thanks!

Test both and pick the one that best suits your workflow. You can take my 100-400 L away when you pry it from my cold, dead fingers.

You can get a feel for how it works and see the results on screen, you just can't save the file or print it. "If you're not having fun, your pictures will reflect that." - Joe McNally

I liked both fine, noise ninja got better reviews in some places, so I got the pro bundle.

See, Raw Shooter Premium has a N/R function and thought I'd hit two birds with one stone by buying it and passing on the two programs mentioned. So was wondering if RSP does a decent job at NR (it doesn't have to be an excellent job).

Photoshop has noise reduction in ACR and as a new feature of CS2, but I find it worse than useless.

I don't think RSP is any different from RSE in this regard. Several months ago I posted two images for comparison but I have no idea what the thread title was.

I ended up getting Neat Image Pro +. It does a very good job for me. My life is like one big RAW file....way too much post processing needed.

You must purchase the upgrade if you want to work with tiff files. I find the workflow effortless with very good results.

I did a test with the demos of noise ninja vs neat image, and I like the results of neat image better. From the reading online I've done, you can't go wrong with either.
