I used to use Neat Image, but tried Noiseware on a lark....I no longer use Neat Image and rely on Noiseware to do the job.

I've used both NN and NW and find NW does a better job at retaining detail to me.

I will post a picture done with NN and noiseware for people to see the difference.

I'd like to see the differences. I'm using Noise Ninja and I'm not sure I'm 100% pleased with some of the results.

I've been using Neat Image Pro as a plug-in in CS2/3 and really like it. I have recently been trying it as the last function which allows me to tweak the results with Edit>Fade.

I've tried the others but ended up with Neat Image for no particular reason except it was easy to use.

thanks everyone for your comments...sounds like pro's and con's for NN, NW, and Neat Image. With all of these though it sounds like each PS plugin can only process an already RAW converted image, eh? So i will have to apply the noise filter after the RAW conversion. Am i making any kind of sense? I guess applying a noise filter with a tiff image it isn't so bad. Compromise compromise.

Ii have not tried Noiseware, but I started out with Noise Ninja and found it to soften my pics... a lot. I switched to Neat Image Pro and I have been very pleased with the results as a plug-in in PSCS2.

I used Neat image, Noise Ninja, and Noiseware Pro. Noiseware pro is the best of the bunch IMO. It's all I use now.

i download the trial version of both NoiseNinja and Noiseware and tried them on different pictures. i have to say that for me, there was no comparrison. Noiseware won out everytime. NoiseNinja did a great job of getting rid of the noise but at the expense of too much softening. Aditionally, i found that NoiseNinja degraded the pixels easier than Noiseware. So there is my unqualified opinion, good luck.

Here is a comparison I did with NN and Noiseware.
https://photography-on-the.net/forum/showthre​ad.php?t=283412

NN is better IMO, I think Noiseware often over does the noise reduction process and affects the color too much. NN relies on camera profiles to reduce noise, so over done plastic like results are not as likely. Furthermore, I know I can get consistantly good results from running batches.

What I'd like to see are a few of the same images, each edited only for noise with each available noise reducer.

Here's something I found along those lines: http://www.michaelalmo​nd.com/Articles/noise.​htm (external link)
According to the history listing it has been a couple years since an update, though, (technological changes) so caveat emptor.

Tougher to compare the photo quality than what Rumrunner has posted, also.
