Envisioning Wanda getting frantic in a cartoonish kind of way. Laughing at that scene, sorry.

LOL I'm sure the funniest part was when I was nudging coins out from under the machines with a wooden ruler.

Pete, now I'm laughing all over again.

I use Neat Image, but gotta keep the percentages low or it makes the image TOO neat. I'd like to try Noise Ninja. Do they have a free trial?

Hey Puds... If you and Permie had little kids today, would you spank them for misbehavior??

There's a Community Edition one, but it doesn't work inside Photoshop, it's a stand-alone application.

You can DL the program, but any photo you save will have a grid on it. SO you can try it out to see if you like it, but you can't effectively use it till you purchase the key.

Ugh, I dislike stand-alones. PP is time-consuming enough as it is.

edit: but I broke my record and PP'd 11 photos last night.

Why?!?!?!?!? What are you saying? Do you know something I don't? GAAAA!!

I always had a hard time in the discipline aspect of parenting. My kids were too much of the Awwww factor in them. I'd like to think that Lisa and I were consistent with them, but it wasn't easy. They seemed to turn out OK, tho', regardless of the fumbling from their father. I think Lisa gets the credit for their good natured living.

As for your question: Yes, I would.

Noise reduction is over-rated. I hardly ever use it myself.

Well, I tried an experiment with ice forming on one of my ornaments.

It ended up looking like this. It earned a fair degree of childish tittering, so I didn't try anything like it again... Judge for yourself!!

THAT is truely inspriational

Noise Ninja is great, but here are some cautions that I'd like to put out there for you to contemplate:

-Always supervise your Noise Ninja. Ninjas are, by their training, very sneaky and can get into mischief quickly if left alone for too long.

-Occasionally, you will have a dialog box pop up on your screen. It will give you the following choices for noise correction: 1. Throwing Stars 2. Short Sword 3. Arrow 4. Staff of Death 5. Blow Dart and some others I can't remember right off hand. Be careful in your choice as these Noise Ninjas are very serious about their craft. I selected "Throwing Stars" once and my neighbor's car had a mysterious flat tire that next morning....

-Consider purchasing "Obnoxious Samurai". It tends to balance out the danger of the Noise Ninja.

-Whatever you do, don't take the mask off of your Noise Ninja. Geez, they hate that.

-You'll notice that every time you select a function on Noise Ninja, the software makes a karate-like "Hi-YA!" sound. At first it's really kinda cute, but it gets old fast. You can turn it off in the preference section. But be careful; you must show yourself worthy to do that, and you have to pass through the dreaded Ninja Gauntlet.....

-There are two different Noise Ninjas... the Black Ninja: which is probably the more popular and common. Very fast, but can sometimes do bad deeds if the price is right. The White Ninja: More of an oddity as they are the Good Boys of the Ninja set. Not as fast, but they do tend to not go on tangents and kill innocent photos just to keep their practice up. There was, a few years ago, the attempt to introduce the Paisley Ninja and the Argyll Ninja, but they didn't make it past the test groups.

Hope this helps you.

You and my 10 year old could bond completely... want to babysit?

Exactly. That's why I went off in search of a noise program that was a PS plugin. It will cut my PP time way down.

I had the noiseware community edition already, but I would have to open each photo, and process each one singly. It's ok for the occasional noisy pic, but I'm not willing to spend that much time de-noising a huge batch of photos.

Thanks for the answer. Will you take Allie for the upcoming school year? She needs the snot whacked outta her.

You should try it, the squirrels might chatter less.

I rarely use it, but the noise on these pics I'm working on right now calls for drastic measures.
