Topaz Denoise

I am considering trying Topaz denoise.

I currently use noise ninja but am reading some very strong reviews of denoise.

If anyone here can highlight the pros and cons of denoise to me i would be grateful.

They have a free 30 day trial so give them a try. One thing I like about Topaz is they've been giving the upgrades free. They just brought out Denoise5. I haven't played with it yet, but then I don't need/use noiseware much.

does nobody use it or have i missed a 20 page thread about it?

(i did search first btw).

I find the new noise suppression in LR or ACR so excellent that I don't use any other NR add-ons anymore.

in cs5? is it very different from cs4?

i don't think much of the NR in cs4 it is very basic.

I really like topaz de-noise. It is way better then the noise reduction in Camera Raw or Photoshop for sure. I can't really compare it to any other noise reduction tools though as it is the only tool I've used.

I would like to echo what D Thompson said about their upgrades. I purchased Topaz Adjust a long time ago and when I did I got De-Noise for free. Since then everytime Topaz has released a new version I have been able to upgrade at NO COST! That rules as far as I'm concerned!

Yes the noise reduction in CS5 is much better and is much more effective. I tried Topaz today and was impressed but it is a lot slower than Noise Ninja but on par with Nik Define 2.
