| Hi Don,
I have been using Noise Ninja for awhile and have found it to work wonders. I bought it in desperation when 10 second exposures with the zoneplate showed golf ball sized noise. Well, those noisy images were impossible to fix, but Noise Ninja helped a lot. It particularly has been great in smoothing out my Panasonic (Leica clone) images which are well known for noise.
Not having used Neat Image I cannot compare the 2, but I feel you can't go wrong with Noise Ninja. (Besides, Don, wouldn't you rather have something with a cool name?)

I've been testing different DSLRs, using high ISOs for RAW captures, and to my surprise the digital noise isn't as bad as I expected, though it's definitely there. So far I prefer Neat Image to Noise Ninja but I don't have the full blown versions of either package so a complete evaluation isn't possible. I'd rather not purchase both to determine which is better. I'm primarily interested in noise reduction rather than other features such as image sharpening. Any shared experience with either package (or any other) will be appreciated. TIA, Don Bryant |
