We downloaded and tested every one of them we could find in demo mode.
Personally I liked the Noiseware filter best, Ninja came in second but
I suspect with settings you could make them identical. We finally
decided on Noise Ninja because it seemed less confusing to learn. Neat
was at one time in the lead, but I think these others are doing a bit
better now.
John, these filters are pretty complex, very different from the D&S PS
filter. The analyze the image first, and procced accordingly.
I don't really like them, but used very carefully they help reduce
drum scanner grain accentuation with neg films. I have used it with
success on higher iso cannon captures as well.
