Digital BW, The Print

From my limited experimenting with the Noise Ninja demo version, I think it
can do a better job than the new Reduce Noise filter in CS2, but I don't
think I care enough, or need it often enough, to make it worthwhile. The new
filter gets me 80%, and I am not very willing to invest the time and money
to squeeze out the last 20%. I think the new filter is a big improvement
over the noise reduction in ACR, although it does take a little time to
learn how to use it properly. 

 

On the other hand, one thing I really like about Noise Ninja is that its
camera-model-dependant and ISO-dependant noise filtering can be run
automatically on a batch of images. The batch file reads the image ISO and
camera model from each image's meta data and adjusts the noise processing
accordingly. If I shot an event, with 100s of high ISO images, the batch
processing might really pay off. Hand tweaking each image might give better
results, but I can't see myself doing it.

Sorry, yes, you are right. Between OS updates, the 9800, more storage,
new cannons, etc., I have not sprung for PSCS2. So I'm not familiar
with that new filter.
Perhaps someone else here can report on how well these 3rd party
filters work compared to it.
