Comments on: Noise Ninja Released for Aperture http://photofocus.com/2008/08/07/noise-ninja-released-for-aperture/ Fri, 10 Feb 2012 19:39:10 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.com/ By: Bob Spence http://photofocus.com/2008/08/07/noise-ninja-released-for-aperture/#comment-6382 Sat, 16 Aug 2008 05:52:22 +0000 http://twipphoto.com/?p=827#comment-6382 I have done a few more tests, and found images where Noise Ninja produces results I do prefer to what Adobe Camera Raw (3.7) does, so after a bit more playing around, I will say that Noise Ninja is capable of similar or better results, to my eye.

When added to the convenience of integration into Aperture, I will say it now makes sense to get this plugin.

Definitely much better than the builtin Noise reduction in Aperture 2.1.1. This on images shot with Canon 350D and 400D.

What I find a little strange is that the Noise Reduction filter within Photoshop is also way less effective than the one in the RAW importer.

I agree with Adam here, it is very hard to see the results with the yellow grid while using the evaluation version, but it was just enough to see some improvement. I’m looking forward to the review; I’ve some older low light images that would benefit from a clean up.

Im so glad it released because I was so close to buying Nik Software DFine 2.0 after your review the other day. As I said, I only did the trial so far so I am really looking forward to seeing your review on the full version plugin. The trial leaves a grid on your images that is really a bit extreme, making it hard to see how good the results are.
