Noise Reduction Software

I am always looking for ways to improve my photographs and photography. I've avoided shooting low light photographs because of noticeable noise. I realize a higher priced camera would reduce this problem but I'm not able to afford a better kit. an alternative is software that reduces noise.

I did some research on different packages and settled on Noiseware Standard Edition for $50. It's a plug-in for most of the leading graphic software packages including Photoshop & Elements. Once installed it become a simple filter selection inside Elements to automatically reduce noise & increase sharpness. You have total control over the process and the software utilizes artificial intelligence to improve over time.

I chose one of my previously posted photos to see if you can see the difference. I'm loving this software more each time I use it.

Reduced Noise

there's a noticeable difference there bob. It's also taken off the fringing on some of the edges of fruit.

There is a definate improvement when using the software. I picked a point at the bottom left of the image to compare and was rather amazed by the results. For that price it is a very good purchase

That's actually pretty decent! Nice find Bob!

Great find Bob, I loved the colour in that image

Thanks Bob I think I may have $50 worth of that, may wait till I have the new PC as this one will no longer be used for Photos once I have the new one.

Have plenty of shots to learn to use it not least my bird ones.

I just did a quick google search for this software and found it here for free, however I dont know the site myself

Edit, not sure if this is the most up to date version btw

I purchased version 4. Don't know the limitations of version 2 or if there's a time limit for its use.

Good point Bob, didnt realise what the version you had , $50 seems a good buy to me though.

One of the things I love about Noiseware 4.0 is the speed. I'm operating on my Toshiba laptop & it takes about 2 seconds to clear all the noise with that filter plug-in. Amazing!
