Ok, now we'll have a look at Noise Ninja, which is another great noise reduction plug in/program. Noise Ninja also has different versions with different options. There's a Photoshop plug in version and a standalone version. I'll be using Noise Ninja 2.1.2 Pro Photoshop plug in.
To access Noise Ninja, I'll go to the "Filter" menu, slide down to "PicturePro" and over to
"Noise Ninja".
I get this dialog box, full of options.
Device noise profiles should be used to get the best results. You can download some pre-made ones for your digital camera or scanner off the Noise Ninja web site or create your own. Alternatively, you can also choose to have Noise Ninja scan your image and automatically create a noise profile. I am going to do that. I will click on the "Profile image" button under the "Profile" tab to automatically create a noise profile.
With my noise profile created, I will go to the "Filter" tab. There's a bunch of options here, but I'm mainly concerned about the "Strength" slider in the "Luminance" field. The higher the setting, the more noise is removed and vice versa.
