Probably the only two things I need to do for this review are to say that I love it and use it, and to show you the screenshot below. I mean, look at that shot below – are you kidding me?
The program is very easy to use. They have a standalone and a plugin for Photoshop, which is the one I chose. Previously, I had been using Noiseninja for a while until I recently discovered this. Now I honestly ONLY use Noiseware Professional.
As some of you know that came here from my HDR Tutorial, this is an important step in my post-processing. The HDR process can often create some noise, especially at night. I’ve found that adding this noise-reduction step in the process has been a real time saver, and it really helps the photos to have more of a professional finishing touch.
By the way, Imagenomic makes another great product called Portraiture. Read about it in my Portraiture Review right here on the site.
