In fact, through this article you will see that the results I got in Photoshop using its Reduce Noise filter is simply unacceptable. However, this was about the default experience and I wasn’t happy with the results I got. In looking at the results, I was unimpressed with the default experience I got from Photoshop, but it could easily be argued that with a better knowledge of this tool and isolating the changes to only a specific channel I could get better results. This photo was probably the most noisy picture of this roundup. I repeated this process for each layer, with the layer in question being the only selected and visible layer at the top I do my copy. Finally I did a select all of this square and did a copy, followed by a paste into a new 3 x 2 inch 240 dpi sRGB target document.I then did a 1 inch x 1 inch 240 dpi crop of an area I deemed to be the most noisy, and saved the PSD.In some cases, like Chicago, that was just Lightroom 2’s default noise reduction setting. I had previously processed all of these images in Lightroom with some level of noise reduction, so I simply used the values I had set by hand when I originally processed these photos.

For Lightroom, I actually used Adobe Camera Raw (ACR) as they use the same code behind the scenes and my testing couldn’t detect a difference between the products.Noise Ninja also has the benefit of custom camera profiles I created that it detects and uses to assist in its processing accuracy (see the Noise Ninja review for the difference it makes). For Noise Ninja I do click the Profile Image button, and for Noiseware I selected the Default “setting” for the Sledding photo, and Night Scene for the others as I expect that would be what any reasonable person would do when experimenting with these products. I repeat this process for all of the other filters.I don’t make any changes because I’m wanting to compare the out of box experience that you would get. When running filters for this test (except ACR/Lightroom), I simply run the filter and click ok to close it on its appropriate layer. I ran the Dfine filter on one of these original layers because it always creates its own new duplicate layer before performing any changes (a feature I love and wish ALL destructive plug-ins did).At this point, ALL layers are still exact copies of the original layer and NO filters have been run. I duplicated this layer twice and called those layers Noise Ninja and Noiseware.I duplicated the above layer and then chose Rasterize Layer to prevent it from being a smart object, and I named this layer Photoshop.I then did a New Smart Object via Copy to create a new layer copy that has its own independent Adobe Camera Raw settings (duplicate layer just links to the original). For the original, I set the Noise Reduction Luminance and Color from the details tab to 0.The way I created these was by opening the CR2 RAW image into Adobe Photoshop CS4 (11.0.1) via Adobe Camera Raw 5.3.0.21 on 32-bit Microsoft Windows Vista SP1 system as a 8-bit sRGB image.To accurately evaluate these photos you MUST click them and view them at 100%. 4 copies of EACH of Noiseware, Noise Ninja and Dfine (12 total) will be given away!

Use these results as a starting point, but I encourage you to experiment with trial version of each product to determine your own winner. This means that my rankings may not correspond with your as you may place a higher value on edge preservation than I do, or you might expect zero noise in the final image at all cost. It is worth noting that noise reduction results are SUBJECTIVE.

I also award points for the results achieved by the software developers of each product and how they processed the photo, as I assume this to be the theoretical best results you could expect to get.

To best view the results, you MUST view them at 100% as the scaled versions shown inline have compression artifacts that keep them for showing the exact results (they are close, but 100% are significantly better). In this section I will discuss how each product faired using its default settings on each of the 4 test photos, and awards points for their performance (the more the better). Greatest Saves Contest (win one the products from parts 2 – 4).
