Best. Photoshop. Plugin. Ever… Noiseware Professional

June 29th, 2008 by mike downey Leave a reply »

Wow – I just found one of the most gratifying software plugins I’ve ever used. Like many photographers, I’ve been struggling with excessive noise in a lot of my shots due to high ISO or compensation for poor exposures. On Scott Kelby’s recommendation I decided to give Photoshop plugin Noiseware Professional a try. Oh – my – God. I can’t believe how good this plugin is. I don’t know why we don’t ship something this good in Photoshop. I mean, wow.
So if you’re like me and you have a lot of low-light shots that just look super-noisy, do yourself a favor and buy this plugin (they also offer a standalone version).

Sidenote: Please don’t leave a bunch of angry comments telling me that I’ve carelessly overlooked some other plugin that you feel is the “best Photoshop plugin ever” – this is my opinion. If you do have other friendly recommendations, please comment away.

    Been using the plugin for a long time and have never looked back. I was so impressed I also have their Real Grain tool. Which I describe to everyone as ‘the film simulator’ :)

    Very impressive, as far as I can see from their “before after” examples. Their other plugins seem to rock, too.

    Hi Mike,

    My name is Matt Snyder. Sorry to leave this in your comments, but I found your blog today and I wanted to get in touch with you concerning my company. We (www.nauglegroup.com) focus solely on Rich Internet Application developers and engineers. Though we are based in Washington D.C., we work with candidates looking for full-time or contract work for clients throughout the USA.

    The Naugle Group is the concept of our founder Kevin Langdon, an engineer whose experience with recruiters left him quite frustrated. Few recruiters are very technical and often work within broad industry areas. This results in gross mistakes in the matching of potential candidates and opportunities. Naugle Group seeks to fix this by focusing on a specific growing technology area and providing expertise in screening and finding the best candidates and job openings in the market.

    If you’d be interested in speaking, please feel free to reach out. I’ve done some blogging and know that finding content can sometimes be challenging. We’d appreciate you posting about us as a help to us and your readers.

    Thanks for your time!

    I’ve all of the imagenomic plugins, and they are all great. Noiseware is just outstanding, its without peer in the plugin market. Kodak has something similar and there is the fabulous noise ninja. Both are nearly good, but noiseware has the edge over the other two, which i am afraid will go unnoticed my many; if they are placed alongside.
