![]() ![]() Over the years, I found myself gravitating to other noise reduction plugins and applications, such as Nik DFine, Topaz DeNoise, and more recently, Macphun’s Noiseless. Neat Image was no exception in this regard, so I used it sparingly. While it did a nice job, at that time, all noise reduction software was problematic in that it tended to give images an overly smooth, almost plastic or painted look that did a lot of damage in the fine details of an image. Neat Image was one of the first noise reduction applications I used at that time. In those early days (the early 2000s), when ISO 800 was typically the upper usable limit of high ISO, noise reduction software became a must-have for those of us who were post-processing our files and wanted them to look less like sandpaper and more like something we’d be willing to display. DSLRs routinely top out at high ISO ratings that film shooters and early DSLR users could only dream of. In the early days of digital cameras, noise was a much bigger problem than it is these days. ![]()
