Noise Ninja works well to suppress noise in images from my Sony A900 camera for ISO 800 and below. At ISO 1600 and above, too much residual noise remains. I like the fact that Noise Ninja can operate either in stand alone mode or as a plug-in to Adobe Photoshop.

However, for some cameras a better choice is DxO Labs Optics Pro Elite v5.3.5 that does suppress noise well for Sony images up to ISO 3200. Optics Pro suppresses the noise in RAW images at the de-mosaicing stage where more information is available. Noise Ninja has less information available because it suppresses noise after the image has been converted from RAW format to RGB. Still, Noise Ninja with is a valuable piece of software. I particularly like its method for creating noise profiles at each ISO from the calibration chart that is supplied with Noise Ninja. I have even used Noise Ninja in conjunction with Optics Pro to suppress noise by two somewhat different methods.

This program is a must have for low light photography. I've saved many concert and night photos with this program.

Mostly I need this product for photos taken at high ISO in very poor lighting conditions, to wit jazz musicians playing in a cafe or similar setting with dimmed lights. Sometimes I use an ISO of 25,800. This means very serious noise. Noise Ninja removes nearly all noise with minimum loss of detail. It is extremely easy to use.

I have the Aperture version.
