PictureCode Noise Ninja Pro v2.2.0b for Photoshop & v2.1.1 Standalone

Conventional image noise reduction tools use simplistic methods that remove too little noise, destroy too much detail, are only effective for certain types of images, or require the user to do too much work. By comparison, Noise Ninja is based on a powerful and robust mathematical approach called "wavelet theory". Wavelet theory is a cutting-edge technology for transforming images from pixels to a rich spatial-spectral representation that improves the ability to automatically identify and suppress noise at different frequencies, locations, and color channels.

Noise Ninja : The gold standard for image noise reduction
Don't let noise ruin your deadline Or your memories.

Most of the better commercial image noise reduction products available today rely on wavelet-style filtering (though most don't disclose this fact). However, depending on the particular tool and the image being filtered, they often have a tendency to introduce artifacts ranging from halos and speckles to edge blurring and color bleeding. This is usually most apparent around high-contrast edges in high-ISO images, and it is due to some inherent weaknesses of conventional wavelets.

By comparison, Noise Ninja uses a new, proprietary type of wavelet analysis that avoids these artifacts. Developed by a former professor of computer science, Noise Ninja's patent-pending algorithms yield an unprecedented combination of effectiveness and productivity for image noise removal.

High-quality results

Noise Ninja works remarkably better than alternatives. Users commonly report a two-stop improvement in effective image quality. In some cases, the results are nothing short of amazing. Noise Ninja generally avoids the "plastic" look and artifacts that other tools tend to produce, instead leaving a natural, photographic look to the image. The high quality of filtering in Noise Ninja means that you can get more out of your camera. If you're a professional, you'll have more confidence that you can deliver a usable shot to your editor or client in difficult conditions, and you'll save shots that might have otherwise been destined for the digital trash bin. For low-ISO shots, you'll be able to make bigger enlargements before noise becomes problematic. Many professionals routinely filter low-ISO images with Noise Ninja to prepare them for enlargement.

High productivity

While Noise Ninja allows fine control over filtering, it is particularly targeted at photographers who want to get in, get results, and get out quickly. Automatic profiling, automatic profile loading, and other conveniences accelerate the work cycle. The filter controls yield good results without endless tweaking. And execution is highly optimized for speed. The net result is high productivity so you can spend more time doing other things.

Easy to use

Despite it's sophistication, Noise Ninja is so easy to use that anyone can obtain professional-quality results. Filtering is as simple as moving a slider. A real-time preview window provides instant feedback when you make adjustments, so you can quickly obtain the results that you want. Once you are satisfied with your adjustments, you simply push a button and Noise Ninja filters the entire image.

High-fidelity processing

All images are represented internally using 16 bits per color channel (48 bits per pixel). All filtering is performed using 32-bit floating point arithmetic for each channel. This high-precision processing yields maximum image quality for raw camera images and high-bit-depth film scans, and it minimizes image degradation in a professional workflow.
