What do you use to smooth out your photos or noise reduction program?

There's a noise reduction algorithm in RSE that is all I use now: there's so little noise with the CMOS sensor that I haven't found myself needing it much.

Neat Image or Xero's SuperSmoother; they behave slightly differently. Sometimes Gaussian Blur in PS on selected areas, it depends.

sorry but I don't know what RSE is?

I have Sony F828. Noisy to useless images at higher ISO. Noise Ninja and Neatimage fixes that.

There's another thread about it somewhere too.

I never use NR on images shot at ISO 200. A well lit 400 ISO usually gets to keep its well earned grain in the spirit of its ancestral film. ISO 800+ and badly exposed 400 get Bibble's built-in noise reduction applied judiciously. It works like a charm and saved me having to buy another tool.

I'm not a fan of the plastic look, so I try to "keep it real" and use as little NR as I can get away with.

If I had a sensor the size of yours I'd feel that way too :-)

PictureCooler is a free noise-reduction program for Windows.

I've only been using any kind of noise reduction for a couple of months now, and I don't use it all the time. When I do, I use as little as possible.

I used NI all the time on my 5400 - it was just useful to take away that background radiation, if you know what I mean.

I'd like to try Capture One, but it doesn't support the 350D files at the moment.
