Sigma 18-125mm f/3.5-5.6 DC for Canon

Hey,

last weekend I've been taking pictures for my assignment for my study.

One of them is very very nice, used the Urban Acid-action (cross-processing), but because of the very bad light in the situation of the photo (I had to use 1/20, ISO 1000) there's so much noise..
I can't show you guys the whole photo because of a simular challenge entry, but I can give you a 100% crop of the photo:

I can't use Neat Image because the demo only lets me neat a small part of the original size.
"Recuce noise" doesn't work the way I want it.

How will this be printed on 20 x 30 cm? too much noise? Any options?

If it's not MAAASSIVE you can email it to me, I'll neatimage it for you and email back, but depends on size...

You're welcome...

Tip for Neat Image, if you're not aware of it already, though I don't know if it's possible on the trial version - go to the neat image website and download the proper profiles for noise reduction for your particular camera body - at each ISO.

I find that using the relevant ISO noise profile and setting NI to remove only half the noise gives me exactly what I need in 99% of cases!

hmm. I've been looking at the NI-site, there's only a plug-in for PS, no stand-alone program. I'd have to buy it for a full pro-version, but that's a no-go.

tried Noiseware, same story..

somebody sent me a NI-version, I'm gonna edit the colors etc. and print them both, to see which one is the best.

me too :P

@ Karma: exactly. and a new lens ;)

the main thing is: normally I don't need NI because I usually work in very controlled situations, so I don't use high ISO's.
