| I have detail and adjust. Detail is more suitable for keeping it realistic looking, while adjust produces some cool effects. In moderation, adjust can be used to add some pop to an image. I find I've been using both of them on many shots. |

| I've recently bought both Adjust and Detail ... love them both ... each one has it's place depending on the look you're going for ... |

| I have both of those as well as DeNoise. I use all three frequently on the same image. I like Adjust for general exposure correction and color. I like Detail for everything else with the image. But I use DeNoise for noise removal as I like the way it works better than the other two. Almost never use Neat Image anymore since I purchased Topaz. |

I've contemplated trying the DeNoise, but was hesitant because I didn't know anyone who has used it ... since I like the other 2 so well and you're happy with DeNoise I might give it a shot ... thanks for the review ... do you have any before/after shots that use DeNoise that you can post? |

Add me to the list of users-of-all-3. I haven't touched Neat Image since I got DeNoise; it's head and shoulders better IMO. I echo what CEJ says about Adjust vs Detail. I frequently use both as well. Adjust is MUCH better at not artifacting edges.

My last 2 challenge entries and the one I have in voting right now all have been DeNoised. When I get home later tonight if I have time I will post the processed originals up to the point just before I denoised them. Most of the recent portfolio additions have been denoised as well.

Of course, I don't NEED DeNoise anymore, with the 5D, which has less noise at ISO 1600 than the 20D had at ISO 200...

Don't forget that you can try denoise for free first... I find the BEST results occur on photos that I have resized. On the larger photos - it does a great job of keeping a lot of the detail.

| I just got Detail and have been VERY happy with it. It does some great moderated things for how I've used it, and I've been especially impressed with what I've been able to do with it as a polisher for my HDR photos. It's also really nice for flowers and anything with lots of lines because it makes them pop quite nicely but not in nearly as insane of a manner as Adjust does. |
