Oh yeah. It'll do good things for that image. Just be careful not to soften the hard details. Sometimes people select the background and export it as a separate image that goes through NeatImage, and then layer it back into the original. that's extreme usage though. Normal NI application on the entire shot will have a very positive effect.
I didn't play with it for very long because I found the selective gaussian blur in GIMP to be all I needed, so I won't be able to help you with settings. I'd suggest just going in and trying different things until you get an effect you like.

| It's worth downloading the instructions, they will help to understand exactly what should be set to where, and the results. But, yes, NI will help that picture. |

Just dupe your layer, apply NI, then add a layer mask and airbrush in/out areas as appropriate.

When using the trial version, keep in mind that it saves the results as a low quality jpeg, so introduces compression artifacts. To avoid that, you have to purchase the product. Then you can save as a high quality jpeg or, even better, a tiff.

I guess that assumes you have a NI PS plugin... Much easier than my original suggestion, but not an option for me since NI doesn't have a GIMP plugin. Adds a bit of extra import/export for me, but it's not really a big deal since I don't need to remove noise very often.
