Higher ISO

Note that at least in this case, it's a Photoshop plugin, not an actual stand alone program, so you need Photoshop to be able to use it. Not sure about the other ones offhand.

In general, the most highly regarded NR solutions are DFine and Noise Ninja, but there are others...

Note that also I just did a quick blanket approach, but as DFine just returns a noise-removed layer to Photoshop, you can mask it and paint it in and out however you'd like, so you get a lot of control over how to apply the effect even after the plugin has done it's magic...

Thanks so much for taking the time with this issue!

This is why Photography.ca is my photographic e-home!

I have used them all as I am always pushing my ISO and underexposing... Dfine for my stuff seemed to leave the image too soft and didn't remove some of the noise. Noise Ninja seems to work the best for me... But they both have free trials.. Try em

I cannot speak for Canon products, but the D700 eliminates noise problems almost completely. I have routinely shot at ISO 4000 in an arena, and this last weekend the light at the skating competition I was working was terrible and I, reluctantly, pushed it up to 5000 to get a faster shutter speed.... loaded them on the PC and... no issues.... Got to love the newer technology!
