I have taken some high'ish 800 ISO pics on my D200 which is bothering me, so I wondered what program options are best at reducing this to a better level?

I have Photoshop CS and Capture NX2 but wondered if there any better options out there people here have used to good effect?

any help most appreciated

cheers

neat image is free and seems to work well in my so far limited experience
 
Post a sample and let the great folk on here do their best.
 
Noiseware community is free and very good.
 
HERE IS IMAGE

Oh yes, I use Noiseware Pro and seem to get good results from using it
 
I'd second the new beta of Lightroom 3. I've used NoiseNinja and Neat Image in the past, and while they *might* just edge it in ultimate quality, the speed of LR3 knocks them out of the park.
 
I'm currently using a trial version of Topaz Denoise 3, I'm impressed

i've always thought that noise adds a certain something to images, although i have to say the d40 noise was a lot less pretty on the eye than what i get out of my D300.

those pics above are worlds apart!
 
I use Noiseware Pro and find it great, in particular I like the speed of the plugin - I have tried others that seem to take an age to remove any noise.
 
Tried a few but settled on DeNoise, bought as part of the Topaz Bundle.
 
I recently tried Noiseware pro and Noise Ninja as trials versions (download both and try them, see what you think), my money went on Noiseware.

It's only free for small images at low colour depth.

I use Neat Image 6.0 on large images (3088 x 2056 pixels) and they work just fine! This is the free standalone version (no batch processing or Exif data). The free Photoshop plug-in version does have a limit on size so maybe you're referring to that?

Isn't the full sized image processing time limited (like 30 days or something)? Otherwise what's the point of paying for it...

I do have an older version of NeatImage (5.x) and it works very well. However having tries LR 3b2 (NR in LR 2 is not good really) - that one works very well together with their sharpening gets rid of noise very nicely. The beta if free so for OP - give it a try.

In a word, NO. There is no time limit. You get a few things disabled though.
Check HERE

Like what i said, with the free demo version you lose a few things. No Exif Data, no batch processing (only 2 images instead of 50). Once again to clarify - the reduced input size (1024 x 1024) is ONLY for the free PLUG-IN version for photoshop. You can still process FULL SIZE images like the 'paid' version on the free standalone version. I just save my edits as Jpegs from Photoshop and then reopen them in NeatImage for processing. Not a big deal as it's free!
