Noise reduction

[markyboy.1967]

folks, is Topaz Denoise still about the best noise reduction software for the price. Think it's about £50+ and don't want to buy if there's something better for the price. Thanks.

I think there is a free community version of Noiseware as well, so definitely worth trying out.

Here's a link to the Imagenomic site. Community (Standard) version is discontinued but cna still be downloaded free from near the bottom of the large panel on this page.

Ended up buying Topaz Denoise and im exploring all the settings but things are looking good so far.

One thing to look out for with Topaz Denoise, is that it can over sharpen if you are not subtle with the sliders.The "Reduce Blur" at the bottom in particular can easily be overdone.
One plugin I wouldnt be without though

Just looking at that Noiseware, does this work in Lightroom as the website seems to suggest so, but then when you go to the download section there is only a Photoshop/Elements download, no LR plugin, or am i missing something, or is the Plugin only available for the paid version
