What noise software for Aperture?

[ding76uk]

As title really, looked at DFine, but begrudge paying 108 euros when on offer at $79:bang:.

So really boils down to Topaz denoise or Noise Ninja.

Topaz looks great, as does Noise Ninja, so opinions of which way to Jump are appreciated, especially if you have it for aperture.

Cheers in advance

Noiseware?

Don't think it works with Aperture? Wanting to keep as much PP as possible in Aperture, more for ease of getting shots out to clients quickly.

I've tried Topaz in a trial version of CS4 and the quality is excellent, mainly due to the minute adjustments you can make to chroma etc.

I use the stand alone version of Neat Image myself and prepare my own profiles but have to say that Topaz is just a tiny fraction ahead on a 100% crop but the difference really is miniscule.

I've no complaints about Noise Ninja.

Seems like it will be down to which I can get cheapest, does topaz offer more options than noise ninja? Also does topaz do camera profiles.

Give neat image a go its free for non commercial users and very cheap for commercial users

Cheers DM will give that a go. 4 to choose from now, and everyone suggesting something different. Any more to throw into the ring

Have installed Topaz on trial. Takes a little longer, but seems to deliver best results. Think that is the one I am going to go for now.

Next up sharpening tools. Looks like I need to save up some more.
