![]() If Noise Ninja does a better job, that's something I'll look into if they have a demo or their latest version. Same sequence for noisy images, except I add the Prime NR.įor low/medium noise, I've found LR to be more than adequate. No adjustments in OP10, just an immediate export back to LR in DNG format. ![]() If the image is a landscape shot that benefits from OP10's camera/lens profiling (eg, sharper center with better color and less edge distortion), it immediately gets exported from LR to OP10. I generally use LR for the heavy PP lifting. Not having used Photo Ninja, I can't really comment on it's RAW converter vs. The only program that I have found that even approaches PN's quality is Iridient Developer (Mac only), but it has an even more limited feature set, and noise reduction is mediocre. Otherwise, PN does a much better job than DxO overall. However, this is only relevant for very noisy images. Noise Ninja is very good, but not as good as DxO Prime. My feeling is that even though Photo Ninja is still on version 1, there are no other programs that can match it regardless of how frequently they may issue updates. Oh, and OP10 also has the best lens/camera profiles in the business, making it an ideal RAW convertor. Nobody else offers lens/noise profiles specific camera AND specific lenses FOR those cameras. I can only assume you haven't tried OP10. One update a year, if you're lucky? No thanks. And what can we say about Picturecode's support for their flagship product. In fact, LR's native NR does a better job. My conclusion - PN is not even close to DxO. If it was difficult or esoteric, that wouldn't speak very well for the application, would it? In spite of your patronizing comment, it's not rocket science figuring out "how to use properly". It embarrasses Optics Pro's PRIME NR, and is as quick as the "standard" NR to apply. Then you either haven't tried Photo Ninja, or haven't figured out how to use it properly. There is nothing that comes close to DxO's Prime NR.
