Looking for the best free �noise reduction� software

[SCOBAHCAN]

Hi

I am doing some stock photography and I have been recommended to quite a few noise reduction website's but I would like to find out not only which one is the best overall but also may have the following characteristics.

- is free to download and use.
- Is easy to use.
- Is reliable.

There are probably other questions I have to ask but I cannot think of them just now- so any other information would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks a lot Craig

Let me see if I've understood you correctly Craig,

You want it to be:

"The best overall"
Easy to download & use
Reliable
and...Free!!

Tall order m8!

I use Neat Image but the free version only works with images up to 1024 x 1024 pixels so not much good for your stock photography.

Prices look reasonable http://www.neatimage.com/purchase.html but if you want something for free hopefully there will be another suggestion along soon....

You do not say which these sites are that have been recommended. I doubt if their products are free, though you can probably download a trial version or one with limited capabilities which you should do. Then you can try for yourself. Frankly its not good to take the word of another in these matters. If I was to suggest one, someone else would say another etc. See if you can find some reviews on NR software, that may help
