Test of dfine software - noise reduction. I went a little nuts in the lower left corner and probably elsewhere as well. I do not have a feel for it yet.

Hi Pavel,

I think that the top image suffers from a very noticeable reduction in sharpness. Have you look at the software from Noiseware:

I think that you can download a free demo copy that applies a watermark to photos. I tired it a while ago, and thought that it did a pretty good job with some jpegs I had taken at ISO 400 with a 4 MP Canon

Do not take my bad job as an indication of the software - I blew it and should not have posted it. Pavel

Hi, Pavel! Oddly, you recently advised me to refrain from experimenting with too many software items. Hmmm

How right you are. I could not resist. Hmmm. Pavel

Of the two I find I'm much more interested in the original. I don't mind the look of luminance noise, but I do find the lack of definition in the treated image to be bothersome. In my experience noise rarely shows in the final prints.

I agree Mathew. I should have never posted this. I just got carried away and I was incredibly heavy handed. Thanks Pavel
