I was reading that the creators of Noise Ninja are supposedly "developing a powerful, differentiated raw converter" whose "image quality is indeed unprecedented" and provides noise reduction that is "a significant improvement over Noise Ninja." In fact, they claim that they've "been using early iterations of the software for months, and recently have switched to using only it for RAW conversion duties, so crisp and natural are the pictures it produces."

Just wondering what people use for noise reduction - do you just use photoshop, or an external RAW converter or a plugin to deal with noise? What methods do you prefer - are there certain workflows that work well for certain situations and applications?
