I own Noise Ninja from back in the D70 days. Noiseware or Neat Image seem just as capable options. However, these days with the latest DX and most notably FX CMOS sensors from Canon and Nikon, coupled with proper exposure, and little to no in camera sharpening I find I rarely use Noise Reduction software accept when pushing the extremes to beyond 6400 ISO. Even then, I've come to only attack chroma noise and leave any lumi noise as is. Shooting and working in RAW and non destructive formats (eg not JPG) until the final edits for web or print also helps control noise tremendously.

I use NeatImage as well. Unfortunately, the Rebel XTi I use has a sensor that seems to love the shit out of creating noise even at 1600 iso. NeatImage is amazing, and I love it, but I have to kill lumi channel noise hard, which if I push it too far, will make the entire picture really really soft. It's tough to get a balance but it helps out. I'm figuring new techniques in Photoshop to cut back on backgroun noise (godlove the blur tool), but I'm sticking with NI for now. I was wondering what you folks use if anything, because I know, specifically Canon's 5D MK 2 sensor peforms pretty fucking amazing at even 3200 ISO with little or no noise, and wondering if the Nikons ya'll use were the same. I'm hoping the Canon 7D is going to perfom just as well. You're preaching to the choir about RAW vs JPEG though. I have done some AMAZING things with my Mindflow pics that would've been impossible with jpeg.
@ Pikatchus, thanks, I think you're going to love some of the stuff I've got coming.

I don't know how you guys get these done so fast. One full day and one partial night and I'm only about 80% through one band. Yeech.
There's always one image you see on your camera that you see and think "Damn, that better look as good on my computer as it does in my camera...

Haha! I'd believe it! Ahh, if only someone would lock ME in a dungeon and let me finish, I'd have an excuse to not go to work. You're lucky.

I have been trying to think of one for so long, and this just came to me out of nowhere one night lol. Now I just need a website, a logo, and some talent.

I know I seem to be uploading only shots of Ricardo of Mindflow, but it's all I've got handy. I should have the rest of them up tonight.

My pictures of Mindflow from the show...
J-Man enjoying the show (as he should!)
Not the best photos, but not bad considering I'm not an expert at concert photos.

My goodness how do you get those colors to be so vivid??????
I don't do any editing to my photos I suck at editing. I just make them a little lighter or darker as needed.
