Thank you very much! I really was not expecting anything like that! What a nice touch. I read all the superb comments about your customer service on your web site but I read them with a grain of salt, I now see they are true.

I needed information on boots for a trip to Antarctica. The person who helped me over the phone was extremely informative with first hand knowledge on what we would need. The price of the boots was better than any other on-line site or any of our local stores. We were facing a deadline as to getting the boots in time for our trip but the NSN shipped them the quickest way possible. There was a problem with one set of boots and NSN paid for the return shipping and refunded our money---without any hassle!!!!! I strongly recommend them--for their knowledge, their products and their customer service!!

Introducing Dfine 2.0
Dfine 2.0 gives you unprecedented control over exactly how much and where to apply noise reduction. This makes it ultra-easy to eliminate noise in your images while maintaining detail and sharpness, thus improving the quality of every digital photo you take. Dfine 2.0 is designed to prevent the loss of detail other noise reduction tools often introduce.

What is Noise?
Virtually, all digital cameras inherently create unwanted imperfections known as noise. The amount or type of noise in an image typically depends on the quality and type of imaging sensor with which it was created.

Contrast (Luminance) Noise and Color (Chrominance) Noise can be individually present in an image or might be seen in the same image. Fast or high ISO speeds and low light levels can add noise to images, while some images might exhibit high levels of JPEG artifacts.

Please see the Specifications tab below for additional information, user guides, and training videos.

When purchasing an Academic version of this software you will need to prove your education status as an educator or student upon registering the software with Nik.

I had thought that using noise reduction in ACR was sufficient until I tried this. It cleaned up a particularly noisy under exposed night shot well enough that I could print it very large.

Advantages: Cleans up noise very well. Has lots of user adjustable features, but can be used with little or no knowledge.

Disadvantages: Like any noise reduction software you can over do it and loose detail.
