Noise Ninja <-- really good!!
 

Hi guys,

I love photography and for that I would like to present you a noise removal filter called Noise Ninja! 8)
Maybe some of you already know this filter, but man… this thing absolutely ROCKS! The results are AMAZING!
I believe it uses the same approach of an old photo “denoiser “ know from us called Neat Image, but I think Noise Ninja is better, faster, and easier to use.
I read 4 comparative reviews on the net and all of them choose Ninja Noise as the best denoiser at the moment.

:arrow: Take a look at these samples! 8O

:arrow: This one is a cut/resize I did from a sample (the original is 1648x2464 - 3mb) of this review:

:arrow: Check what this baby can do with a bad source like this one.
(I also did some contrast and color saturation correction in this one. The others are just with Noise Ninja filter)

Sorry for all those big images... :oops:
I just got exited with this new toy! :D
Here is the developer home page: http://www.picturecode.com/

Amazing!!!! 8O 8O 8O 8O 8O 8O 8O
Looks like an excellent tool for scanned newspapers and magazines! :D

It looks GREAT Muaddib.
The only down side I found is that the 1st 2 examples seamed a little bit too smoothed.
Is it tweakable in the smoothing features?
Where can I download it?
Thanks :D

EDIT: :oops: just found your link to the developper page :oops:
Anyway can you post a small script example?

Next step : decompose a video into pictures (easy with avisynth), remove noise with nija denoiser, and use the filtered picture back into an avisynth script.

You'll just need 200 GB to do a movie, but it's no really a big deal :-D

@ vmesquita
It's also excellent for digital photography!
I have a Canon Pro1 and the improvement that NoiseNinja do with my photos is amazing! I'm using very light settings, and the results are great!

@ rds_correia
Yes I agree that they are a bit too smoothed. But the source has some really ugly noise, and as I said, just the NoiseNinja filter was used on the 1st two samples (no sharpner).
And yes... the filter is completely configurable. You can even adjust color, chroma and luma filter separately.

What you mean about "script example" ? :roll:
There are many profiles for download (on the developer page) for almost all the most used cameras and scanners out there, that automatically configure the filter according the equipment you have.

@ Dialhot
I wish that could be true...
That would be really great! Especially because 200GB is turning to be quite common nowadays. :D
