Sorry for the late reply. I'm just now catching up on old posts. I did a quick & dirty test on a shot taken this afternoon at ISO 3200 using PS CS2 Noise Reduction filter & Neat Image v3.0 demo version (I know there is a more current version):
http://tinyurl.com/dqvtr <http://www.arach.net.au/~savage/Misc/Noise%20Test/Misc_008.htm> Very unscientific, I just tried to make them look alike, without sacrificing detail. No sharpening was applied to either image before, during or after the filter was used. My thoughts are that Neat Image is more "powerful" & tunable. I find it produces smoother results, but it is very easy to produce that fake plasticy look disliked by so many here if your not careful. PS CS2 on the other had, I find very difficult to push too far to get that same look. PS is good enough for me, but if I need more I can always give NI a whirl.
