Sigma SD14 Test Sequence
Having seen the dramatic noise reduction possible with SD14 images using Noiseware, the ISO crop test for the SD14 was run again, with both crops and full images processed with Noiseware. Individual images processed in times from less than a second for smaller images to 4 seconds for the largest in this sample. Batch processing is also supported in the Standard and Pro versions, which are definitely recommended if you plan to make a habit of processing your pictures.

Thanks for the article, noise is certainly always a problem in digital photography. I've messed around with different noise-reduction methods via Photoshop itself, as well as a plugin called Noise Ninja which usually worked pretty well for myself. All in all it takes some patience and tinkering to ever get it perfect. :) Perhaps I shall look into the mentioned program as well.
