How to Removing noise and grain from digital photographs

Noise Ninja is the most effective and productive solution for removing noise and grain from digital photographs and scanned film images. It is a must-have tool for anyone shooting in low-light or fast-action situations -- including news, sports, wedding, and event coverage -- where high ISO photography is required and the resulting noise compromises the image.

Noise Ninja often yields a two-stop improvement in effective image quality, while preserving important image detail. In addition, it can produce cleaner, smoother enlargements from low-ISO images. 

Noise Ninja plug-in for Photoshop

The plug-in version of Noise Ninja works as a convenient filter directly from within Photoshop, and it can be used in Photoshop actions.
