Hi there,

I use the CS3 plugin ReDynaMix. I’m told there is a standalone 16 bit version. Where can I find it please?

Scott:

I’m another big Neat Image fan. Have used it for a couple of years. The auto profile feature works so well, I rarely have to do any tweaking.

Your books are great, and I wouldn’t miss a day of your blog.

I still can’t believe that you did not hear for Neat Image…..
Speechless.

I’m a regular reader of Pioneer Woman. She just cracks me up, and her photography is wonderful.

I’ve used Neat Image with my F31fd P&S on my Powerbook with CS3 for awhile. Works great for me, from what I’ve heard NI and Noise Ninja are comparable.

Color me surprised that you hadn’t heard of Neat Image before, either! I was introduced to it almost 2 years ago when I was lamenting to my local mom’s group about a problem with a photo I took. It was a great shot, but my old p & s had overheated & added some serious noise/interference/something into the shot. One of my photog mama friends recommended Neat Image and even showed me how much improved it looked after running it. I was shocked! (But in a good way.) I’ve used NI ever since. I’ve even got this same Neat Imaged photo printed out in my daughter’s baby book in a (roughly) 8 x 10 size, and you would never know by looking at it that there had been any problems. It remains one of my favorite pictures; I’m so thankful that there’s programs like Neat Image & Photoshop around.

Darn Scott - you have me worried. I have always enjoyed your blog and thought it was a source of great photo tips and information. But now I find out you have never heard of Neat Image!

It is kind of like finding out the auto mechanic I use and think the world of has never heard of a Ford…

Hi Scott,

Warning! This post has nothing to do with Neat Image, Noise Ninja, etc. but it is worth a quick read.

I came across this very cool Photoshop plugin call ReDynaMix HDR. The plugin sells for $16.00! Yes that’s right! And it is quite cool. If you’ve poked around with LucasArts like me, you will take an instant liking to this very clever piece of software.

I posted a small blurb and a “Before” and “After” image on my blog at http://michaelvandertol.blogspot.com/. Have a quick peek if you have the time.

Regards,

MikeV

P.S. I do not work for the company I’m just a photoshop-aholic!

I’ve been using Neat Image for about a year, when it was recommended slightly above Noise Ninja in one of my photography forums. What I like best about it is that it only takes a few clicks to “auto” run it and rarely do I need to do any tweaking… and it has tons of controls to tweak if you’re so inclined.

I’ve been using Neat for around a year now and I love it. I regularly use it for lots of different types of images and I’m very pleased with the results it gives me.
