Picturecode Releases Plug-In Version Of Noise Ninja

“Response to the Noise Ninja plug-in beta test was extremely positive,” remarks Jim Christian, founder of PictureCode. “The software was downloaded approximately 20,000 times, and we already have thousands of paying customers for it. We’re also seeing rapid adoption by first-tier newspapers, and it was used at the Superbowl yesterday. Now that the product is officially released, we expect accelerated adoption in all of our key market segments.”

Based on a proprietary breakthrough in mathematical wavelet denoising, the Noise Ninja plug-in offers a complete, best-of-breed noise reduction solution, with a suite of tools for analyzing and filtering image noise. It also provides extensive automation capabilities, including batch processing based on innovative “action policies”, automatic noise analysis, and automatic noise profile selection based on EXIF data.

The standalone version of Noise Ninja has also been updated to utilize some new technology from the plug-in, including a completely new automatic profiling algorithm and a more configurable automatic profile matcher. Both versions are available on Macintosh OS X and Microsoft Windows operating systems.

The plug-in is licensed in a bundle with the standalone application (in effect, the standalone application is included for free). The Pro Bundle license (.95) activates 16-bit images, batch processing, and multiprocessor. The Home Bundle (.95) supports 8-bit images and processing of individual images. Volume and student discounts are available.
