Aperture opens up to Noise Ninja
PictureCode has released its popular noise-reduction application, Noise Ninja as a plug-in for Apple’s Aperture. Previously only available for Adobe Photoshop or as it’s own application, the Noise Ninja plug-in lets Aperture users make adjustments to their photos without the need to leave Aperture’s workflow.
For more information, and to download the plug-in, visit the Apple website.
From Apple’s website: About Noise Ninja
The most effective and productive solution for removing noise and grain from digital photographs and scanned film images. Widely used among professional and enthusiast photographers, 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.
