no, i don't have photoshop yet so that's why i was looking for a standalone. noise ninja has worked pretty well so far, but the first thing i did notice is that is that the pictures lost a little sharpness if i went too far. Even using it minimally, it improved my concert pictures.
when i get photoshop, i'll get the noiseware plugin, but in the meantime, noise ninja is fine for what i'm doing........which is learning a lot
re: KU vs MU ..... going to be a great game!
