PP in the right direction?

[Jimmy B]

In Canon's DPP software there is a deal for noise reduction on the RAW files. Here are 3 examples using it, am I going in the right direction
Thanks Jimmy B

These look better, but still a bit too much noise for me. I've never used DPP, but if you send me a RAW file, I'll show you what Noise Ninja can do.

Ok Tad I will send when I get home, files @ home.

Sorry for the delay Jimmy. The first one is just cropped in Camera RAW and the 2nd is after going through Noise Ninja and some minor sharpening. I certainly don't have NN mastered, but I at least have all of the camera profiles loaded so NN profiles each image based on the exif data.

There does seem to be more clarity in your PP shot could be I needed to sharpen more in mine? We should get together soon and do some side by side PP? I still have your wheel with the now loose rotor:-)
Thanks Jimmy B

I sent you an e-mail. I totally forgot about that wheel. It's just a spare now since I bought a fork with a 20mm thru axle.
