Gananoque Restaurant - A2 crop noise reduced

100% view. Same as the previous image except run through one pass of Noise Ninja using Full Auto Profile, which reduced quite a bit of the image noise without obvious loss of detail (beyond what the high noise level lost itself originally) and without the plastic look often produced by noise reduction. It also changed the noise from looking coarse and digital to something better, looking more like film grain.

Considering the demanding shooting circumstances and the small sensor of the A2, in my opinion this noise-reduced file would be acceptable for many applications.

Konica-Minolta DiMAGE A2
1/10s f/5.6 at 37.1mm iso800 full exif
