David,
I'm afraid I have to agree with Iceman on this. The noise reduction has actually lost a lot of detail in the nebulosity. Perhaps that is due to the fact that you were working with a very compressed image. If it had been applied to Raymond's original, the result may have been more pleasing.
Now don't get me wrong, I use Noiseware myself and it has really helped my images. But you do have to be careful not to overdo it.
Cheers
