Noels tools do not have a gradient removal too (that I'm aware of) I use Noels tools for some things, and they are useful..
GradientXterminator I've found produces better results when you apply the filter, then using "Edit -> Fade" you can fade the resulting effect to a reasonable level... I've never really gotten great results from GradientXterminator, but using the Fade tool, you can generally get something workable...
