You could try NoiseWare Community Edition (Standalone):

Is free, at the bottom of the page.

Phil,

I use 'Neat Image'

I downloaded the free trial version over 12 months ago and it still works!!!

For critical work you really need one of the paid programs.. recommend either Neat Image or Noise Ninja.. If I remember correctly the evaluation copy of Neat Image will not allow you to save a full res copy.. I use Noise Ninja here but as usual with these programs, they take a bit of learning..

Ahhhh, that's why it will only save as a JPEG!!!

Doesn't bother me as I convert everything to JPEG anyway, it is doing it for me

Here is a snapshot of what comes up when I open neat Image Free Trial version 5.1

It's free as long as I don't use it commercially

Yeah but.. it will only let you save a highly compressed version, ok for the web I suppose but for high quality output not quite the real deal. Nobody would buy the full version otherwise.. except me maybe

I try and avoid noise progy's as much as possible and if I have to, I use Neat Image.
I just hate the plastic look they all give astro images if they're over-used.

If anything try Noise Ninja, I've read it's the best but I've yet to try it.

I put all my noisy McNaught pics through Neat Image, they came up pretty good.
