Experience with Neat Image, Version 8.5

[Big_Stan]

Does anybody have experience with Neat Image Version 8.5?

Back in my PS days, Noiseware was my "go to" noise reduction plugin. Using Noiseware I could denoise by preset, tonal range & color range, as well as by noise frequency.  I have Noiseware, sort of working with AP, but the preview window looks weird.  Since Imagenomic explicitly states the they do not support AP, I am in the market for a good Noise Reduction plugin.  I shoot at fairly low ISOs and my shots are not too noisy.

Up til now I have not been particularly impressed with the Topaz AI products ( I like to do my own thing and not let the machine do the heavy lifting)

Have you looked at the DXO NIK Plugins?

Dfine 2 in version 2.3.1 now works great in Affinity: https://nikcollection.dxo.com

You can also download the free version here: https://nikcollection.dxo.com/nik-collection-2012/

firstdefence,

Thank you for the suggestion.

I used to use the original NIK plugins with AP, but when I changed to a new Mac (Catalina compatible) a couple of months ago, I was unable to get the NIK plugins to reinstall.

I guess it is time to drag it out again figure out why they wouldn't install.
