Starting with NI Demo - Great but ...

[Rilo]

Hi everybody,

I'm new to NI, just tried it out several times for my Fuji Finepix S602
(can recommend it !) - and it works fine with the demo-version.
The only thing I didn't yet understand is the filter profiling job.
When I do rough filtering, is it important to select and scan different
areas of flat noise (with different luminance) or is the last analysis
of rough filtering taken in account. Im not sure wiht the documentation
in this point.

Of cause I would like to have a Plug-In to Photo Shop e.g. but cant
really understand that I should purchase a Pro+ Version there for.
I dont need the other features so much (altough helpful) - is there some
other way (byside searching, hacking ....).

By the way it seems that I found a little bug - when opening a jpg-Image
which is in CYMK-mode NI cant read it. Thats o.k. When I then try to open
the RGB-changed jpg-Image, sometimes NI doesnt respond. Sometimes it shows a pointer conflict and dies. Somebody else experienced that problem yet ?

Thanks anyway -
its a great Tool for digital photographs !

Actually you only need one such area for rough noise analysis. Rough noise analysis is done once; fine-tuning analysis can be done on several more areas (or instead you can just use auto fine-tuning).

To support our hard work, for example.

Could you post an RGB JPEG image that makes NI fail? - If there is a bug in the software, this image would help to find and fix it.

Thank you,

If I can replicate the problem I'll send you the RGB-jpg-Image.
But its quite large.

Im thinking of purchasing a pro or so version .

I think you should do more advertising - I did't hear about that
wonderful tool so far. I got the hint from a photo-freak homepage
http://www.fiedler-christian.de/?CFID=1 ... N=46570329
by the way.

But I told my friends yet !
Should I post it on some SAP user-forums ?
(You know that big software company in walldorf, Germany ?)

Thanks and

Thank you, I would appreciate a sample JPEG.

You are right about advertising - we do not push it. Probably we have to do this more.

Thank you for telling your friends. It is the community and people like you who help us the most to make Neat Image better.

Happy holidays!

Hi Vlad,

you are quicker with your answers than I with my questions -
thats a service !

Sorry, I just tried to reproduce the pointer-problem with NI but I
deleted the intermediate imagefiles already. I tried again, but NI
worked fine. The problem appeared when I selected only the sky from
a CMYK-mode image in photoshop to do the noise equalization separately
from other details. After I had tried to bring this to NI, and the answer that
this format couldnt be read appeared, I changed the same image from
CMYK to RGB, tried again to import to NI and the problem appeared.

If you like I can send you both, the original and the filtered image, but
I'm afraid that would nt realy help you to find bugs.

I'll ring again, when something like that happens.

Thanks a lot !
