Introduction There are only two contenders in the noise wars (IMHO) – DXO Photo Lab and Topaz DeNoise/Photo AI.

I came across Photo Ninja when I was looking for an image noise removal program. I had used Noise Ninja many years ago, with good results, but had stopped using it because DXO is so good at removing image noise from RAW files.
