Tyler,

I use Neat Image Pro+; having the plugin for CS2 is great since you can use 
the History Brush to paint in the desired effect and amount where you want 
it.

But I find it difficult to see how you compare these programs, other than 
for usability. NI has literally millions of different settings that could be 
used. How do you choose which one to compare with which one of another 
program, or do you just use the default settings. Someone said NI can be too 
agressive. Well, it (and the others) can if you set all sliders high. But 
since there are 12 sliders that each vary from 0-100%, you can set them to 
taste, from no effect to millions of different effects. There are also more 
than a dozen different preset effects for starters!

As posted back then, we downloaded and tested demos of all the major
noise/grain plugins about a year ago.
Personlly, I thought the Noiseware filter was the best in terms of
image quality.
But Noise Ninja was a very close second, some people could not see the
difference, and had an interface that was easier and faster to learn
up front so we got it. They both beat out Neat Image, which was still
pretty good.
You can do as much bad as good with these filters...
