Good free/cheap noise reduction plugin for CS2?

[crystal_lynn]

I have a few photos that I really like, but they have a lot of noise. I have tried the filters built into CS2 and a plugin called denoise. I see little/no effect on the photos.

Please recommend a free or inexpensive noise reduction for CS2.

Thanks,
Crystal

P.S. Please no posts about taking better photos to begin with, I already get that.

I know you asked about a free or cheap one, but I recommend you spend the money on Neat Image. Neat Image is a lot better than the default CS2 noise filter. Most CS2 filters provide disappointing results. Adobe has done better with the CS3 filters though. If you do decide to get it, get the Pro + edition. Should be around $75.00.

I like neat image. If you want to see how good it will work on your images, please post 1 or 2 of your image. Give us the permission to exit them. I will run the neat image over it and post it back here. Probably some other members using other software can post their results of the same. We can compare the results.
