Surprised they didn't try Imagenomic noiseware pro

Their conclusion is weak though, they don't actually recommend anything at all in the end. Just waffle about each one. Without properly detailed images to let us compare ourselves it's pretty pointless. This is an article about pixel-peeping so at least give us stuff to peep at!

I wondered about that as well. And I wondered if you would wonder about it.

The final sentence of the review:

"It might not have the image cataloguing of Lightroom, but if you’re after ultimate noise reduction control, DxO Optics Pro gets the nod."

Most of the applications were scored, but inexplicably not MacPhun Luminar. Agreed some examples would be useful, but all these applications are available on a free trial which gives people the opportunity to try for themselves. I doubt if anyone is going to buy solely on the basis of a review as there are other factors such as ease of use to consider besides effectiveness.
