    $30? That's really not a bad price, all things considered. Shooting a high ISO action shot will make the noise, and if you want to print it... it's just a pittance to get good prints rather than crappy ones. Print out 300 pictures, and you're only paying an extra $0.10 per picture. Is it worth it for sharp, bright, nice looking pictures? I'd say so.

    The download section for Neat Image states the following: "The Demo edition of Neat Image is distributed as freeware for non-commercial use." I found no further information on any limitations of the demo version and don't want to install the software just to find out. Can anyone who used the demo version explain if it has any limitations besides being intended for non-commercial use?

    in the demo version, you have to click "ok" every time the programs starts and and everything you finish editing a image, the programs closes - you have to reopen it for the second image you want to edit.
