Austin, Texas (June 15, 2004)—Noise Ninja 2.0, the latest generation of PictureCode’s popular Noise Ninja image noise removal software, was officially released today. Notably, the new version is available for both Macintosh OS X and Windows platforms.

With the release of Noise Ninja 2.0, the Macintosh community can, for the first time, utilize state-of-the-art noise reduction in an efficient, native application. This allows a large number of professional photographers and news organizations to fill a significant gap in the digital workflow. Moreover, Noise Ninja 2.0 has been optimized to exploit high-performance capabilities of the PowerPC architecture.

Windows users will enjoy a range of improvements over Noise Ninja 1. The list of enhancements includes a threefold improvement in filtering speed, simplified automatic profiling, multiprocessor support, and numerous user interface refinements.

Noise Ninja 2.0 is available in two editions. The Professional edition, priced at US$69, supports 16-bit file output, batch processing, and multiprocessor support. The Home edition is priced at US$29, and it supports 8-bit output, processing of individual images, and single-processor execution.

Customers of Noise Ninja 1 can upgrade to the same edition of Noise Ninja 2.0 free of charge. A new license key is required and can be requested by email.
