Meet Photo Ninja

Remember Noise Ninja? The noise reduction app that sort of became the industry standard? The company has launched a new product that includes a new Noise Ninja engine, plus a slew of groundbreaking image adjustment features as a one-window raw development app.

I’ve been beta testing it for months and been blown away by its results. The headline: a magical highlight recovery and clever exposure adjustment tool that brings natural-looking images closer to that of our own eyes; highlights are well recovered without looking like bad HDR or pink discoloration, and shadows are noise-balanced by the legendary Noise Ninja.

This is an unprecedented achievement in raw development engine, surpassing any available tool on the market today with its unique proprietary algorithm developed by a photographer for photographers. I wonder why companies like Apple or Adobe don’t create raw engines this way.
