just loaded NI Pro+ into PSCS, and want to work on an existing Photoshop File. With the document open, I go to Filters / Neat Image and it opens what appears as a stand alone version and does not offer me the option of opening the PSD file that is already open, only jpeg, bit of tiff. I never save any of my RAW Files as anything other than a PSD file. I hope that I do not have to convert them all to tiffs to be able to proceed with the noise reduction.
Any tips on this process is Greatly Appreciated.
PSD Files
When you go to Filters / Neat Image and it opens, it is the plug-in, not standalone, and in the plug-in window you have the image that you apply the Neat Image filter to. If you open a RAW or PSD image in Photoshop and then open Neat Image plug-in then it is that RAW (or PSD) image that shows in the plug-in. You don't need to manually open the image in the plug-in, it is already there. You just have to prepare a noise profile, adjust the filter settings and apply the plug-in. That will apply the noise reduction to the image you opened in Photoshop. So, the plug-in basically works as any other Photoshop filter, like Unsharp Mask.
