Noise Ninja is the most effective and productive solution for removing noise and grain from digital photographs and scanned film images. It is a must-have tool for anyone shooting in low-light or fast-action situations -- including news, sports, wedding, and event coverage -- where high ISO photography is required and the resulting noise compromises the image. Noise Ninja often yields a two-stop improvement in effective image quality, while preserving important image detail. In addition, it can produce cleaner, smoother enlargements from low-ISO images.

Best-of-breed technology Designed by a former professor of computer science, Noise Ninja is based on multiple patent-pending advances in a field of mathematics called "wavelet theory." This powerful, one-of-a-kind technology yields an unprecedented balance between noise suppression and detail preservation, achieving natural-looking results without artifacts. Competitive products often yield plastic or blurred results. Those based on conventional wavelets tend to introduce artifacts like halos, ringing, or color bleeding around high-contrast edges, or false edge artifacts in smooth areas.

Reliable, easy results Noise Ninja excels at getting you "in the ballpark" with default settings, and it responds gracefully and predictably to adjustments. This consistency is unmatched by other tools, which often respond erratically to different images and adjustments.

Greasemonkey Hacks can't help you with the imagination part, but it can provide the expert hacks-complete with the sample code-you need to turn your brainstorms into reality.

Few people know that a magnet can fire an energy burst several hundred times stronger than its base strength, again and again…that similar magnetic poles often attract, not repel…or that the patterns of iron filings around a magnet bear little resemblance to the force fields, which are actually spinning vortices. "Conventional magnetic theory and real magnetic theory are about as much alike as a Venetian Blind and a blind Venetian."

As the unofficial "father of spintronics," pioneer researcher Howard Johnson began investigating magnetism in 1942 as a graduate student at Vanderbilt University, studying Bohr's work on the electron. Several patents later, two other scientists -- the late Distinguished Professor Dr. Gerhard Beyer of Virginia Polytechnic Institute and Steve Davis -- joined him and together they broke some of the magnetic code, plotting real-time measurements of dynamical systems to reveal the startling behavior of magnetic vortices in action. In 1970 he and Dr. Beyer published these previously unknown properties of magnetism, just as they found them, in a short book, Discovering Magnetism. The book also describes Johnson's unique magnetic gate, the basis of his successful close-looped rotary magnetic motor.
