Re: [APML] Noise Reduction and LCD Monitors

Hi Chuck,
I've had the same experience when I switched to an LCD.
Unfortunately I think prints come out more like the LCD image
than the CRT. I too processed all my images to look 
good on a CRT so I can relate to your experience <g>.
Your new images processed with Noise Ninja look very 
smooth. I've used it also and find it to be a very good program.
