Most digital cameras produce color noise in the images, the amount dependent on several factors including: temperature, iso setting, length of exposure, etc.
The camera's builtin noise reduction algorithms usually do a fair job, but sometimes the image is so noisy that it is almost useless. NeatImage or other noise reduction software is an essential tool for the digital darkroom.
Many DPC members use this type software and it is allowed under current DPC rules.
