I haven't seen any improvements to it for a long time. How do others deal with noise in C1? I find it very lacking in comparison to other RAW converters. I get way better results with free RAW converters such as ACR than with C1. Am I the only one who finds it not up to par? Maybe you guys have some favorite settings that give you great results and can share?

But - frankly - none of them are in the same league as Photo Ninja ("PN"), in real high ISO situations.
Not even close.
PN's NR is every bit the equal of Optic Pro's PRIME, but takes the same time to apply as its standard NR (in fact, PN is faster than Optics Pro in every regard - but then, so is a glacier. I can - literally - open PN, navigate to an image, adjust and convert it, in the time it takes for Optics Pro to open).
You need to finesse the default settings to get the best out of PN, but - once done - the results are impossibly good, and render the likes of the (otherwise excellent) Topaz DeNoise, redundant.
But PN aside, I give Capture One the nod over Optics Pro and Lr/ACR.
Maggie needs to fill in some gaps here.

#2 - high ISO, short shutter. For some things a slow shutter or flash obviously won't work. Birds and other critters. I think after a while, you accept there's going to be some noise.

He only asked what would be the less noisy, so I took for granted that speed and moving subjects were not an issue. Sorry if I was wrong to assume that.

As someone who shoots with flash about 90% of the time noise isn't an issue. But, I have a question for those dealing with noise a lot........
Given the choice, and a tripod(!) do you....
1. Shoot low ISO and long shutter speed, or......?
2. High ISO and shorter shutter speed....?
In short, which is less noisy?
Thanks.

I would be photographing low light interiors.
So, I take it that native sensor ISO is the way to go.
Thanks.
