The neat image is fine. The picture itself is murky, needs some work with levels/curves IMO.

Looks good. I would go back and apply a slight USM to the image (or maybe jsut the bald guy) just to regain some clarity.
I ran it through for you.
USM is as follows:
Amount: 265%
Radius: 0.3
Threshold: 1
If you have any questions feel free to ask,

Since CS2, I haven't even used NI. CS2 has some very good tools for noise reduction. When an image is real bad, I prefer manually fixing it, 1000-1600% zoom, manual blur tool. As an exmaple, I was fixing an old, heavily compressed Sony Mavica 1.2MP shot the other day, no noise reduction software used:
Open each from the thumbnail, and switch between them in the taskbar:

Just takes patience...

| I've looked at both images and see no difference. Do you need neat image to see a differenct? I know with nearly all the pictures I look at in DP, I hardly ever see any grain or noise, yet everybody seems to see it with my images. Must be my monitor. |

Looks like the Neat image removed most of the noise...

Look at the mountain in the background and closely at the skin. The mountains have a lot of greenish noise whereas the skin doesn't look very smooth in the original.
The mountain and skin looks much better in the edited version. At least, that is what I see.

Great work with PS CS2. Did you use a mask or just blur? AND ... is the last girl goosing the 3rd girl, it looks like they are having far to much fun. ;)
