Here are two images, taken from the original RAW file, Exif Info 1/250, ISO 800, f4.6, D70+ 70-200 and a 1.7TC. Both images have had the same treatment in PS-CS and the one was run through Neat Image. The process is full automatic and the noise reduction is quite dramatic.
The program is free and can be downloaded from the net, provided you are not a commercial operation.
Try it and have some fun.

Cheers

Neatimage is an excellent tool for the JPEG shooter but it must be used with care and respect.

Noise is better reduced at the RAW conversion stage, Brian does your RAW converter have noise reduction? If so I would have thought it would have been camera specific and should do a better job.
