I dunno about Moose but I just use the noise reduction panel in Camera
Raw... third one in marked with triangles. From the PS help file. Note
the part about zooming in to at least 100% when adjusting the noise (and
sharpening) sliders. Just noise covered here. Other noise reduction
software like Noise Ninja would work too.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Reduce noise
The Noise Reduction section of the Detail tab has controls for reducing
image noise, the extraneous visible artifacts that degrade image
quality. Image noise includes luminance (grayscale) noise, which makes
an image look grainy, and chroma (color) noise, which is visible as
colored artifacts in the image. Photos taken with high ISO speeds or
less-sophisticated digital cameras can have noticeable noise.
Note:
When making noise reduction adjustments, first zoom in on the preview
image to at least 100% to see the noise reduction previewed.
Adjusting the Color and Color Detail sliders reduces chroma noise while
preserving color detail (lower right).
Note:
If the Luminance Detail, Luminance Contrast, and Color Detail sliders
are dimmed, click the Update To Current Process (2012) button in the
lower-right corner of the image.
Luminance
Reduces luminance noise.
Luminance Detail
Controls the luminance noise threshold. Useful for noisy photos. Higher
values preserve more detail but can produce noisier results. Lower
values produce cleaner results but also remove some detail.
Luminance Contrast
Controls the luminance contrast. Useful for noisy photos. Higher values
preserve contrast but can produce noisy blotches or mottling. Lower
values produce smoother results but can also have less contrast.
Color
Reduces color noise.
Color Detail
Controls the color noise threshold. Higher values protect thin, detailed
color edges but can result in color specking. Lower values remove color
speckles but can result in color bleeding.
