Looking for the best free “noise reduction” software

[SCOBAHCAN]

Hi

I am doing some stock photography and I have been recommended to quite a few noise reduction website's but I would like to find out not only which one is the best overall but also may have the following characteristics.

- is free to download and use.
- Is easy to use.
- Is reliable.

There are probably other questions I have to ask but I cannot think of them just now- so any other information would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks a lot Craig

Backing up a bit, why do you feel that you need noise reduction software? If you try to avoid noise at the shooting level and use your photo editor to get rid of any stray noise, then you should not need extra/external noise reduction software.
