Hi,

I've got some images taken using my camera phone. the resolution is 1 MP, but the phone has got very poor ability taking pictures indoors or at night.

The images taken in these conditions seem to be speckly and affected by 'noise'.

One of you guys may know more about what is happening here than I do.

I guess I need an image maipulation program that has a 'noise filter' - but I could be wrong.

Obviously, I have iPhoto 5 - but I don't think that can do the job (unless someone knows better.)

I'm looking for a freeware app that can help me.

Any suggestions greatfully received.

Thank you

I don't know of any dedicated freeware apps that fit the bill. And other the GraphicConverter and The Gimp (in X Windows), I don't know of any other low-cost/free image manipulators. You may want to try Photoshop Elements (you can get it over at Purplus Software).

Anyone know if Photoshop Elements 3.0 fits the bill?
