Isn't that the Big Question? I can't figure it out either! I do know
that there is a Preview mode in NeatImage that no one seems to have
mentioned. Once you have built (or loaded) your noise profile, go into
the Filter Settings tab. Make your preliminary settings, then draw a
selection around a small but critical portion of your image. NI will
then filter the selection and display the result! I forget how I
discovered this, and forgive me if you all already have found it, but it
saves a lot of time and grief.
