Happy 2nd, Denton!

Denton turned two on the seventh, unfortunately he's been sick since and tonight's been especially rough. I just got to uploading some of the pics off the camera, but just getting this one ready to post has been two hours of interruptions, running upstairs to comfort him every ten minutes or so. Poor little guy. Camilla's taking a turn with him, so I finally got time to finish the post.
Also.... hooray for noise reduction algorithms that work:

The original before running it through the little denoise plugin I've written for Gimp. Almost makes ISO 1600 useful :-)

It has a human-written (human readable) Makefile, you just need the Gimp's development packages installed.
The math is solid, but the preview dialog needs a few speed improvements (it recomputes all data on any change, that's not necessary) and no Help files yet.
The above was done using the low-light mode (assumes the most noticable noise is int he darkest areas, true of most DSLRs) and multiscale adjustment with the fine detail slider turned down about halfway.
