OT: noise reduction software

(Cross-posted)
Does anyone use the Helicon Filter Free 4.27 software to remove noise? How
are you satisfied with it (if you are using it)? Pros and cones?

I'm rather new to the digital photography and I'd like to learn how to use
the noise reduction software (noise tends to appear in my poor lightning
photographs, I'm still learning how to avoid it), and someone suggested to
use Noise Ninja, but before I actually purchase such a software, I'd like to
know if it's worth it, so I'd like to try with freeware first.

Anyway, I'd appreciate your suggestions. Thanks.

"Lightning" or "Lighting?"

Assuming you meant "lighting," if your camera allows it, choose a lower
"ASA number" and use a tripod or monopod.

For "Lightning," maybe you need to use film. I remember getting some
good slides with my old film camera on a tripod, with a cable release.
Most (all?) digital cameras don't have a Bulb setting, so aren't good
for lightning.

Sorry, yes, I meant lighting.
I'm using 50 ISO; tripod not yet, but planning to acquire one.
