Hi there 

i have a few photos where the subject is a bit dark, so when I adjust it with levels I get the light back, but man I get a lot of noise in the photo

I tried the same photo in Apereture with the same result 

So I took the same photo and  I tried with a trial version of lightroom and Capture one 1 pro

and here I get no noise what so ever 

Since it is Nikon files is there some how or way to adjust the the Nikon profil in photo or apples raw converter 

i am running the last version of photo so the Raw converter up todate 

yes I know the lightroom and CO1 are pro software but a raw convert is still a converter
