[Digikam-devel] [Digikam-users] New image editor noise reduction plugin...

[Gilles Caulier]

http://digikam3rdparty.free.fr/misc.tarballs/nr.diff

 I have fixed some settings limit to prevent crash, especially with advanced 
parameters, and fixed some uninitialized variable in memory (thanks Mr 
valgrind)
