He recommends:
Noiseware Professional: This Photoshop plug-in works miracles when it comes to removing noise from a photo. Not only does it remove nearly all visible noise, it does it wtihout overly softening the photo. $69

I tried the big 3 -- Noise Ninja, Neat Image, and Noiseware. There
was no contest (for me) in ease of use and fantastic control, with
Noiseware, without the cost of the oversoftening I got with the others.
I went ahead and bought Noiseware Pro.
I agree that it's best just to sharpen the areas that need it.
Just read that going into LAB mode and sharpening the luminosity layer
will do nicely without affecting the colors. Haven't tried it though.
