I downloaded and processed nef with cinepaint.  There is a lot of noise
but that is normal.  The settings are ISO 1600.  With such a high ISO
there is nothing abnormal about the image.

Also the shutter speed was 1/30 second, which is not terribly slow
but it will not guarantee the sharpest of photos either.

Unfortunately, there is something wrong with my comcast connection
and I cannot now post the results.  There are a 2 megabyte jpeg showing
the cinepaint result and a 22 kilobyte preview image that was extracted
from the nef.  I could email those directly to you if your email
server has no qualms about large attachments. Let me know.

The noise problem can be dealt with in many ways via post-processing.
One effective way is to use greycstoration:

http://cimg.sourceforge.net/greycstoration/

So there is nothing wrong with cinepaint.  The image appears
as it should appear.
