scubajoe:
It is a software (freeware) program that I use to remove digital noise from photos. The no-strobe shots are usually taken at a distance or with a wide angle lens. They tend to have "digital noise" that is more detectable in the clear water areas. After adjusting the pic in Photoshop I adjust it in the Helicon software and it usually helps clear up most of the noise. The program tends to soften the photo so I re-open it in Photoshop to see if it needs some additional sharpening. There are better programs (not free) out there that have plug-ins for cameras by brand names and models but I am satisfied with the Helicon one. I posted a comparison of a photo with and without HERE.
You can download it from their site HERE
The purchase program also takes out red-eye as well as make some other adjustments.
If you don't purchase either the "Home" or "Pro" version within 30 days it automatically becomes the free version which only corrects digital noise.
