Hi Alan - I routinely load single images, including best frames, into Keith's Image Stacker for 

pyramid Laplacian sharpening and wavelet noise reduction.  I find they give much better 

control than simple unsharp masking and Photoshop denoising.  That's very much the key to 

how I get the nice results from the Fire-i.


I agree it's bad to overdo both sharpening and noise reduction, but sometimes it's so hard to 

behave...

I also like the Laplacian tool in KIS - but I usually only use it if I 

am hand selecting and stacking the frames in this program.
