The astroflat Photoshop plugin is pretty good, I used to use it. I just moved over to PixInsight which I am getting really good results with.
I will give the hot pixel reduction a go. I am thinking if converting from RGB to Grayscale will produce noise in PixInsight because I need to do it to do an LRGB combination.
