HI Brendan,

after processing the actual target, and considering what you were able to achieve even from a very small file, I am wondering if that is really all there is. So if you have a minute or two; would you mind inspecting the attached file and let me know what can be done to sqeeze out more detail without attracting more noise or processing artefacts?
I used a number of curves and level adjustement layers and a gaussian blur mask to get rid of noise. But beyond what I have attached the horsehead is either bright and detailed with lots of noise or as it is now (medium detail) with low noise. Is there another way?

IŽd be grateful for any useful advice...
