Thanks dave.
I just finished reprocessing the avi that produced the image on the RIGHT (above).
This time, I used the netpbm tools to convert each frame of the avi into separate Red, Green and Blue channels (for each frame).
I then sent each set of BMP's through registax to create a "master red", "master green" and "master blue". I used mild wavelets at this step.
The red/green/blue masters were then brought into astraimage, where (individually) they had "Maximum" and LR deconvolution (5/2) applied. I then recombined the 3 colours into an RGB image.
I then did an unsharp mask, decreased gamma and decreased contrast.
It's a much smoother and more natural looking result. I'm definitely pleased with how it turned out, and it looks like this new processing method is the way to go.
