A lot of it looks great, but the “chorus shots” of our boys, their faces, sometimes look over-processed…

But I don’t know the source so perhaps that’s to be expected with those shots? (Is this an artifact of de-noising…?)

I finally found a good blend of denoise that retains the detail.

Is noise really that much of a problem in the source?

I’m not out to poo poo on your results. They do look good! 😃 Just throwing out thoughts from looking closely at things as you seemed to say you wanted.
