Thanks Michele and Charles. Robert, there's so many good noise reduction/sharpening products out there that virtually a one click does the lot. I'm thinking DxO Photolab 6, ON1RAW, Topaz Photo AI which are the ones I've trialed. As to the eyes I very much doubt it!!

Robert, don't know if it's my monitor and whether others see this but sometimes your skies/background appear quite noisy and spoil what would be otherwise great shots??[viewing on a 32" BenQ 4K}
