long story short, i was a numbskull... was shooting in manual for bright stage lights (f/1, 1/125, 160) and then forgot to return to normal after the show.
as luck would have it, i have a few shots that i really quite like... when i worked on one of them, i was pretty amazed a how much detail i could recover (M8), but the artifacts were quite nasty -- especially on a face.
is there some sort of magic that can be worked? does normal noise reduction work in this instance? i've been playing around with different variants (using C1 and/or CS3), but haven't been successful.
i won't die if it can't be done, i'm just curious if anybody has been successful in case i get sloppy again in the future.
TIA.
