Purpose: To fix the chromatic aberration (coloured fringes), reduce noise, and bring out a bit more detail.
How? Converted to LAB mode, selected A-channel applied GaussianBlur 4px, repeated with B-channel. Also reduces colour noise.
Loaded into NeatImage, used the top right hand area to create a noise profile. Filtered.
Sharpened using USM three passes on L channel: (10% 20px 0) (40% 1.2px 0) (20% 0.8px 0). Faded to 45% - could have used lower values, but I have that setup as an Action.
Ran a high-pass Sharpen: NewLayerViaCopy, HighPass 10px. Merge HardLight. (30%)
Finally if there were any fringes remaining, used CloneTool in Color mode to mop them up :)
I hope you like it!
