[Tig] noise removal

At the risk of being product centric...

I work on Film Master and it has a real good noise/grain manager. It's
possible
there someone around your area that has one, otherwise FTP the frames (if
theres not too many)
And I'll have a crack at them over here ;-)

It does a real good job of reducing noise/grain and you can specify the
channes bias.

Just a thought

A client has a "fix me"  shot during the era of HD production when  
protect the highlights was deemed the holy grail.    Its a two-shot  
master exposed for the window and not the talent.    Skintone  
highlights are below 28 IRE R, 18 IRE G, and 12 IRE B .     For those  
familiar with the camera, and the limitations, it was an early-ish  
F-900, before they really handled underexposure without too much  
noise.  We're 3 1/2 stops under exposed.

Through masking, I can match the color balance, but there is so much  
noise it doesn't inner-cut.      Any suggestions for removing noise  
in the blue channel without introducing fringing?   Plug-in for AE?    
Other suggestions?  There may be an eventual film out, which would  
help from a print stock/grain issue, but for now, it needs to be  
screened for distributors HDCAM.

Thanks in advance.
