Some fine-tuning tips:
• Digital Noise Removal is a great tool for cleaning up noise that can
result from merging photos.
• High Pass Sharpen can help reduce blurred areas that may result
from movement between photos.
• Smart Photo Fix and Color Balance let you tweak the colors.
• To brighten the entire image, try adjusting Brightness/Contrast. To
brighten only the dark areas, try Fill Light/Clarity.
• Local Tone Mapping and Fill Light/Clarity can be used to further
enhance details in the image.
