Face Recovery removes beard

The Recover Face gives the bass playing subject a shave. The original Fujifilm RAF (H2 40mp) is noisy at ISO 6400 but noise reduction retains the beard and works w/o face recovery. There is a slight movement but it is different for different body parts so not correctable.
Other pictures in this series have different issues so batch processing is not suitable.

Hello.

What I would do is reduce the Recover Faces to 20 percent. Then unmask the bearded area in the Denoise section and then add another Sharpen to just the bearded area.

Hope this works for you. Regards…
