First, I have to ask if the red dots in the subject's hair are in fact jpeg artifacts?  The picture was taken with a sony digital camera. I'd like to hear any suggestions for getting rid of the annoying red dots.  I've already tried removing noise in each channel with noise, blur, and unsharp mask filters, and have seen some improvement, but not enough.  By the way, this picture looks a lot worse at full resolution.
