Thank you so very much
Have just quickly ran upstairs put the sd card back in my pc and loaded the raw files into ps (first thing i did when i got the camera was set it to shoot raw + jpg) and true to the link there are no hot pixels
I can sleep happy tonight
I have ran the pixel mapping function too.
