M1 LRGB

This is a LRGB image of M1 thru my C11,F6.3, with my ST7, L=1200,R=900, G=900, B=1200. I am processing with Photoshop but I am having trouble getting colors. Should I be processing the individual images (curves) to increase the color before I merge them? Thanks for any help, Tom

I can see a hint of color there. You cold try increasing the color saturation. But I think that maybe the issue is that the luminance channel is too bright; it is probably washing out the colors. Try a ligher hand at Levls and Curves on the luminance layer so that the core isn't so washed out. You should get better color that way.
