Interesting, I might give DSS a shot as I have it.

Ok, I've only tried CCDSoft (which is very old school in this regard) and Photoshop.

No Greg, not stacking all the LRGB in one
Stacking, scaling, combining, colour combining. Looking for the easiest way to do all the steps required, as it always seems like an enormous chore to me, and I never end up with good colour balance. (see NGC 4945 example in the Deep Sky forum now).
