adding Ha to LRGB in Maxim

Can someone give me an idea of how I can stack my Ha data with my LRGB data in MaximDl?
I have tried to place the Ha with the red filter channel and it still stacks them separately.
I can't find a clear explanation on how to combine the data all together.
Cheers for your help.

One choice is to stack in DSS or some other program. DSS would certainly stack your L and Ha together if you tell it to.

I made a Maxim plugin that implements the Photoshop blending modes once upon a time. The equation used for each mode is displayed on the plugin dialog, see here for description of each:
http://www.simpelfilter.de/en/basics/mixmods.html

You can get the plugin here:

I haven't tried it with recent v5 release so YMMV.

My processing log for M82 contains (see below for the whole mess!):
a comment about using Pin light PSBlend of the HAlpha data with the red channel (after doing a Split Triclor on the LRGB), then redoing a color combine of the B+G channels + blended R channel.
Although now in Maxim v5 you can recombine color channels obtained from Split Tricolor using the Color Stack dialog.

The very old result can be seen here:
