Thanks, Troy. Small kids can get in the way of astro pursuits but they do grow up eventually

Solution I found was to do the individual stretching of the L and RGB, but then throw in some steps where I extract the CIEL from the RGB, then LinearFit it to the L, then combine it back into the RGB before the LRGBCombine of L and RGB. Rarely need to touch the lightness sliders when doing that because they're already matched.

Yeah, I've seen that done but never needed it myself. I always bin x1 so I guess my L and colour subs are reasonably compatible. A lot of the time I don't even need the sliders.
I have used LinearFit to match narrow band integrations where there is a big variation in intensity between Ha, OII and SII.

That's definitely the smart way to do it. You can also create a process icon by dragging from the HistoryExplorer after doing the first crop.
