Help please with taming the Wolf

I got some reasonable HA and RGB data on SL17 the Wolf nebula while at astrofest.

I have spent 4 hours today with Pixinsight and basically got nowhere with it. I think what I need to do is use the Ha data to get a red emission nebula look and then make the Ha stars look small but normal using the RGB data. My inspiration is the image Paul Haese did a while back.

I don't expect mine to achieve that standard but that is what I was aiming for.

I can't find a tute anywhere to help me. The combinations I do all end up with a heap of stars and not sufficient nebula to properly define the dark nebula that is the wolf, even though there is strong Ha data there.

Any tips on the order of the processes I should be using to get that effect?

Cheers
Brett
