Thanks Lee.

2 things:

1) Proper calibration with dark frames (no flats yet). But this required me to convert everything to TIF's first. Maybe it's not necessary but for the moment it gave me the best result.
I convert all my CR2's to TIF's, average my darks into a master dark, and then use "Calibrate Files" to calibrate all the lights with the master dark.
I then use those files as input to the normal TSR and Combine.

2) DDP in IP. I start with "Auto" but then use the Histogram to tweak the values/sliders and avoid clipping.

I save it as a TIF and bring it into Photoshop for noise reduction, gradient removal, curves, saturation and levels.
