Not a bad effort Steve. LRGB takes some work to do well. As you introduce the luminance to the RGB data, you'll commonly find the intensity will desaturated the colour. There are a few ways of counteracting this. Probably one I use regularly or injunction with other methods is to layer the luminance twice. The first time, drop the luminance opacity down to ~50% and flatten the image (this becomes as so called "superRGB" layer). Boost the colour saturation of this layer. Then paste the luminance again, but this time at ~90% opacity. You end up with an LLRGB composite. This process makes it easier to manage the colour saturation instead of tackling the situation introducing the luminance at 100%. Look forward to seeing more.
