Re: I think my images are going well until I try to color them in the color module

Interesting discussion.
So Ivo, I've probably seen this before, but good to know again I guess -- in these scenarios in Color module the R, G, and B sliders are locked to the filters/elements they were loaded as in composite, i.e. S, H, and O. So even if the mapping is a blended channel, let's say R = 20% SII, 80% Ha, reducing R bias doesn't reduce red per se, but actually Ha, wherever it may be used at?
Thus, again regardless of the mapping to create different colors, if say OP really wanted to reveal what's going on with his SII and it's coloring, he would likely keep R bias reduction minimized, and perhaps throttle back on pesky Ha (G)?
Anyway, Xonefs I do like what you were doing with the Contrast module. I realize I have very much been underusing it, and probably overusing HDR to make up for it. I will have to keep in mind Ivo's remarks about whittling away at the details large-medium-small.
Your SII alone as mono really does have great detail. Which "cloud" structures were you referring to, however? Taking a guess, in the HDR I backed off on the shadow boosting but upped the highlight boosting, adjusting other parameters as needed (including backing off the gamma smooth). To me, this seemed to help show the bright edges which often helps reveal cloud structure. Of course it all depends, some structures might reveal better in the shadows I suppose.
Here was a screenshot of the latest playing around with it, where my intent actually was to start trying to show off your SII cloudy detail. Not sure how well I succeeded? Scaled way down, but seemed to look pretty cool on the screen in ST. Will scope out your example a-bin links too.
Edit: Sharpen may help too? I didn't use any here.
