I'm completely at a loss here. This problem
just started 2 nights ago, trying to work through a quick process on a friend's data.
The short description of the problem is this : Whenever I combine a processed L frame to a processed RGB frame, using LRGBCombination (L frame checked and selected, all others deselected) I get a result that more or less resembles this example, the result of processing Jim Misti's M27 data:

Very "blown out"...a "white haze" over everything.
This happens regardless of the data set I use, regardless of its source, and even using the most simplified workflow I can come up with.
The very frustrating and confusing thing is that this JUST STARTED. Approximately two weeks ago, I processed my IC 1805 data found at the bottom of
this page. The end result was as you see it on that page.
Since Saturday evening, processing the
exact same data leaves me with the result on the left of this image.

Now here's the TRULY confusing thing:
In an effort to help me try to identify what could be happening, Josh Lake posted a video
of him processing that exact same data. The image you see above is the result of me following his process step by step, right down to even manually typing in the Dynamic Crop values. My process was identical to Josh's in every way.
Again, this is happening with EVERY data set. Following the obsolete LRGB tutorial on Jim Misti's Sunflower Galaxy data gets me...

And so on.
It seems to me there must be some...setting? value? tweak? somewhere that has changed, but I've not changed anything in PI that I know of.
Any help would be appreciated.
