IC348 SHO Dynamic Narrowband Combination

According to Andre B. [ https://telescope.live/blog/dynamic-narrowband-combinations-pixelmath ] who in turns referred to The Coldest Night [ https://thecoldestnights.com/2020/06/pixinsight-dynamic-narrowband-combinations-with-pixelmath/ ] narrowband channels integration and combination is subjective and could not coincide with a simple channel combination of Sii Ha and Oiii masters within an RGB implementation, as also suggested by Edoardo Luca Radice during CEDIC 2019; cfr. “Creating near true color images for nebulae from narrow band data using PixInsight” [ http://www.arciereceleste.it/tutorial-pixinsight/cat-tutorial-eng/110-cedic19-art?fbclid=IwAR0ybmyfZCC8G2ykfgDavTpBY7tEjE_DhJOAeT_QM5gZpKSvAfSmiNOoznw ]
In my approach and attempt I used PixInSight > Pixelmath formula
R = (Oiii^~Oiii)Sii + ~(Oiii^~Oiii)Ha
G = ((OiiiHa)^~(OiiiHa))Ha + ~((OiiiHa)^~(OiiiHa))Oiii
B = Oiii
to generate IC348 integration and postproduction.

Stunning SHO narrowband data from Spain Takahashi FSQ-106EDX4.
Final integration of starless (Starnet2) nebula color background plus stars from Ha integration as luminance.
Postproduction by PixInSight and Photoshop.
JWST NIRCam starless and luminance approach for postprocessing
After processing James Webb Space Telescope raw calibrated .fit data focused about NGC2070 by Photoshop screen colorized blending layers, with colours assigned according to NIRCAM filters guideline (cfr.: https://jwst-docs.stsci.edu/jwst-near-infrared-camera ) I was able to obtain this preliminary result.
According to spectrum values indicated by NIRCAM filters guidelines I decided a different approach for postproduction, considering the lowest nm values as “blue” colour band, the middle nm values as green, and the highest nm as red channel for an RGB combination.
Using Pixelmath I thus combined in PixInSight f090W and f187N masters creating my blue channel, f200W and f335N as the green channel, and f444W master for red channel.
Being NIRCAM data results of very narrowband recordings, I approach such masters as a peculiar SHO integration, and decided to attempt a starless integration for nebula details and colours work, and final recomposition of starry image using star luminance layer.
Starless version of each master I obtained by PixInSight > Starnet2. Each master I then stretched and export as .tiff in Photoshop for contrast adjustement, star residual removing and hot pixels fixing.
In Photoshop I imported each master into pertinent RGB channel. Then I provide to contrast, saturation and Brightness adjustement layers and fix other pixels problem emerged from channels combination.
Starry NIRCAM f444W filter master as luminance was finally imported as upper layer in luminosity blending mode, while starless f444W master for starless version.
