LRGB and Digital Development Processing
I am the inventor of LRGB composition and Digital Development Processing (DDP).
The now widely known LRGB method was developed by myself and Robert Dalby
in the UK in 1996. And we decided to name it "LRGB".
The DDP was developed by myself in 1995. Known around the world as DDP.

The following materials were introduced at ITS-98 (Imaging The Sky 1998)
held in Salem, Oregon, USA in 1998
.
