Hi Rose,

you have to deselect 'Create Composite' if you want to have a single  
RGB image.
Note that the size of an RGB image is not the same as that of the  
original image, tough: E.g., if you merge 8-bit images, 1 MB each,  
the RGB will have 4 MB.

(by the way, not everyone on the list is named Peter ;-)
