Two things: I think it is much easier to overlay a DIC image than a phase
contrast image; the phase image is often too dark to be able to see the
colors.
Secondly, can use "merge as a composite" and not "as an average" in
photoshop? I find that this method works best (however, I am using
Openlab to do the merge first, and photoshop to clean it up if necessary).
