Mar 28 2026 APP 2.0.0-beta40 will be released in 7 days.
It did take a long time to have the work finished on this and it will have a major performance boost of 30-50% over 2.0.0-beta39 from calibration to integration. We extensively optimized many critical parts of APP. All has been tested to guarantee correct optimizations. Drizzle and image resampling is much faster for instance, those modules have been completely rewritten. Much less memory usage. LNC 2.0 will be released which works much better and faster than LNC in it's current state. And more, all will be added to the release notes in the coming weeks...
Update on the 2.0.0 release & the full manual
We are getting close to the 2.0.0 stable release and the full manual. The manual will soon become available on the website and also in PDF format. Both versions will be identical and once released, will start to follow the APP release cycle and thus will stay up-to-date to the latest APP version.
Once 2.0.0 is released, the price for APP will increase. Owner's license holders will not need to pay an upgrade fee to use 2.0.0, neither do Renter's license holders.
Hi all,
I downloaded the latest version of APP (MacOS) and watched several videos. I loaded the flats/ darks (DNG, 10-15 each) and hit the calibrate tab #2. I checked the bad pixel map box in the left hand pane, but don't see the "calibrate" button at the bottom in my version and when I clicked the new tabs in the bottom (create Masters ......reassign Masters...etc.,) I am getting an error message. Any pointers would be appreciated.
Hi Gopal @gopalk,
I understand that somehow APP crashes on your DNGs when creating a BPM.
Perhaps you can share those DNGs files with me so I can check and solve what is going on?
You can upload them here:

What happens if you create a MasterFlat and MasterDark, without creating a BPM?
And what happens if you create a BPM from this MasterFlat and MasterDark?
Kind regards,
Mabula
