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.

This image will be the final of the specific 6D. As it turns out, the improper modding of it, caused these huge halos and flairs, which until now I thought were due to optics.
Super nice! The old 6D is still a very good camera, I still use it. I also have halo's, but mainly in my OIII filters from Baader, so I'm still suspecting those.

Hi, Vincent, thank you!
I went back and checked photos with the same lenses used with my stock 6D, also a modified 60D which was sent to Lifepixel, none exhibited these flairs and halos. All of them were shot with no filters (just plain full spectrum images). I used this faulty 6D with 3 different optics (100 Macro 2.8 L / 70-200 2.8 II L / Redcat 51) and all showed the same problems.
This specific modded Canon 6D is a loaner, belongs to a friend, he had someone do the mod, but apparently there's some issue there. I won't be using it again, though the 6D sensor overall is a great one.
Ah, no filters even, well that makes the mod an immediate suspect indeed. Thanks for sharing the results nonetheless, love them!
