2026-10-09 APP 2.0.0-beta48 has been released !
This is mainly a bug fix release for the reported bugs in beta47. In addition it has a significant User Interface performance improvement noticable when you need to process 1000s of images in APP.
2026-10-03 APP 2.0.0-beta47 has been released !
This is a very big release... many code optimizations/rewrites, many parts of APP are much faster and more precise, especially star analysis and registration are much faster ! Big mosaics will go much faster 🙂
And we introduce a new preview filter, which includes the new Adaptive Deep Sky Stretch and a General Levels Stretch, this has been long over due. The old preview filter (the panel on the right side to stretch and preview your data) has not been updated for a couple of years and it is a critical part of any APP session.
Adaptive Deep Sky Stretch or ADSS is a much more intuitive stretch algorithm. It is also color preserving (which is a great new addition in itself ! ) which means that the highlights are no longer bleached, color is maintained from the linear data while stretching. You can simply stretch your data using the sky background level and signal width sliders which work much easier and more intuitive. You no longer need to fiddle with the old complicated sliders with zoom buttons. All the zoom buttons for the sliders are made redundant. And you can enter slider values in the slider value fields yourself. I will make a youtube video in the coming days to explain and fully introduce ADSS. Once the video is ready, it will be highlighted on the forum.
RGB Combine upgrade !. The RGB Combine Tool has been rewritten mostly. The tool is faster and easier to use and most importantly, the Luminance slider to inject a luminance channel or channels into the RGB composite is now working correctly. It no longer bleaches the RGB colors. Combined with the new ADSS preview, you will get much better and easier great composites with great color! I will also explain this in a new youtube video.
Hi all,
Please download and install the latest APP version first before continuing.
Forum topic with download links (must be logged in) :

If the Trial license hasn't expired yet, you can click on the top left LICENSE button. This will pop-up a new window with your current license details. Just click on the button "enter new license code" of this pop-up window to install a new license.
If your old Trial license is expired and then start APP, you will get the notice that your license no longer is valid.
In the latest APP versions (1.054 and later), the old license file will be automatically removed in that case. So the next time that you start APP, it will ask for new license details. Fill in your new Renter's/Owner's license details and then you're upgraded.
If you still have trouble with upgrading APP to use the Renter or Owner License, please don't hesitate to contact me at support@astropixelprocessor.com
Kind regards,
Mabula

There has been a small error. I have had my own licence for a long time (owner's). I simply translated the previous post ( from Ariel Horacio Gaudio, @carlsagan) from Spanish to English in case you didn't understand it (I think Wouter was the only one who spoke Spanish among the administrators). The problem was with him (Ariel), not me. Sorry for the confusion.
@anofeles Thank you very much for the clarification, now everything is working, I really like this stacking program and it really gives me a lot of satisfaction.
