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.

I purchased an owners license yesterday but never got my license code and cannot find a way to discover it on the website. How can I please get it?
Good morning,
I have been running the software since 2021 with no issues. Yesterday, I upgraded several components in my computer after which I launched APP and was asked for my license code. I emailed support but have not yet received a reply.Â

Best Regards,

I purchased a renter's license. First, I was expecting a discount because I used the coupon from Ryan Voykin (DARKRANGERSINC-2024) which was supposed to be valid until the end of July. The message was something like "too many redemptions" so it did not accept the code, which was disappointing.
So, after having paid full price, I did not receive the license code. It has been almost 24 hours, and I sent two emails to support, but still, no license code. Yes, I did check the spam folder - there is no email from you. The charge for the purchase has already shown up on my bank statement, but still, no license code!

Hello,
I saw on the facebook page of APP a post about someone who also dont have a license code.
See here his reactionsÂ
I am a little worried whyno one of the admin response on the forums last time.Â
Hi, IMHO APP team don't exist any more ... It is completely incomprehensible to me that there has been no contact with anyone since February, especially since there are people who purchased a license at that time but did not receive an activation code.
Mabula's computer is always online. Hopefully nothing serious has happened to his health.
Hi, I am still to receive my Trial License code. I've just noticed that another member has the same name as me which is probably why I am not receiving the code. Received an email with the subject "Astro Pixel Processor TRIAL license request has been rejected"
Could you send me the code please. I just started in Astrophotography and would love to give this software a try before purchasing.
Thanks in advance 👍
