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, APP staff
I currently use STC duo narrowband to produce narrowband images from QHY10. APP performs very well in most of RGB images. However, when I extracted and combined H-alpha and OIII in combine RGB tool, there was an ugly amp glow near the upper right hand in OIII channel which severely affected the final images. The adaptive pedestal/amp glow removal could not do anything to this amp glow. Although it can be fixed with photoshop in some degree, it would be better to be fixed from APP at first place.

Here is my image after retouch in Photoshop Lightroom
yes, you can clearly see it on the left hand side.
have you tried BPM which also takes into account amp glow and dark pixel clipping. or did you only select Adaptive data pedestal?
also im not sure if you have the very latest version.0.070 , i think.Â
