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 - I have an urgent question that concerns a complex mosaic within a couple of days for a competition.
I have been trying to combine mono and DSLR data by splitting the calibrated DSLR frames and also exporting all the calibrated mono frames into separate folders I call "Red Cal", "Green Cal" and "Blue Cal".
This way I can quickly reintegrate them without having without having to find / select the calibration masters which is time consuming.
However when I do the integrations I am concerned that I am seeing messages relating to "Found Calibration Masters" or in some cases "Could not find calibration masters ... " - possibly because the calibration masters have been moved, deleted or recreated.
So my question is whether the saved calibrated files are stand alone images or do they need the original master calibration files in their original locations ?
I am concerned that I am not working with truly calibrated frames
thanks
What I would do is to process the RGB integration fully first, with their proper calibration frames. Then I would split the integrations into R, G and B. Mono data calibrated properly as well and integrated, then register and normalize all data and recombine.
