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 Mabula,
Thanks for releasing APP 1.61. !
Flat field calibration, is much better now, and I like the other big improvements also. 👍
So I know you must be very buzzy the past months..
But if you can find the time, I would be very happy if you can make the promised Calibration Star Color video tutorial.
I read the explanation over and over again, but I still just don' t feel comfortable with this tool. 🙄
After that, I' m start bugging you about a video tutorial of the HSL selective color tool, especially about the protecting the sky background function. 😉 😉
I don' t deny ... I like video tutorials..
Hi @betelgeuze,
Excellent, thank you for your feedback 😉
I will be creating more and new video tuturials in the coming weeks 😉 and that will include Star Color Calibration as well.
I think I can further improve the Star Color calibration tool as well, so that should also happen in due time...
Cheers,
Mabula
