June 24 2026 APP 2.0.0-beta46 has been released !
Improved internal memory configuration (lower ! memory usage), fixed beta45 startup issue, fixed Set Save Directory & 2-panel mosaics.
May 27 2026 APP 2.0.0-beta45 has been released !
Fully Multi-Threaded LNC, many improvements for the registration engine, platform upgrade, and further tuning of internal memory consumption and memory release back to OS.
Apr 14 2026: Google Pay, Apple Pay & WeChat Pay added as payment options
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.
What is the recommendation to combine LRGB?
Every time I add luminance, the combined result shows up in grey. I have to reduce the weight of luminance to 0.192 to get a colour image.
What am I doing wrong?
Yes, I am new to monochrome.
Yes, in the current implementation the luminance does tend to have this effect, Mabula wants to improve on that. I use up to 30% usually to balance it better.
No something is broken with this, it should not consider L as a white layer, it should use it only to compute the new intensity for RGB based on the RGB values supplied, as a percentage of each, such as R / (R + G + B) * Lum for that pixel. The luminance is not just another "white" layer, its used to boost the intensity of RGB itself. This is not being computed properly. Its not working right if turning down L produces the correct result, as you're just going back to RGB not LRGB.
Hi Skye @skysong,
Okay, I have opened a new issue on my todo list to have a good look at the Luminance calculations to make the RGB composites in the RGB Combine Tool.
I know that this whitening effect is there, so I will definitely try to have this work better going forward 😉

Thank you so much Mabula!
Thank you Skye @skysong for being critical on this issue, I will make sure it will work better going forward.
