UPDATE FROM MABULA
I have had a very rough 2 months unfortunately health wise. I was struck 3x in a row with bacterial infections. The second infection occurred after a routine hospital checkup and I became very sick. I had to rest and take a lot of antibiotics. Once I was recovering and restarting work 1 month ago, I again became sick. The infection was not yet gone, so even more antibiotics and rest was needed. Needless to say, it took a lot of my energy and I needed a lot of rest.
Finally, the infection is really gone and my energy is coming back step-by-step now and I have started work again. I am terribly sorry to have kept you waiting for support. I will address all outstanding questions and e-mails step-by step and will be on the forum daily from today.
APP 2.0.0-beta47 will come soon as well, a lot of work was already completed before I became very ill, so the release is also nearly ready for you. Beta47 will be much faster actually. Many workflows will be more than 2x faster, mosaics can even be 10x faster than before because registration really received a major boost... all compared to beta46. Before I release it, I will make sure that everything is working properly and then I will release it.
Hello, i'm really new with APP, i have already success some stacks but i have fiew issues and questions. I hope you can share your knowlege and experience to solve my issues.
First of all, for the moment i live in Antarctica, so i have a bit of "light pollution" with southern lights, i think the stack may be a bit challenging. But i'm impressed by APP and his features, the stack is well control and the quality is good. (Better than Astap and DSS)
Because of southern lights and beautifull landscape, i like to shoot 360° panorama with a 40mm. This year i will try to improve my workflow, that's why i bought APP.
So there is my questions :
1°) In case of multisessions, sometimes i have a bit of foreground and for now i just crop it, but do we have the opportunity to mask it directly in APP like with a brush or something ?
2°) In my panoramas i have like 45 to 60 stacks to do, it's a long way... I tried DSS in the past, with stack by lots, it was awesome, once the process is started i just leave to come back fiew hours later and it's all done. Does APP have a hidden feature to stack by groups like DSS ?
3°) I was using PTGUI to stich all my panels wich is great, he allowed me to do really large mosaics. I bought APP specially for mosaics, because he's really good to stitch panels togethers with LNC and MBB even with different lenses.
But, like on this old topic "https://www.astropixelprocessor.com/community/main-forum/large-mosaics/", i have the same issue due to size limit :(. Is the limit still there or i missed something ? 😰
4°) Can we do a rejection on the mosaic to remove only airglow / aurora ? This could be usefull to work in a separate way the background with the milkyway, and to blend back airglow/aurora if needed. (Like a starless technique)
5°) For now, i use the mosaic tutorials of Mabula, they are really helpfull and great. Does the workflow in thoses tutorials is the same in 2024 ?
6°) There is a way to keep the settings when i save in TIFF ? Like to keep 32 bits + 300 DPI (for very large print)
Thank you for your help and advice !
Sorry my english isn't really great 🙁
