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.
New user, first time poster. I'm trying to process a Pleiades session. Canon 6D, 300MM, 800ISO for everything. One session. All calibration frames. I've run through processing multiple times, omitted bias, tried just lights and darks, tried different things, similar result every time. Crazy heavy vignetting as in the attached picture. #1 I would not expect that given the calibration frames. #2 LPC does not fix it. #3 Seems to work well on other sessions with the same setup that I have processed. What am I missing? Thanks in advance.
Maybe compare your calibration frames with previously successful sessions. Guessing, maybe the flats could have been at a different focal point. Also, for sure the same setup? I had bad vignetting that was actually due to light pollution created by extension tubes that were shinny on the inside surface - a once pristine optical system unwittingly ruined by cheap extension tubes. Good luck!
Were you able to resolve the vignetting?
