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,
This should be very straightforward, but...
Just starting to use narrowband filters, and after combining in Hubble palette I have an image in APP, but not matter how I save it, when I try to open the Tiff file in Photoshop, the image has disappeared, and been replaced by what looks like a single capture, with very little data.
What am I doing wrong, and when I press save, what settings should I choose?
I have enclosed screengrabs of what I see, and the saved file.
Â
thanks!

Hi Dara,
Are you using beta3 of APP 2.0? I'm not 100% sure, but I think there was a bug in an earlier version that may have had this. If you click on save on the right hand panel, have stretch enabled and select TIFF 16-/ or 32-bit, it should work
@vincent-modÂ
It's version 1.083.
Ah, I've already tried TIFF 16 and 32 with the same result. These are the settings when I save:
Â
So, what am I missing?
Thanks,
D
@daraobriain Saving stretched images only works in 2.0.0-beta3 and not in any of the other versions.Â
I'm suspecting it's the "linear data" ICC profile that is the issue. However, I just tried here and for me that option is ghosted, so if you can try to change that... 🙂
edit: And indeed, you may want to give beta 3 of APP 2.0 a go. It can be downloaded via the link on top of the forum.
