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. Â Before I release it, I will make sure that everything is working properly and then I will release it.
Hi,
Â
Why is it now impossible to get less than 10% stretch on image??  The stretch slider has been changed lately and it is impossible to have less than 10% stretch on images.  It also impossible to save custom stretches.  This is a big blow.  I would have expected more options for stretching as new releases are coming out, not less.
Hi @tempusfugitxxii,
Nothing was changed in the preview filter regarding stretching options in the last couple of releases. We never provided the option to stretch less than 10%, really.
But you can always simply use the lowest stretch preset of 10% and then reduce further with the ST(retch) slider where you need to increase the ST value to reduce the stretch.
After the 2.0 stable release, the preview fitler will completely be updated/redesigned to make this all much simpler 😉 that is on our development path for sure.

Something was changed recently.  See picture 1 and 2 below.  The ST slider can be moved to the right to reduce the 10% stretch. That's Beta 12 version.
With the latest version, the ST slider is all the way to the right once the automatic 10% stretch has been applied. There is no way to lower the stretch from 10% by pushing the ST slider further to the right. See picture below.Â
The question I have is when has this change been implemented?  I will downgrade to the prior version.Â
Dear @tempusfugitxxii,
Thank you very much for the screenshots. I already know what is happening. Nothing is changed in APP with regard to stretching here. The image where ST:65535 indicates simply that 10% stretch is already achieved now without actually stretching. This must mean that you have loaded an already stretched image into the preview filter which does not need more stretching if you set it to 10% BG. Please double check if you are trying to stretch a linear image or an already stretched one ;-). You can check this by setting the stretch preset to "no stretch (data as is)". My guess is that the image you tried to stretch in beta 22/23Â will look almost identical without actually stretching ?
