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.
I just did my second processing and I have been very happy with the results. Â This time I did each step manually. Â Is it necessary to save after each step, ie for REGISTER, NORMALIZE, etc. before I move on to the next step? Â I seems like I ended up with more files written when I did this.
Thanks
It's not no, only when you choose to save them in between.
To expand on Vincent's answer, in general you can go from tab 1 straight to tab 6 and click the Integrate button. All steps in between will be executed automatically and you'll end up with the integration result. If you have loaded raw calibration frames in step 1 then the masters for those will be created and saved automatically as well.
Thanks for the replies. Â What I was concerned about was if when walking through manually that the next step required saved images from the previous step.
@seaquel47 As long as you don't shut down APP or load other images, the processed images of the intermediate steps will remain in memory so you can go through the steps one by one if you like.
