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, I was watching the tutorial at https://www.astropixelprocessor.com/a-dslr-data-calibration-workflow/ which shows a different workflow for calibrating dslr data. Here is my summary of the video:
1. create BPM from darks + flats
2. create master flat: flats+bias+bpm(add to list as a light)
3. create master darks: only darks, no bias
4. Now use lights + master flat + master darks + BPM: Calibrate, Analyze stars, Register
5. Look in the files table below at Registration RMS. See that the error is very small (smaller than a pixel), otherwise "Distortion correction" may be selected
6. Normalize and Integrate
The video is about 2 years old, and I read in another thread that a lot of the calibration engine have changed.
My question: is this still the preferred way of calibrating dslr data? Or can we simply add all lights, flats, darks, biases and our yearly (camera specific) BPM to the file list and APP will take care of the rest?
Thanks!
I usually just add all calibration subs together and press "create masters" and switch on to create the BPM as well. 🙂 Works fine. That routine has been optimized since that workflow to be easier. A new tutorial, written, is in the works.

Glad to hear that! So no need to redo my pictures now 🙂
Thanks for the quick reply!
