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.
Hello everyone
I am currently working on the first LRGB image.
Light pollution processing was performed on each image of L, R, G, and B.
In the monochrome image, it appeared to be a gentle uniform.
After that, I combined the LRGB image, but the light and dark and color were uneven in the color image.
My question is that light pollution processing is performed on each image of L, R, G, B and should then be combined, or should use light pollution process after combine.
Thank you
Ah yes, so light pollution correction happens on each mono integration, but each mono integration will vary amongst each other regarding the background. So combining those will still create variation. It's best to just combine them first and then do the light pollution correction. It doesn't matter if you do it twice though, it doesn't hurt the data.

A Happy New Year!
And thank you for an answer!
I was taught that there was not an advantage to perform the same processing again.
I will do the light pollution correction in future after having unified LRGB.
Thank you
Happy newyear as well! 😉 There is little to no advantage indeed, but it won't hurt it either. Best to just do it on the final image.
