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,

For some reason I have to pre process the lights first in Photoshop.

What is the best file format beside RAW for APP?

16 bit, Adobe-RGB, tiff or dng?

Should I use correction frames like flats, darks, bias or not?

Because I use the lens correction in AdobeConverterRAW.

So why do you need Photoshop to preprocess exactly? Normally this is not necessary at all.

I know, but this time it was necessary!

Because I shoot Neowise through overhead power lines.

So what file format do you recommend beside RAW?
