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 itĀ 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 tried APP using 1.056.
There was no workflow to allow calibration of variously filters unless you did each filter separately. Has this changed in new versions?

I won't be interested in trying or buying APP unless it can do what DSS, MaxIm DL and PI can do.
Hi Max @titansmoonsyahoo-com,
I am happy to anounce that APP 1.060 (the upcoming version) will have:
- a completely upgraded calibration engine including dark scaling (will be much easier for the user as well, APP now is much smarter), this was needed before I could implement:
- Fully automatic multi-channel processing
- and Fully automatic multi-session processing
so that means also fully automatic multi-channel & session processing.
You will be able to see which masters are attached to which light frames. And you will be able to provide the channel name and session name and use that as identifiers so APP knows internally what to do with it... so creating and using different masterflats for different channels and/or sessions will be done correctly automatically.Load the frames, set the channel and sessions and click integrate...
I am working hard to get this released as soon as possibleĀ 😉
Kind regards,
Mabula
This sounds great, I'm currently processing RGBHA one channel at a time and it is tedious! The automation will make a massive difference.
Yes, I fully understand, I am confident that APP 1.060 will make a big difference š It's nearly ready...
