New improved internal memory controls should now work on all computers
May 1 2026: APP 2.0.0-beta43 has been released !
Improved internal memory controls (much more stable and faster on big datasets), fixed CPU image viewer, fixed Narrowband extraction demosaic algortihms.
Apr 29 2026 APP 2.0.0-beta42 has been released !
New improved Normalization engine, Fixed random crashes in integration, fixed RGB Combine & Calibrate Star Colors, fixed Narrowband extraction algorithms, new development platform with performance gains, bug fixes in the tools, etc...
Apr 14 2026: Google Pay, Apple Pay & WeChat Pay added as payment options
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.

It's been 1.5 hours since then, and CPU is at 7% usage. Should I keep waiting? I've 12 cores, 64GB RAM total, 58GB allocated to Java VM (23GB used), and 22 out of 24 threads allocated to APP.
That should not take that long indeed. Are you using the latest beta version of APP?
@vincent-mod beta12, yes.
it doesn’t hang if I turn LNC off so that was my workaround for now. With 12 cores and a fast GPU it wasn’t too big a problem to reprocess integration step again.
