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.
Hi there,
Just want to know what I am doing wrong, after going right through all processing steps (BG, star cal, LP removal and other adjustments) I then upload the image to onedrive so that I can edit the photo a little more in Lightroom on my iPad, but when i open up the image in Lightroom, the data has been horribly washed out and it seems to have removed all my processing.
Any ideas?

Thanks, Dan
Hi Dan,
I am Windows based so my experience may not be quite as yours but I now always save my images from APP as 16-bit TIFFs with sRGB profile then within Photoshop use Open As to open the image files via Adobe Camera RAW for final tweaking.  I believe that Camera Raw can also be used to open files within Lightroom.Â
Hope this helps
Mike

Thank you Mike,
This is indeed most likely a problem with the color space. Ofcourse you want to save the stretched final image, but I guess you're doing that already.
