Yes they are "intelligent" as in, they give the optimal result given what APP can know about the data. But for cases which are a bit more challenging or effects like undersampling and such, there you might want to change things. But you can learn about these in your journey of the hobby. :)

@vincent-mod Thanks! It is good to hear that the options are automatic (I interpret as having "intelligent defaults"). I indeed use single-shot color camera for now and was going directly to "integrate" after loading frames so it's good to hear that I wasn't missing anything important, at least for the beginner level.

Not really that quick no. Basically, for regular integrations of relatively simple single-shot color data.. it's just a matter of loading the calibration frames, the lights and going to tab 6 and click "integrate". Many options are automatic now so that should already give a nice result, easily outdoing DSS for example.

In the workflows section of the forum there are a few more in-depth written tutorials, mainly for narrowband combinations with OSC data.

Is there a quick start guide for APP, where in 30 minutes I can understand how to do a standard stacking and post processing workflow (e.g. for something as common as Andromeda)?

I realize that there are hours of video tutorials, but it would be helpful to get an "easy win" that would motivate to continue and go deeper vs going back to familiar tools such as DSS.
