UPDATE FROM MABULA
I have had a very rough 2 months unfortunately health wise. I was struck 3x in a row with bacterial infections. The second infection occurred  after a routine hospital checkup and I became very sick. I had to rest and take a lot of antibiotics. Once I was recovering and restarting work 1 month ago, I again became sick. The infection was not yet gone, so even more antibiotics and rest was needed. Needless to say, it took a lot of my energy and I needed a lot of rest.
Finally, the infection is really gone and my energy is coming back step-by-step now and I have started work again. I am terribly sorry to have kept you waiting for support. I will address all outstanding questions and e-mails step-by step and will be on the forum daily from today.
APP 2.0.0-beta47 will come soon as well, a lot of work was already completed before I became very ill, so the release is also nearly ready for you. Beta47 will be much faster actually. Many workflows will be more than 2x faster, mosaics can even be 10x faster than before because registration really received a major boost... all compared to beta46. Â Before I release it, I will make sure that everything is working properly and then I will release it.
Hello. I'm very new to APP but I have successfully used it to generate some nice images. On one dataset I seem pretty stuck though. By the final processing stage the image is heavily weighted towards blue. In the attached image I show different looks of the color histogram. If I look at a single light frame it looks as I would expect with all colors having approximately the same histogram .. however when I look at the same image in the APP viewer they are clearly starting to separate with Red being dim and blue being bright .. and by the final processed image it's comically .. blue ... I've tried to reprocess the same image multiple times just to see if I messed up a setting or cross-wired darks / flats etc. .. but I get the same result every time. Any ideas where things could be starting to go wrong?
The Camera is a ZWO ASI533MC-PÂ (RGGB)

I figured it out ... if anyone else has this issue it was previously addressed in detail Here
It came down to the ZWO camera's white-balance gain factors in the FITS header .. there is a check box just under the histogram in the upper right to "neutralize-BG" which I must have unchecked at some point. This should be checked to properly white balance the image.
Cheers!

Hi Andrew @cyberbub,
Thank you very much for posting this topic.
I actually fear that something still is not enitrely right here. If all were okay the final stacked image should have the histogram peaks for R,G,B at the same point provided that in 5)Normalize neutralize background is enabled. Do you have it enabled or not? If not, does it come out right then when you enable it without having to use the neutralize-BG option ?
