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.
First the performance of the new version is amazing. I recently got a 24-core Threadripper 3 computer and combined with the performance improvement of V 2 means processing hundreds of subs no longer requires overnight processing.
Now a problem is carrying over from the old version, I do a lot of bi-color processing with my OSC camera and L-Extreme filter and then using the Ha and O3 extracts. If I attempt RGB combine with the files straight out of Integration, everything runs fine. However, if I preprocess with Light Pollution Removal or Cropping, the resulting files are converted from Grayscale to RGB and won't combine as expected using HOO1 or HOO2. It takes multiple clicks to load each file. Is there a way to keep the extracts as Grayscale through these preprocessing steps?

Hi! I know you're busy with the new release but still want to find out about this - why doing crops or lpc on a Ha or O3 extract from OSC changes the extract from Grayscale to RGB.
Thanks!

Sorry, must have missed your post. I don't think this should be the case, I'll forward it to Mabula.
Ah, I see we did add your issue to our issue-list to be solved, this is going to be tackled indeed.
Closing this issue, has been solved already in the past...
