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.
Hello : I am wondering if I can use the RGB combine (or any other tool in APP) to split out LRGB channels from an OSC (One Shot Color) image out of a DSLR. I use a narrowband filter with 2 bandpasses. One is for deep red Hydrogen Alpha (HA) and the other is wider bandpass in blue/green to capture both H-Beta and 2 lines of OIII.
Many times, the red HA is very dominant and then image turns out dominated by red. I was wondering about perhaps splitting out the blue/green channels and enhancing them and then recombining them (at the linear stage). Is that doable with any of the tools in APP, like the RGB combine? I have tried, but not had much success in doing so. If it is possible, I would like to know the whole process flow from a calibrated, integrated linear OSC image to a recombined image with enhanced blue/green channels. If needed, I can post a link to one of my recent integrated NB images taken with the DSLR/dual band filter combo. Thanks for any pointers you can give ..... Anil
