Apr 9 2026 APP 2.0.0-beta40 has been released !
It has a major performance boost of 30-50% over 2.0.0-beta39 from calibration to integration, for mosaics even faster! 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. Improved Outlier Rejection with LN 2.0 rejection. macOS CMD+A works now in file chooser ! And more, all will be added to the release notes in the coming hours...
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,
if you record with a mono in RGB, and record 2 hours red, 1 hour green, 1 hour blue. Does this affect the colors in the image because more of red was recorded. Does it make the image more red? Or is that normalized somehow when stacking? Or is it recommended to always have exactly the same time in all 3 channels?
It can affect the color yes, but normalizing them should make that work. Afterwards you can, especially with mono data, also combine and mix them in a way that you like. I would recommend to have a bit of similar integration time between channels indeed, it just makes things a bit easier and adding data with more noise also makes it just a bit less nice for the data with better integration time, but it is totally possible.
Thank you for your explanation. Basically, my goal is always to achieve an identical time in all 3 channels. But you know, the weather can have a negative influence on the goal.
Yes for sure, so you can always do it the way you proposed, just saying it can be better with similar time. But I'd suggest to just try it and see.
