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.
I've been able to use all the tools successfully except for the first one. Everytime I try to use it I end up with a washed-out bright blank image. Were you working on a video for this particular tool?
Hi Greg,
The vignetting tool will only work of you apply it on data that hasn't been corrected for vignetting previously. So if you haven't applied flats at all.
Check the first post in this topic:
If you do have applied flats previously, than you will get the washed-out bright blank image.
In that case, you will need to use the "remove light pollution" tool to remove any remaining gradients.
Kind regards,
Mabula
Well that explains my inability to use the tool cuz I always take Flats. Thanks for the explanation.

Yes, ;-), if you use flats, the tool is redundant...
