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.
When using the 9) TOOLS, I'd love to have the edited version automatically load, so I can continue with the next step.
For example: When 'crop' my image I no longer want to work with the uncropped image with the next tool. I want to progress to the next step. As soon as it's saved, the newly created image is the one I want to work with again.
I believe this would apply to each tool. What does everyone else think?
I agree and was going to suggest this myself, or at least the option to have a check box called auto-progression. I have on occasion started the next step on the old image. 🙂
I agree too, it was a lovely function
Absolutely agree frustrating Behavior

Hi @cheetah, @xsnrg, @gs-ascionegmail-com, @gregwrca
Most tools work automatically that you progress with the newly created version. I agree that this is missing with both the Batch Resize/Rotate and Batch modify tool. The reason for this currently, is the Batch functionality.
I will add to my ToDo list that the new image version (rotated,resized, cropped) will automatically be loaded in case of processing of a singe image. That should improve the current behaviour, right?
Kind regards,
Mabula
Yes, I believe so.
But isn't it also true for Light Pollution, vignetting & star colour? (I haven't checked on 1.062, but in older versions I believe this is correct. I recall having to load the new image each time.)
Thanks for looking into this.
the Light Pollution, vignetting, background calibration & star colour calibration tools will end with showing the new result if you click on Ok & Save. You can then immediately load the next tool with that result.
This behaviour wasn't altered in the latest APP versions.

It would also be nice if when you're integration is done that it would display it rather than have to hunt it down?
