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 would like to request the ability to define 4 different custom mixes in the combine RGB tool For instance, I have a good mix that works well for me on the Hubble Palette, another one that does HOO with an addition of S being at 50% green, a combination that gives me a good LRGBHOO and another that gives me a good LRGBSHO. It would be much easier to not have to worry about adjusting these every single time I want to do an image in those combination. The other possibility would be to make whatever you select keep your adjustments persistent between session until you hit a "reset to default" button. Thanks.
Hi @imnewhere,
What formulas exactly would you like to have added? Are they working nicely on all objects?
I will be happy to add more formula presets in the Tool 😉

Here are ones that work great for me and I use them frequently. I provided examples with some. I also realized I really need to upload a bunch more of my processed stuff to Astrobin.
