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.
Hi,
In previous versions you could fine tune the various settings by clicking on the slider bar to move the setting ball a very small amount. That option does not appear available in 2.0 Beta1. Very small adjustments on some of the sliders can make a big difference in the displayed image. Trying to do that by clicking on and moving the slider ball a tiny amount is most difficult. Is there a way to make the very small adjustments to the sliders like in previous versions?
Thanks, Jeff
Hi Jeff,
I have tested this myself, but I see no difference directly between 1.083 and 2.0.0-beta1 in this. Did you try to zoom in on the slider by clicking on the + button several times. That should enable you to do fine adjustments 😉
For 2.0.0 stable i have planned to make the preview filter much simpler and more intuitive in this regard as well.

Hi Mabula,
I have clicked the right box, for example on the black point slider, to increase it to 4. Occasionally a click on the slider bar will move the black point once. But after that and most of the time, there is no change. The Console Output indicates processing and the image will refresh but it has no change and the digital reading in that slider does not change. If it is relevant I am using a MacBook Pro with the M1 processor.

Hi Mabula,
FYI, clicking on the Saturation slider does move the set point a small incremental amount. But I think it is the only slider that responds that way.
Thanks, Jeff
