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.
Today I attempted to Mosaic 2 images together by loading all of the 200 images and the master calibration frames.
This processed up to 6) Integrate where the following error message popped up.
This is where it errored out.
I was not able to find a way to increase RAM in the CFG.
Any way past this?
Hi Paul @paul-from-northern-mi,
Thank you very much for reporting this. With which version is this happening? One of the new beta's I think? If so, yes, we need to remove the message that you can still adjust RAM, since in the 2.0 beta's you can no longer or need to adjust this.
A mosaic of only 2 panels should not have a problem processing with 14GB of RAM for APP, so something is off and it might be caused by the way you are processing. Best would be to process the 2 mosaic panels separately first using normal registration, giving you 2 mosaic panels.
Then simply load the 2 mosaic panels as lights and register them as a mosaic. This workflow is much !!! faster and more robust.
Please let us know if this helps 😉

Mabula,
Yes, the error shows up in version 2 beta 6.
I have found that processing each individual frame and then combining as a mosaic does work well.
I was looking for an alternative however as I have observed some degradation of detail on a large mosaic project that I have been working on (20 plus tiles).
When I tried an individually processed 2 panel Mosaic I had no issue.
Yesterday I tried a 23 panel Mosaic, which processed but gave me a very strange result.
Only 1 fully rectangular image resulted, and it was rainbow hued.
Dear Paul @paul-from-northern-mi,
That is caused by OpenGL. Disabling OpenGL with the top left OpenGL button solves that. It is caused by a bad graphical driver on your computer, which probably does not report correctly the maximum openGL texture size. Is your mac up-to-date?

Okay excellent @paul-from-northern-mi, thank you for your feedback.
Thank you Mabula.
I have always been using the defaults. This did work well with just 2 frames in the mosaic.
I will certainly change settings and retry.
