UPDATE FROM MABULA
I have had a very rough 2 months unfortunately health wise. I was struck 3x in a row with bacterial infections. The second infection occurred  after a routine hospital checkup and I became very sick. I had to rest and take a lot of antibiotics. Once I was recovering and restarting work 1 month ago, I again became sick. The infection was not yet gone, so even more antibiotics and rest was needed. Needless to say, it took a lot of my energy and I needed a lot of rest.
Finally, the infection is really gone and my energy is coming back step-by-step now and I have started work again. I am terribly sorry to have kept you waiting for support. I will address all outstanding questions and e-mails step-by step and will be on the forum daily from today.
APP 2.0.0-beta47 will come soon as well, a lot of work was already completed before I became very ill, so the release is also nearly ready for you. Beta47 will be much faster actually. Many workflows will be more than 2x faster, mosaics can even be 10x faster than before because registration really received a major boost... all compared to beta46. Â Before I release it, I will make sure that everything is working properly and then I will release it.
I tried the trial version and have just upgraded to the renters version. I very much like APP's ability to calibrate and combine, it does an excellent job and the left side of the software panel is fairly well polished. As a photographer, I am so used to Photoshop and would really like the right side of the panel to behave in a similar fashion. I find tweaking the histogram quite difficult and would prefer a single line with black, white and gamma points to slide and the ability to zoom in.

Hi Adrian. Yes, that part is being worked on and will likely improve in later versions. APP is just 1 year old and Mabula was focussing a lot on getting the calibration parts as perfect as possible (which shows), I believe he'll be focussing more on the post-processing part this year. If that means you get Photoshop-style slider... noooo idea. 😉 Would be nice yes.
and I guess the correct re-ordering of tab numbers on the left side? Also would be nice to see the slider function on the left takes effect once you take the mouse click off instead of having to press calculate?
My overview of APP is that it is such a good calibration tool and also with other initial processing steps like background normalization, that this part should be polished first. I am less worried about the right side because there are several good programs, like Photoshop, that are so good at image manipulation, that it would be very hard to match with APP, just some basic functions there I would suggest.
