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.
Obviously, I must be doing something incorrectly. Both the NGC 292 tutorial images as well as my test images end up- with the result being in Monochrome. Obviously I am missing a step somewhere, but where mystifies me. I have tried this three times now. Platform Windows 11, 64 gb memory, 4 tb storage, i9-13900 proc. APP 2.0 beta 36.
Thank you for your help.
Hi David @waterman,
Thank you very much for your question and welcome to the APP forum !
Do I understand correctly that when you combine the the different L,R,G,B filters into a composite in the RGB Combine Tool that the result is still in black and white? If so, maybe you need to turn on color saturation in the preview fitler on the right side? Did you try that?
In this part:
At 2min and 40 seconds, if you do not see color on your computer monitor, you might need to enable the saturation checkbox on the right side and increase the saturation slider to 0.25 and lower sat.th slider to about 10. Do you see color then?
If this solves it, your computer monitor probably is not setup ideally to show the sRGB colors, some manual configuration of your monitor color color temperature, saturation, contrast can also help then in this aspect.
Please let me know if this solves it and/or if you have any other questions.
