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 know many users of APP are enhancing their final result by post-processing it with PS and/or LR. I am very new to PS (in astrophotography) and would love to know your workflow.
There are a number of videos on how to do the COMPLETE process with PS, just after stacking, but how about starting from what APP can produce, ie after integration, "combine RGB", "remove light pollution", "HSL", etc (left side actions) ? Maybe even after some corrections made through the right side actions (stretching, saturation, black point, etc).
Finally, from where do you start your PS/LR post-process and what do you do ?
As an example, I attach my last attempt on M51 that surely can be improved (including with APP).
A million thanks !
