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.
Brand new user and I am stuck at the first step, I have a one shot color camera (ASI294MC). When I go to load the lights I get a request to assign the channel. What do I pick? (PixInsight does give an RGGB option.)
Ben, untick both multi channel options and watch this video Getting started with Astro Pixel Processor by Sara Wager – Astro Pixel Processor

Thanks Gary for trying to help out. Ben, there is one multi-session and one multi-filter option. Deselect the multi-filter option and you're good to go. Also, depending on what software you used when shooting the images, you may need to go to tab 0 and select the correct Bayer pattern for your camera in the "pattern" drop down (most likely RGGB) and enable "force Bayer/X-Trans CFA". Note that that only will be necessary if and when APP produces a black and white result. First, simply load your lights, flats, darks and darkflats in tab 1 and then go straight to tab 6 and click the integrate button.
