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.  Before I release it, I will make sure that everything is working properly and then I will release it.

I love the new star reduction tool.  Below is a quick video that shows my initial thoughts and experience using the tool.  I would love to see a discussion get started about how to use this tool better.  What can I do to make it work even better?

Thank you Joe for posting this excellent tutorial!  I downloaded APP 1.083 Beta2 to try the star reduction tool but I was lost until I found your video

Here is my first attempt at using the tool after watching your tutorial....

Hi Joe,

Very nice tutorial on star reduction.  I wonder how much more effective the user community would find this useful tool if the instructions available by mouse hovering were a bit more detailed.  Or maybe a link to an instruction page that showed the effects of individual sliders (showing blow-ups obtained at 10% and 90% slider positions) would encourage more users to try star reduction.  I found your quick tutorial provided details that increased my understanding -- so I'm not asking for much.

David
