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'm a VERY new user of APP, and also learning image processing at the same time. When following the (excellent) tutorial on M 20 (Multi-channel/filter processing in APP 1.061) I was not sure how to translate some of the settings. The most puzzling was the difference in the integration settings, specifically the value(s) of kappa. APP 1.061 has kappa and number of integrations, while APP 1.082 requests kappa low and kappa high. What would be the proper low and high values? Would it be better to use automatic instead?Â
Thanks!

@pafnooty Hi Ed, welcome to the forum. With the newest versions of APP (1.082 included) it indeed is better to start with the automatic settings. Only if and when that isn't sufficient, you should start setting your own settings.
