That is correct.

Dear Karen,
Thanks for your answer. so as I understood, I should first
prepare my images. it means that if I have 106 images for
instance, I need first to write EXPTIME and DATE-OBS in the
Header one by one.this way AIJ will provide me with new header
data.
Thanks ,

The biggest limitation to your current formatting (either jpg
or FITS) is that you do not have DATE-OBS or EXPTIME keywords
in the header. The DATE-OBS keyword let's AIJ know the start
time of the observations and then combined with the EXPTIME
keyword can calculate the center time of the exposure. Without
that information, almost no new header data can be calculated,
and when you plot photometry, AIJ will not know the time for
each specific measurement, so will only be able to plot
photometry in numeric sequence relative to the order each
image is processed.
You may be able to add this information by hand (if you know
the start time of each exposure), but it would be tedious work
unless you only have a few exposures to process.

Dear Karen,
yes, thanks a lot. after updating to daily build, JPG images
also work. but as you said before, with FITS it goes better.
if I turn off FITS header update, I will lose some
information in my final measurements table, right? I plot a
light curve of binary stars without doing plate solve. does
it make any problem without plate solve?
I also need to choose a reference star in multi-plot
photometry. how can I do that? because after I select Target
star with that green aperture, the rest of my selections
appeared to be comparisons and not a reference star.
Thanks,
Ela
