If you're among the tens of thousands of Graphic Workshop users who don't follow us on Twitter - we're in no way offended by this - you'll likely have missed the ongoing tweets that deal with often-overlooked features of the known universe's most popular image management software. Graphic Workshop Professional 5's ability to do practically everything that can be done to pictures makes it relatively easy to use it every day for years and still miss a few of its better tricks. Here are ten more of the finest features you never knew it had, fresh from the Alchemy Mindworks Twitter account: - Create state-of-the-art Roman mosaics with Canvas filter. - Convert pictures from every weird-beard, old, obscure or unknown format into JPEGs. - Retouch your photos with e-Paint Ultralight. - Capture any portion of your screen with GWS Camera's interactive mode. - Eliminate duplicate photos with Find Similar. - Frame your photos extremely with Matt & Frame. - Elevate your photos above the noise with the Raise filter. - Privacy rules - use the Face Detection filter. - Your digital camera can do better - try the Raw plugin. - Lie convincingly... adjust the time stamps of your pictures.
