1. The Ultimate Screen Clock 5 Revision 5
_______________________________________________________________________
The Ultimate Screen Clock 5 has been updated. This release:
- Adds an Alarm Clock feature. Have The Ultimate Screen Clock wake you
up, notify you of important events or provide you with an excuse to
beg off another evening of watching your brother-in-law practice
Olympic free-style ferret juggling. The Alarm Clock is quick to
enable, flexible in its choice of noises and effects and impossible
to ignore.
Select Alarm Clock from the right-click menu.
- Fixes a number of issues in the World Time window - most of them
having to do with the vagaries of daylight saving time - which
saw it miscalculating the correct time at various places around the
world.
And yes, if you reside in North America, this is the weekend the
clocks go forward and you can count on missing most of your favorite
shows.
- Adds an option to select which of the screen saver modes the Random
mode option will select among. Click on Enable next to the Screen
Saver Mode combo in Setup.
- Addresses a number of user-interface elements in the various windows
opened by The Ultimate Screen Clock, and updates its iconography.
- Tidies up the right-click menu.
- Fixes a few minor clock-metric problems.
- Addresses a number of GDI and performance issues that software
developers never really stop meddling with.
- Updates the documentation.

2. PNG MNG Construction Set Professional 5 Revision 5
(Second Notification)
_______________________________________________________________________
PNG MNG Construction Set Professional 5 has been updated. This release:
- Adds Text Overlay. Apply your choice of text watermarks, captions,
copyright notices and other content to your animations. The Text
Overlay function is available in the PNG MNG Construction Set Chunk
menu.
- Rewrites the primary MNG reader to make it quicker, and to clean up
the status bar so it no longer appears to be chasing a drunken
ferret when PNG MNG Construction Set opens a large file.
- Fixes a bug in the Banners function which could prevent the
Antialias setting from being recognized correctly under some builds
of Windows.
- Fixes a bug in the Buttons function which could prevent the
Antialias setting from being recognized correctly under some builds
of Windows.
- Improves the Reconstruct function, and several other features of
PNG MNG Construction Set that use it indirectly.
- Updates the memory management logic, which should speed up much of
what PNG MNG Construction Set does to some extent.
- Addresses a number of GDI and performance issues that software
developers never really stop meddling with.
- Updates the documentation.

3. 10 Meritorious Tweets about Graphic Workshop Professional 5
(Second Notification)
_______________________________________________________________________
We suspect that we'll eventually run out of adjectives to describe
tweets... but not this time.
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.
You can download a copy of Graphic Workshop Professional 5 from:

If you're still using Graphic Workshop 4, we invite you to enjoy all
the new functionality, enhanced performance and cool things to click
