(Really, really dumb ones...) http://www.stevenwilliamrimmer.com/darkmatter.html _______________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________ 1. e-Paint 6 Revision 5 _______________________________________________________________________ e-Paint 6 has been updated. This release: - Adds a Favorites window. Pin your frequently-used pictures to Favorites, and thereafter access your best graphics with a few clicks. See the discussion of Favorites in the Reference document of the manual for the whole tale. - Nails a bug that prevented the toolbar buttons from displaying tool tips under some builds of Windows. - Addresses several potential problems in the Filter interface that could have crashed e-Paint if the universe was in a mood. - Fixes a problem with the Text tool that saw it becoming confused if it was confronted with badly-formed third-party TrueType fonts... the kind you download from higher-order dimensions of space-time. - Addresses a potential memory leak in the Undo function. - Improves the performance of the rendering engine - this pretty much never stops. - Addresses a number of GDI and performance issues that software developers never really stop meddling with. - Updates the documentation. You can download e-Paint 6 from: http://www.mindworkshop.com/paint.html#download ........................................................................ UPGRADES If you have previously registered or upgraded to e-Paint 4 or e-Paint 5, you can upgrade to e-Paint 6 for half the cost of a new single-user license. Please see: http://www.mindworkshop.com/upgrade.html to upgrade. _______________________________________________________________________ 2. RAW Digital Camera Plugin Revision 4 for Graphic Workshop Professional 6 _______________________________________________________________________ The RAW plugin for Graphic Workshop Professional has been updated to improve its image handling and processing functions, and add support for the latest generation of high-end digital cameras. It now supports over 600 cameras. We recommend that users of the RAW plugin download and install the current release. ....................................................................... View and convert the native raw image files from many contemporary Canon, Casio, Hasselblad, Kodak, Konica, Nikon, Leica, Minolta, Olympus, Panasonic, Pentax, Sigma, Fuji and Sony high-end digital cameras, plus Adobe Digital Negative files, to access the highest possible image quality for your digital photography. The improved detail resolution and color fidelity available with the Graphic Workshop Professional RAW plugin compared to the default JPEG configuration for most cameras is breathtaking. This plugin costs $34.99. If you own a supported digital camera - or if you're just thinking about buying one - you and your immediate descendants will thank you for downloading this plugin. See the download link, below, for a complete list of the cameras the plugin supports. ....................................................................... You can download the plugin at: http://www.mindworkshop.com/alchemy/gwsplugins.html#RAW ....................................................................... IMPORTANT: You must be running Graphic Workshop Professional 6 to install this plugin. If you're running Graphic Workshop 5, you can still upgrade to the current Graphic Workshop Professional 6 software for half price. Please see: http://www.mindworkshop.com/upgrade.html to upgrade. Registration keys bought for earlier versions of the RAW Digital Camera plugin are still valid for the version 6 release of the plugin. .......................................................................

Windows 10 (Additional Notification) _______________________________________________________________________ Alchemy Mindworks applications earlier than version 6.0 don't run under Windows 10. Depending on the specific software in question and your operating system configuration, all sorts of really unfortunate things would happen in this environment. The current version 6.0 Alchemy Mindworks applications have been rewritten and thoroughly tested to get along with Windows 10. We'd like to take this opportunity to urge all the users of earlier versions of our software to consider upgrading to version 6.0. You'll enjoy: - Ongoing enhancements and new functionality. - Bug fixes and security upgrades. - No nasty surprises at such time as you install Windows 10. NOTE: While the half-price upgrade path from the now somewhat ancient version 4.0 software has officially ended, we have extended the 4.0 half-price window for the immediate future. If you update your 4.0 Alchemy Mindworks products, just ignore the message at our update e-commerce page about the updates only being available for version 5. Please see http://www.mindworkshop.com/upgrade.html to upgrade. _______________________________________________________________________ 5.
