GIF Construction Set Professional 7 Revision 3 _______________________________________________________________________ GIF Construction Set Professional 7 has been updated. This release: - Adds an Adjust window - impose subtle or decidedly radical color adjustments on your animations with a palette of sophisticated, interactive image filters. Users of Graphic Workshop Professional will recognize this feature - it works pretty much the same way in GIF Construction Set Professional, but it applies to entire animations. - Fixes several minor cosmetic bugs in the Titles and Credits window. - Changes the color quantization logic, this being the mind-numbingly complex process by which optimum palettes are derived for animations being assembled from true-color source images. This has resulted in a noticeable speed improvement in functions such as Animation Wizard and Combine. - Addresses a potential security issue. - Addresses a number of GDI and performance issues that software developers never really stop meddling with. - Updates the documentation.

UPGRADES If you have previously registered or upgraded to GIF Construction Set Professional 6, you can upgrade to GIF Construction Set Professional 7 for half the cost of a new single-user license. and the upgrade order page at: http://www.mindworkshop.com/upgrade.html _______________________________________________________________________ 2. Calendar Wizard 7 Revision 3 (New This Weekend) _______________________________________________________________________ Calendar Wizard 7 has been updated. This release: - Addresses several memory leaks that crept into the previous release. - Adjusts the Undo allocation strategy to allow for calendars with really big pictures. - Fixes a bug that causes the example calendar pages in the Set Page window to show the wrong months under some builds of Windows. From revision 2, released last week: - Adds a feature to print dodecahedral calendars. Should that have sounded like two Martians ordering lunch, a dodecahedron is a set of twelve pentagons arranged to form a rough sphere. Print out a dodecahedral calendar from Calendar Wizard, cut along the dotted lines and fold and glue the results to form a three-dimensional desk calendar. See the discussion of Print Dodecahedral in the Calendar Wizard Reference document for the whole tale. This one's cool enough to shatter penguins. - Addresses a number of issues that crept into the first release of Calendar Wizard 7... as software is wont to do. - Modifies the registration logic to work around Windows 10's recent updates, which have been randomly de-registering software when they sneak silently onto your computer. The sudden appearance of the "this key is already registered" message should be a distant memory. - Updates UpToDate. - Updates the graphic import functions. - Addresses a number of user interface issues. - Addresses a number of GDI and performance issues that software developers never really stop meddling with. - Updates the documentation.
