Graphic Workshop Professional 7 Revision 4 (Additional Notification) _______________________________________________________________________ Graphic Workshop Professional 7 has been updated. This release: - Adds a Paint function to the View mode window - edit your pictures directly from View, without saving them to disk. Select Paint from the Picture menu, or hold down the Shift key and click on the paintbrush button. - Improves the Adjust window, adds a Reset button and fixes a few... ahem... "bugs" has such a negative connotation. Perhaps they're just "alternate program features." - Changes the color quantization logic, this being the mind-numbingly complex process by which optimum palettes are derived for reducing true-color graphics to paletted images... this being GIF files, for the most part. This has resulted in a noticeable speed improvement in some of the Effects features. - Speeds up a number of features of the View window. - Updates several View mode filters. - Updates several of the drawing tools in e-Paint UltraLight. - Addresses several minor issues in GWS Camera. - 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.
