1. e-Paint 7 Revision 3
_______________________________________________________________________
e-Paint 7 has been updated. This release:
- Fixes several perfidious bugs in the Text tool, including a
particularly sneaky one that could confuse the text alignment at
zoom levels of less than 100 percent, under some builds of Windows.
- Updates the rendering engine to improve its performance.
- Addresses several issues with the Matrix fill generator.
- Updates the Filter interface logic.
- Improves the Photography Workshop user interface.
- Addresses a number of GDI and performance issues that software
developers never really stop meddling with.
- Updates the documentation.
We'd like to urge all the users of e-Paint 7 to download and install
this update... doubly so if you're running Windows 10.
You can download e-Paint 7 from:
http://www.mindworkshop.com/paint.html#download

2. PNG MNG Construction Set 7 Revision 4 (Second Notification)
_______________________________________________________________________
PNG MNG Construction Set 7 has been updated. This release:
- Updates the texture library in the Banners window to use the standard
Alchemy Mindworks textures - these turn up in several of the animation
plugins, and in a number of other applications, such as e-Paint.
- Improves a number of metrics issues in the Banner function.
- Refines several aspects of the Adjust window.
- Addresses a number of timing issues in the View window.
- Fixes a problem in the Animation Wizard that could cause the source
image thumbnails to vanish due to some inconsistencies in the graphics
drivers for a number of display adapters. We doubt we've nailed all of
them, but some of the more insidious one are toast.
- Addresses a number of GDI and performance issues that software
developers never really stop meddling with.
- Updates the documentation.
You can download PNG MNG Construction Set 7 from:

3. 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.
We'd like to urge all the users of Graphic Workshop Professional 7 to
download and install this update... doubly so if you're running
Windows 10.
You can Graphic Workshop Professional 7 from:
