Graphic Workshop Professional 8 Revision 3 (New This Weekend) _______________________________________________________________________ Graphic Workshop Professional 8 has been updated. This release: - Addresses a few more issues that crept into the initial release of Graphic Workshop Professional 8. - Improves the solid color selection buttons throughout the application with a quick palette selection window - just hold down the Shift key on your keyboard when you click to select a color to see it. There's a complete discussion of this window and how it interacts with the primary Colors window in the section of the Reference document that deals with Color Selection. - Addresses an issue which prevented the Abort button in the Progress window from being recognized when Graphic Workshop was processing large numbers of high-resolution JPG files under some builds and configurations of Windows (if there was a penguin within 1500 meters of your house, possibly.) - Fixes a bug in e-Paint UltraLight that caused the floating tool and settings palette windows to become unselected during drawing in some circumstances - see the above reference to the proximity of a penguin. - Improves the JPG reader. - Updates several functions in the GWS Camera screen capture application. - Updates Archive Manager. - Addresses a potential security issue. We urge all users of Graphic Workshop Professional 8 to install this upgrade, and any users of earlier versions to consider upgrading as quickly as possible.

Announcing Calendar Wizard 8 (second Notification) _______________________________________________________________________ Calendar Wizard 8 has been released. We've refined the internal architecture of Calendar Wizard to make it faster, more memory-efficient and better able to take advantage of the functionality of Windows 7, 8 and 10. While most of the seriously cool changes embodied in Calendar Wizard 8 are "under the hood," users of the latest release will notice that it's noticeably quicker, especially for functions that call for significant system resources, such as managing complex calendars. The updated architecture will also allow us to add new features to Calendar Wizard that were impractical or genuinely impossible under version 7. ........................................................................ WHAT'S NEW The changes in version 8 include: - Adds double-sided printer support to allow double-sided bank-style calendars to be printed without having to pause and turn the paper over. There's a discussion about the finer nuances of double-sided printing in the Print section of the Reference document for Calendar Wizard's manual, but for the most part, if you have a double-sided printer, Calendar Wizard will detect it and print accordingly. - Adds a Preserve Pictures option to the Replicate window, allowing the Replicate function to propagate style changes to an entire calendar without nuking your existing graphics. - Improves the solid color selection buttons throughout the application with a quick palette selection window - just hold down the Shift key on your keyboard when you click to select a color to see it. There's a complete discussion of this window and how it interacts with the primary Colors window in the section of the Reference document that deals with Color Selection. - Improves some metrics in the dodecahedral calendars. Should you not have checked out this feature - it appeared mid-way through the life of Calendar Wizard 7 - it will print a 12-sided desk calendar that can be cut out and stuck together to form a three-dimensional object. - Calendar Wizard 8 will optionally import most of the configuration items of an existing Calendar Wizard 7 installation, if there's one on your system, eliminating the need to restore your preferences by hand. - Hardens the library interface underlying Calendar Wizard to make it more resistant to tampering. Sadly, the tampering in question appears to originate with some third-party security applications... which our lawyers would really prefer we didn't name. - Updates a number of user-interface issues throughout the application. - Addresses a number of GDI and performance issues that software developers never really stop meddling with. - Updates the documentation. We'd like to take this opportunity to express our sincere regrets for the minor bump in the price of Calendar Wizard. In our defense, it's been about a decade and a half since it last changed. Bookkeepers may not be the most irresistible force in the universe, but they are the most relentless.
