This release: * Addresses several security issues in the JPEG library used by Screen Saver Construction Set. It's our understanding that the previous version of the JPEG library used by Screen Saver Construction Setcould have allowed a maliciously-crafted JPEG graphic to execute arbitrary code on a host computer. The world includes some really scary people. Screen Saver Construction Set has been rebuilt using the latest - and wholly secure - JPEG functionality. We'd like to urge all users of Screen Saver Construction Setto update to this release ASAP. Don't close this message 'til you've clicked on the appropriate button below. * We've also updated the JPEG reader to be aware of the presence of EXIF metadata in the JPEG files it reads and adjust the orientation of the resulting pictures if they were taken with a camera held in something other than the traditional landscape position. * Adds assistance buttons to the initial registration key windows. Click on the question marks if you discover yourself to be lost. * 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 Screen Saver Construction Set7, you can upgrade to Screen Saver Construction Set 8 for half the cost of a new single-user license. * NOTE:* If you're currently running Screen Saver Construction Set 7, we strongly recommend that you upgrade to the current release to address the JPEG archive vulnerability described above. Users of Screen Saver Construction Set 7 can upgrade to version 8 for half price. Click on the huge blue button below. RAW Digital Camera Plugin Revision 2 for Graphic Workshop Professional (second notification) The RAW Digital Camera Plugin for Graphic Workshop Professional 8 has been rewritten and built against a new, expanded and vastly cool imaging library. It's substantially faster and more flexible than its ancestors, and it now supports 930 high-end digital cameras and smartphones... including the iPhone and Samsung Galaxy. If you haven't encountered this technology before, most digital cameras that didn't arrive as a prize in a cereal box create JPEG images by default, but they can be configured to store raw sensor data. Correctly processed, pictures saved to RAW files look vastly better than JPEGs, as they suffer no image degradation. The "correctly processed" part is this plugin. The RAW Digital Camera Plugin will let you view RAW image files exactly as your camera created them, and store them in a non-lossy format, such as PNG. If you own a digital camera or a suitable phone - 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'll need to be running Graphic Workshop Professional 8 to install this plugin. If you're running an earlier version of Graphic Workshop, please click on the huge blue button below to upgrade to Graphic Workshop Professional 8 and access this amazing plugin. In the event that you have a registration key for an earlier release of the RAW Digital Camera Plugin, note that it will still work with this version. iPhone is a trademark of Apple Inc.
