Trust us. Click on the book. * ** Announcing the New Alchemy Mindworks Web Site We're pleased to announce that Alchemy Mindworks has a fresh new web site, and that none of our staff involved in creating it were left with any permanent emotional disorders... or at least, nothing they can document. The new Alchemy site features a bold, contemporary look; larger text for easier reading; pages that load way faster; pure HTML5 coding to ensure compatibility with even the weirdest of web browsers and no more unicorns than there used to be. Despite its shiny, sophisticated attitude, however, the new site preserves the intuitive navigation and architecture of its predecessor. If it were any easier to find stuff, it would work by thought control alone. You can imagine what our lawyers would have to say about the privacy issues involved in a thought-actuated web site, so we're not going there. We'd like to invite everyone to drop by for a visit ? please click on the web page above or the blue button below. (We should note that a few of the ancillary pages ? some of the original articles, for example ? aren't on line as yet. They're in the pipe.) e-Paint 8 Revision 5 (second notification) e-Paint 8 has been updated. This release: * Implements an extensive review of the e-Paint drawing tools, and addresses a substantial number of somewhat obscure but substantially embarrassing issues with them. * Updates thefilter interface to enhance its reliability and plug a memory leak. * Improves the Shadows function with a better blurgenerator. * 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 e-Paint7, you can upgrade to e-Paint 8 for half the cost of a new single-user license. Click on the huge blue button below. PNG MNG Construction Set 8 Revision 5 (second notification) PNG MNG Construction Set 8 has been updated. This release: * Fixes several memory leaks in Animation Wizard which could crash the application if it's asked to build large or complex animations. Also, these things really shouldn't be there... * Sorts out some permissions issues in the Favorites window that could prevent documents from being added to or opened by it, depending on your version and configuration of Windows. * Addresses a number of user interface issues around the software. * Improves the metrics in the Titles and Credits window. If you use this feature to add titles and credits to your video of a deer... or anything else... they'll look just that little bit cooler. * Improves the timing accuracy in the View window under some builds of Windows. * Improves the blur generator in the Shadow window. Generating life-like, convincing blurs keeps some people awake for days. We're not naming any names in this case... * Fixes a potential memory leak in the plugin interface. * 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 PNG MNGConstruction Set 7, you can upgrade to PNG MNG Construction Set 8 for half the cost of a new single-user license.

This release: * Fixes a bug which could cause the Graphic Workshop ICO reader to display some Windows icons as wholly transparent, which is pretty much the same as "invisible" or "totally absent." * Fixes a problem with View mode which suppressed the Save As function for the duration of a View session after saving an image to the Windows clipboard. * Fixes a bug that could cause two identical entries to appear in Graphic Workshop's browser windows after saving from the Paste to View or Paste to Crop functions. * Fixes a bug in the e-Paint UltraLight polygon tool that could cause objects to be drawn slightly offset to the left in some circumstances, under some builds of Windows, in proximity to a large penguin or other flightless aquatic bird. * Addresses several issues with the format overrides options in the Destination window which set some of the over-ridden parameters incorrectly. * Fixes a bug in the GWS Camera screen capture that could cause it to omit part of the client area of the window being captured, under some builds of Windows probably during a near-total solar eclipse. Okay, maybe not the eclipse... * Improves the responsiveness of the Abort button in the Progress window for honking big JPG graphics. * Improves the behavior of the color buttons. * Improves the update speed of the View window for some display hardware. * Fixes a problem with the Favorites window that could prevent the Pin Color menu from being displayed under some builds of Windows. * Addresses a number of GDI and performance issues that software developers never really stop meddling with. * Updates the documentation.
