        Graphic Workshop Professional 9 Revision 8  (new this weekend)


    Graphic Workshop Professional 9 has been updated. This release:

      * Fixes a bug in the *Favorites* window that could prevent it from
        creating new Favorites galleries under some configurations of
        Windows. It was admittedly, an obscure bug, but we chortled when
        it finally became demised.

      * Further improves the performance of the new *View window* update
        logic.

      * Fixes an embarrassing typo in the View mode closing save file
        prompt.

     From last weekend's release:

      * Rewrites the *View mode screen update logic*. It's now
        shockingly quick. It also has an Optimum Size mode that will
        display your pictures to completely fill the view window, rather
        than selecting the nearest integral zoom factor. We hasten to
        add that you can select Optimum Size as the default zoom level
        in Setup, and you can use the View mode Configure window to set
        your middle mouse button or mouse wheel to toggle between
        Optimum Size and 100% zoom.

        Because of the warped structure of the universe, we're fairly
        certain that there exists at least one computer... somewhere...
        that won't entirely get along with the improved screen update
        functionality. As such, you'll see a message the first time you
        open a picture in View to the effect that it can be reverted to
        the original banded screen update functionality. Unselect the
        Show Me This Message Again option to avoid seeing it in the future.

      * Rewrites the *thumbnail *read functionality to make Graphic
        Workshop's browser windows populate in less time... 'specially
        under Windows 10, which is  bit lackadaisical about such things.

      * Fixes a truly pernicious bug in the *View mode Filter window*
        and the batch mode and right-click Filter windows which could
        leak resources and crash things. We urge all users of Graphic
        Workshop to update to this version and nail this insidious
        little beast before it nails you.

      * Fixes pretty much the same pernicious bug in the *Textures and
        Fractals window*.

      * Adds the ability to remove permanent thumbnails from items in
        the *Search* window. Hold down the Ctrl key and click on the
        thumbnail button.

      * Changes the behavior of the *Add Permanent Thumbnails* function
        of the Search window — hold down the Alt key and click on the
        Thumbnail button. The previous behavior, which used the Shift
        key, could enable the face detection feature of the thumbnail
        generator if you didn't release the Shift key quickly enough.

      * Updates the documentation.

      * Addresses a number of GDI and performance issues that software
        developers never really stop meddling with.

        RAW Digital Camera and Smartphone Plugin Revision 4 for Graphic
        Workshop Professional 9


    The RAW Digital Camera Plugin for Graphic Workshop Professional 9
    has been updated to address several security issues and format
    variations.

    It currently processes pictures from 1,016 popular digital cameras
    and phones, including iPhones and the 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 supported 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.

        <http://www.mindworkshop.com/gwsplugins.html#CRW>


    You'll need to be running Graphic Workshop Professional 9 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 9 and access this amazing plugin.



        <http://www.mindworkshop.com/upgrade.html>


    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.

        Announcing Voice Manager 9 (second notification)


    The Yamaha DX7, TX7, reface DX and the Korg Volca FM synthesizers
    are amazingly cool... among other things because their voices can be
    programmed to make them sound like pretty much anything you can imagine.

    In the event that you're not feeling very imaginative, there's also
    a voice-sharing community from which to download buckets of fresh
    sounds for them.

    Alchemy Mindworks' Voice Manager will keep track of banks of
    synthesizer voices, allowing them to be saved as permanent disk
    files. It also embodies an intuitive voice editor, and numerous
    other tools to make these instruments totally rock.

    If you play keyboards, we invite you to check out Voice Manager.

        PNG MNG Construction Set 9 Revision 2 (additional notification)


    PNG MNG Construction Set 9 has been updated. This release:

      * Adds several additional *Throbber* styles. Select Throbbers from
        the Edit menu if you've thus far overlooked this feature.
        Throbbers are the animations that appear when an on-line medium
        is waiting for something to happen. PNG MNG Construction Set
        creates some truly unique ones... examples of which appear here.

      * Addresses a number of minor issues in the *Throbbers* window.

      * Fixes a number of... dare we say bugs... from the initial
        version 9 release.

      * Updates the *batch processor* to improve its performance and fix
        a memory leak... albeit a somewhat theoretical one.

      * Stomps a color management problem in the *Transitions* window —
        it now creates somewhat better animations when it's confronted
        with source images having a wide palette of colors.

      * Updates the *PNG readers and writers* in PNG MNG Construction
        Set address some security issues. We strongly urge all users of
        PNG MNG Construction Set to update to this version to close
        these potential security holes.

      * Addresses a number of GDI and performance issues that software
        developers never really stop meddling with.

      * Updates the documentation.
