        Graphic Workshop Professional 9 Revision 15 ***(new this weekend)***


    Graphic Workshop Professional 9 has been updated. This release:

      * Adds progress bars to the *GIF and WebP animation windows* to
        assist you in following the action as an animation plays.

      * Adds a *Crop* option to the File menu of the Graphic Workshop
        *View *window. Crop your images directly from within View,
        rather than saving them to temporary files are bouncing them
        around the Windows clipboard.

      * Adds a *Film Grain filter* to the View mode Filters window, to
        make your start-of-the-art digital photographs look retro,
        vintage or sufficiently convincing to fool people into believing
        you haven't aged over the past forty years. If you're too young
        to know what film grain is, there's an explanation in the
        Reference section of the Graphic Workshop Manual. (We couldn't
        make something like this up...)

      * Adds a handler for *JFIF* files. It has come our attention that
        in some contexts, JPG files can appear with the file extension
        .JFIF. Graphic Workshop now interprets these as conventional JPG
        documents.

      * The Get Info window for *WebP documents* will now tell you
        whether they contain still images or animations. Look for the
        word Animation in the Comments field for the latter.

      * Fixes a bug in the *Graphic Workshop Window menu*'s application
        list which previously could prevent Alpha Paint from opening
        correctly when it was called from within Graphic Workshop, under
        some builds of Windows.

      * Addresses a number of issues in the*file association* links
        introduced in the previous update. When you right-click on a
        file that Graphic Workshop or one of its ancillary applications
        knows how to open and select Open With, the appropriate software
        will appear in in Windows Open With menu and Open With window.

      * Fixes a problem with the Graphic Workshop*Crop window* that
        could cause it to momentarily display any application or desktop
        elements appearing under Graphic Workshop when it closes.

      * Updates the documentation.

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

        Screen Saver Construction Set 9Revision 3 ***(second
        notification)***


    Screen Saver Construction Set 9 has been Updated. This release:

      * Adds *WebP* support — import still images and leading-edge
        animations from WebP documents.

        The WebP format was developed by Google. Supported by the
        current versions of all the major web browsers, it replaces PNG
        and JPEG with a twenty-first century graphics standard. It
        allows for true-color imaging and full alpha transparency.

        There's an extensive discussion of WebP at our blog
        <http://blog.mindworkshop.com/animation/a-quick-introduction-to-webp-graphics-and-animations/>.

      * Updates the About window of the screen saver runtime, which
        appears if someone clicks on the Settings button for a screen
        saver in the Windows Control Panel.

      * Improves the download speed of Screen Saver Construction Set's
        *Remote C**o**ntent* objects.

      * Updates the document runtime to address a number of minor bugs
        and to improve its performance.

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

      * Updates the *documentation*.

        Graphic Workshop EPS, PS, AI, PDF Plugin Revision 2


        ***(second notification)***


    The Graphic Workshop Professional 9 PostScript plugin has been
    updated. This release addresses a number of configuration issues
    that could cause the plugin to misread some documents.

    It also fixes an installation bug that could prevent it from
    correctly configuring Graphic Workshop to use the plugin to display
    EPS graphics, rather than its own internal — and less capable — EPS
    reader.

    Click on the blue button to download the Graphic Workshop PostScript
    (EPS, PS, AI, PDF) Plugin.

        Presentation Wizard 9Revision 3 ***(additional notification)***


    Presentation Wizard 9 has been Updated. This release:

      * Adds *WebP* support — import still images and leading-edge
        animations from WebP documents.

        The WebP format was developed by Google. Supported by the
        current versions of all the major web browsers, it replaces PNG
        and JPEG with a twenty-first century graphics standard. It
        allows for true-color imaging and full alpha transparency.

        There's an extensive discussion of WebP at our blog
        <http://blog.mindworkshop.com/animation/a-quick-introduction-to-webp-graphics-and-animations/>.

      * Updates the *JPEG functionality* in Presentation Wizard to be
        blindingly, shockingly *fast*... and possibly violate a few laws
        of physics.

        The new JPEG reader also addresses a number of potential
        *security holes* which could have allowed a maliciously-crafted
        JPG file to execute arbitrary code and compromise a computer
        running previous releases of Presentation Wizard.

        We urge everyone running Presentation Wizard to update to this
        release really, really soon — some time yesterday would be ideal.

        If you're running a version of Presentation Wizard *older than
        version 9*, please see the *Upgrades***section, below.

      * Improves the download speed of Presentation Wizard's *Remote
        C**o**ntent* objects.

      * Updates the document runtime to address a number of minor bugs
        and to improve its performance.

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

      * Updates the *documentation*.

          Upgrades

    If you have registered or upgraded a registration for Presentation
    Wizard 8, we invite you to upgrade to Presentation Wizard 9 for
    *half the current new-user price*. Click on the blue button below to
    visit the upgrade page.

    *Older software: *If you're running a registered older version of
    Presentation Wizard — Presentation Wizard 4 or better — we'd like to
    urge you in strongest possible terms to upgrade to version 9, so the
    security holes in the old JPEG reader don't risk letting the slime
    of the Internet access your computer.

    For the duration of this update cycle — for the next week, at least
    — we invite you to*upgrade to **Presentation Wizard 9* for *half
    price*, even if the reduced-price upgrade window is no longer valid
    for your version.

    Just ignore the warning about upgrades only being applicable to
    version 8 and 9 at our e-commerce page — your Presentation Wizard
    upgrade order will be accepted.

    Click on the blue button below to visit the upgrade page.
