Graphic Workshop Professional 10
RAW Digital Camera and Smartphone Plugin
Revision 2 (additional notification)
The RAW Digital Camera Plugin for Graphic Workshop Professional 10 has
been updated to address numerous format variations, and to add support
for over *100 new cameras*.
It currently processes pictures from 1,117 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 10 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 10 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.

Graphic Workshop Professional -
10 More Cool Features
Graphic Workshop Professional 10 is rich with functionality... some of
which you might not know it has. Here are ten leading-edge features you
can access in Graphic Workshop.
* *Crop Window: *Crop your pictures with breathtaking ease in the
Graphic Workshop Crop window. If you need to crop graphics with
numerical precision, select Properties from the Crop window's File
menu. Finally, you can configure the crop settings for one graphic
and subsequently apply them to an entire batch. Crop can also be
accessed directly through the View window.
* *Print Dodecahedron: *Transform your twelve favorite photographs
into a three-dimensional desk toy. The Print Dodecahedron window
will calculate all the angles and fold lines required to print a
flawless twelve-sided figure. Some arts and crafts to cut it out and
fold it will be required.
* *Adjust:* Quickly refine your pictures with the Adjust window,
accessible through the Graphic Workshop browser right-click menu.
Intuitive, interactive and immediate, Adjust will quickly repair the
ravages of poor lighting, insufficient contrast and questionable
automatic exposure. It has a learning curve best measured with a
microscope.
* *Matt and Frame:* Add flawless frames around your pictures. With
access to the Graphic Workshop Textures and Fractals functionality
to create its materials, the Matt and Frame window can do things to
rectangles that were the stuff of myth and legend in ages past.
* *Montage:* The Montage application that's included with Graphic
Workshop Professional will import as many pictures as you like and
provide you with a virtual cork board on which to place them. Add
frames and captions with a few clicks, and export your completed
montage to a graphic for subsequent distribution. Try to avoid
building all your cat pictures into a single page.
* <http://gra.mindworkshop.com/918-002.png>*Hexagon Filter:* Turn any
photograph into a flawless mosaic of six-sided tiles. If you're not
seriously into bee-keeping, they can be reminiscent of late
twentieth-century kitchen decor.
The example here hardly does justice to the art form — click on it
for a more representative view. Select the Hexagon option from
Graphic Workshop's View mode Filters window to hex your own pictures.
* *WebP:* Your web pages, social media posts and e-mailed photographs
to your family in Arizona can be both smaller and way better looking
if you store them as WebP documents, rather than JPEGs. Graphic
Workshop features full WebP support, as does the e-Paint UltraLight
application that installs with it. WebP is supported by all the
current web browsers.
* *Fast JPEG:* Graphic Workshop has the quickest JPEG reader in the
known universe... most JPG graphics will have opened before the
echoes of your mouse clicking have entirely faded away. Be sure to
select the LibJpeg Turbo option in the JPEG Processor field of
Graphic Workshop's Setup window.
* *e-Paint UltraLight:* Graphic Workshop includes a light,
easy-to-master edition of our justifiably renowned e-Paint
application. Retouch your photographs, draw animation cells or
install the heads of unpopular politicians on the bodies of aliens
and start your own tabloid newspaper.
* *Application Reset Blocker:* One of the more annoying behaviors of
Windows 10 is its propensity for reverting the non-Microsoft
applications you've associated with specific file types to
sort-of-comparable apps that were installed with Windows. It does so
from time to time for no apparent reason... and then it displays a
seemingly endless sequence of notification windows like the one
above to make sure you're aware that it was displeased with your
previous choice of software. The Application Reset Blocker that
installs with Graphic Workshop will disabuse it of this behavior.

Pagan Daybook 10 Revision 3
Pagan Daybook 10 has been updated. Among its new and enhanced features are:
* ***JPEG Library:* The library that reads and writes JPEG documents —
or .JPG files — has been updated to the latest release. This
addresses a potential stability and security issue, and it improves
the already light-speed JPEG management in Pagan Daybook.
* The high-speed JPEG reader improves the performance of Pagan
Daybook's screen saver, among other things.
We urge all users of Pagan Daybook to update to the current release
and nail these vulnerabilities before they nail you.
* *Observance Database: *Updates the observance database, addresses a
few typos. The gods favor decent spelling... probably.
* *Performance: *Addresses a number of GDI and performance issues that
software developers never really stop meddling with.
* *Documentation:* Updates the documentation.

Screen Saver Construction 10 Revision 3
(second notification)
Screen Saver Construction Set 10 has been updated. Among its new and
enhanced features are:
* *JPEG Library:* The library that reads and writes JPEG documents —
or .JPG files — has been updated to the latest release. This
addresses a potential stability and security issue, and it improves
the already light-speed JPEG management in Screen Saver Construction Set
We urge all users of Screen Saver Construction Set to update to the
current release and nail these vulnerabilities before they nail you.
* *Legacy Windows Support:* A fairly ruthless review of the Screen
Saver Construction Set document runtime has identified a number of
legacy Windows issues — support for features of Windows that are
deprecated, or no longer exist. Dispatching this functionality to
the furthest reaches of time has made the runtime, and hence all
Screen Saver Construction Set documents, quicker and less demanding
of memory and system resources.
* *Page Editor:* Several user-interface issues in the page editor have
been addressed.
* *Performance: *Addresses a number of GDI and performance issues that
software developers never really stop meddling with.
* *Documentation:* Updates the documentation.

PNG MNG Construction Set 10 Revision 7
(additional notification)
If you build or maintain web pages and you're still using GIF
animations, prepare to experience the state of the art.
PNG MNG Construction Set 10 has been updated. Among its new and enhanced
features are:
* *Batch Processor:* Addresses a number of issues in the PNG MNG
Construction Setbatch processor that hitherto prevented it from
working under some configurations of Windows. We frown on things not
working.
* *PNG In-line Graphics:* The Export to ILG function — to create
in-line HTML animations — can now them as PNG data as well as GIF.
This will let you embed true-color animations with millisecond
timing and flawless alpha transparency directly in your HTML
documents, with no references to external files.
* *Crop:* Several user-interface inconsistencies... and a few genuine
bugs... have been stomped in the Crop window. Cropped animations now
appear in new document windows.
* *Flip and Rotate:* Nails a problem in which the background color
button didn't always select the color it thought it was selecting.
* *Protection Matrix:* The Protection Matrix window — to divide
single-image graphics into multiple tiles, such that they're way
more difficult to right-click and make off with — has been updated.
It creates cleaner HTML, and allows its images to be written to a
sub-folder.
* *Performance: *Addresses a number of GDI and performance issues that
software developers never really stop meddling with.
* *Documentation:* Updates the documentation.
