Text Effects #2, #3, #4 and #5 Plugins Revision 2
The Text Effects #2, #3, #4 and #5 animation plugins for GIF
Construction Set Professional 11 and PNG MNG Construction Set 11 have
been updated. In this release:
* *User Interface:* Updates plugin user interfaces to make them
cleaner and more intuitive.
* *Textures: *Fixes some intermittent crashes when the texture fill
options were used under some configurations of Windows 10.
* *Fountains:* Addresses a problem with the plugins accessing their
fountain libraries under some builds of Windows, and updates the
default fountain libraries with an expanded palette of entries.
* *Code Review:* We've completed a line-by-line review of the
underlying source code of the Text Effects plugins. This has
resulted in a smaller, faster applications... and we dispatched a
number of stealthy bugs, memory leaks and security issues.
* *Performance:* Addresses a number of GDI and performance issues that
software developers never really stop meddling with.
* *Documentation:* Updates the documentation.

Upgrades
If you have valid registration keys for the Text Effects plugins — no
matter how old they are — they'll work in the latest versions. You will
need version 11 of *GIF Construction Set Professional* or *PNG MNG
Construction Set* to install them, however.
Should your installation of Construction Set Professional or PNG MNG
Construction Set be older than version 11, we invite you to upgrade to
the current releases for *half the single-user license price*.

PNG MNG Construction Set 11 Revision 6
(second notification)
PNG MNG Construction Set 11 has been updated. In this release:
* *WebP:* The WebP library has been updated to address a number of
image quality issues and to enhance its security.
* *JPEG Security: *The JPEG reader has been updated to the newest
library release to address several potential vulnerabilities. This
one's really essential.
We'd like to urge all users of PNG MNG Construction Set to update to
this release as quickly as possible.
* *Plugins:* The plugin interface has been dissuaded of its propensity
for crashing under some configurations of Windows.
* *Export to WebP:* A bug in the Export to WebP window that could
cause the background color in exported animations to be set
incorrectly has been stomped.
* *Background Color:* The Animated PNG background color logic has been
updated. This both ensures that your background colors will be set
correctly, and prevents the software from crashing on occasion,
under some builds of Windows.
* *Performance: *Addresses a number of GDI and performance issues that
software developers never really stop meddling with.
* *Documentation:* Updates the documentation.

Graphic Workshop Professional —
10 More Cool Features
(second notification)
Graphic Workshop Professional 11 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.
* *Photo Fine-Tune:* Select Photo Fine-Tune from the Filters window in
Graphic Workshop's View window to quickly and interactively refine
your pictures.
* *Secure EXIF:* Right-click on any JPEG or PNG graphic and select
Secure EXIF to instantly delete the metadata from your graphics
before you upload them to social media and provide every thief on
the planet with the exact GPS coordinates to find your stuff.
* *GWS Screen Saver:* Quickly configure your favorite pictures to
appear as a sophisticated multimedia Windows screen saver,
optionally with your choice of background music.
* *Print Photographs:* The Print Photographs option of Graphic
Workshop's Image menu will create traditional printed photos
suitable for passing around among friends and family no one in his
or her right mind would trust with a smartphone.
* *Montage Builder UltraLight:* Graphic Workshop's Montage Builder
ancillary application will quickly assemble multiple pictures into
complex pages — complete with frames and titles if you're feeling
creative — and export them to single-image JPEGs, suitable for
e-mailing and posting.
* *Web Checker:* The Graphic Workshop Web Checker tool will scan your
web site for broken links, missing graphics and other common
elements of mortifying embarrassment.
* *****Absolute Noise:* The Absolute Noise pane of the Textures and
Fractals window, accessible through Graphic Workshop's Image menu,
will create complex fractal surfaces ideal for picture mats, web
page backgrounds and tectonic levels of time-wasting.
* *GIF Construction Set UltraLight:* Create flawless web page
animation in seconds using this simplified edition of the known
universe's most popular web page animator... even if you know less
about GIF animations than most cats know about quantum mechanics.
* *Face Detection:* The Face Detection filter in Graphic Workshop's
View window can automatically locate and obscure the faces of the
subjects of your pictures, protecting their privacy and defusing
their lawyers.
* *Icon Editor UltraLight:* Effortlessly create sophisticated Windows
icons to enhance your desktop or serve as web page favicons.
