    Graphic Workshop Professional 12 Revision 2



Graphic Workshop Professional 12 has been released.

We've added new functionality to the known universe's most popular image 
management application, improved its performance, included some fresh 
ancillary software and generally refined it to better get along with 
Windows 10 and 11. (We hasten to add that it still performs admirably 
under earlier builds of Windows, all the way back to Windows XP, if 
you're feeling retro.)

Among the new features and enhancements to Graphic Workshop Professional
12, you'll find...

In this release:

  * *Alpha Channels:* The initial release of Graphic Workshop
    Professional 12 didn't manage source graphics with alpha
    transparency correctly for all its batch processes, under some
    configurations of Windows. Now it does.

  * *UltraLight Screen Clock:* The revision 1 installer for Graphic
    Workshop Professional 12 failed to install the clock styles for The
    UltraLight Screen Clock under some configurations of Windows, which
    pretty much brought the clock to an ignominious halt. This has been
    addressed.

  * *Temporary Files:* Graphic Workshop Professional 12 now includes
    logic to automatically dispose of any temporary files that get left
    behind, freeing up some hard drive real estate. See the discussion
    of Temporary Files in the section of the Graphic Workshop Reference
    document entitled Browser Windows.

 From the initial release:

  * *Quick 64-bit Architecture:* Graphic Workshop is now available in
    both traditional 32-bit and leading-edge 64-bit editions. The 64-bit
    software is fast, gets along more favorably with Windows and pretty
    much never runsinto memory issues. We hasten to note that
    registering or updating to Graphic Workshop Professional 12 will
    avail you of a registration key that works with either edition... or
    both, if you're feeling adventurous.

  * *Windows 11 Compatible:* The version 11 software has been showing
    some decidedly rough edges under the Windows 11 betas, and may stop
    installing and/or running therein when Windows 11 is released.
    Graphic Workshop Professional 12 rocks under Windows 11.

  * ***Animate Objects:* Create animated photo-dodecahedrons and
    photo-cubes – like the one to your right – with a few clicks. These
    animations are suitable for use with web pages, social media and for
    attracting attention to your e-mails. Select Image → Animate Objects.

  * *Animation Conversion:* Convert – and more to point – batch convert
    and process videos and animations. See the discussion of Animations
    in the Graphic Workshop Reference document.

  * *Audio:* Convert among Graphic Workshop's supported audio formats.

  * ***MP3:* Graphic Workshop now supports full MP3 reading and writing.

  * *Ogg Vorbis:* Graphic Workshop now supports full Ogg Vorbis reading
    and writing – Ogg Vorbis being a sophisticated MP3 alternative.

  * *Web Gallery:* Graphic Workshop's Web Gallery window has been
    completely re-written. Create sophisticated web pages for your
    photographs with clickable thumbnails, paging and index and way
    more... even if you've never been within a light-year of HTML
    coding. Select some pictures, and then select Image → Catalog → Web
    Gallery.

  * ***JPEG Security:* Graphic Workshop's Turbo JPEG and IJG JPEG
    libraries have been updated to the latest releases to address some
    security issues.

    We'd like to urge all users of Graphic Workshop to update to this
    release as quickly as possible.

  * *WebP:* Updates the library that imports WebP graphics for Graphic
    Workshop to address several potential security issues and to improve
    its image quality.

  * *Archive Manager:* The Archive Manager application will now extract
    files from archive formats other than ZIP. The 32-bit edition
    supports RAR, and the 64-bit edition supports pretty much every
    archive format in the known universe.

  * *Archive Manager Open With:* The Archive Manager right-click menu
    now includes access to Windows' Open With list, as it appears in
    File Explorer.

  * *Screen Capture:* The 64-bit edition of the GWS Camera screen
    capture now correctly handles capturing screens that have been
    adjusted with Windows' "make everything bigger" option.

  * *Digital Camera RAW Plugin:* The Digital Camera plugin has been
    updated to include a number of additional cameras.

  * *Windows Open With:* In addition to Graphic Workshop's configurable
    Open With function, accessible through the browser right-click
    window. the Open With item now offers access to Windows' Open With
    list, as it appears in File Explorer.

  * *Calendar Wizard UltraLight:* Create printable wall calendars with
    your photographs in this simplified edition of our popular Calendar
    Wizard application.

  * *Memory Leak:* A memory leak that beset the Paint functions of
    Graphic Workshop has been addressed.

  * *Montage:* A bug that could crash Montage on occasion has been stomped.

  * *ART Plugin:* An issue with the ART format plugin that could cause
    it to report spurious errors from time to time under some
    configurations of Windows has been addressed.


The *Graphic 
Workshop*<http://www.mindworkshop.com/gwsprint.html>*Printed Reference* 
has been revised for the version 12 software, and it includes sections 
for all the new functionality. It's available through Amazon — there's a 
link to it at the Graphic Workshop web page, and you can access it 
through the Get The Graphic Workshop Printed Reference item of Graphic 
Workshop's Help menu. Alternately, just click on the book to your right.


All the *Graphic Workshop plugins* have been upgraded to install in the 
version 12 software. Note that if you're currently using an earlier 
version of Graphic Workshop and its attendant plugins:

  * Be sure to uninstall the version 11 plugins before you install
    Graphic Workshop Professional 12. Failing this, Graphic Workshop
    Professional 12 should prompt you to do so automatically the first
    time you run it.

  * You'll need to download and install the new plugin installers to run
    under Graphic Workshop Professional 12.

  * The plugin installers will install plugins for both the 32- and
    64-bit editions of Graphic Workshop as applicable — you don't have
    to download separate 32- and 64-bit plugins.

If you're using a registered installation of the Graphic Workshop RAW 
Digital Camera and Smartphone plugin for an earlier release of Graphic 
Workshop, note that your existing registration key will work with the 
version 12 plugin — you won't have to buy it again.


As in years past, when you run Graphic Workshop Professional 12 for the 
first time, it will look for a previous installation of Graphic Workshop 
Professional 11 and optionally *copy your existing configuration*, so 
you won't have to set everything up by hand. Even your open browser 
windows will be preserved.
