    Graphic Workshop Professional 12 Revision 10


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


Graphic Workshop Professional 12 has been updated.

In this release:

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

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

    Keeping Graphic Workshop's JPEG readers up to date and secure being
    a substantial bulwark against the barbarian hoards, you can now
    check the TurboJPEG library's version in the Graphic Workshop Help →
    About → Credits window, right at the bottom of the scroll list. The
    current one is 2.1.3.

  * *Move and Copy:* The Graphic Workshop Move and Copy window has been
    updated to display a preview image — the graphic you right-clicked
    on or the first selected picture in a batch — and the number of
    selected documents for batch processes to confirm that you're
    actually moving or copying what you think you are.

  * *Caption: *The Graphic Workshop Caption windows have been updated to
    address a number of user-interface issues.

  * *Animation Workshop UltraLight:* The Animation UltraLight
    application has been updated to nail a bug that prevented it from
    correctly respecting animation frames in the Animation object
    Preview window... under some configurations of Windows.

  * *Camera:* The Graphic Workshop Camera screen capture's Caption
    window has been updated to stomp a few bugs into digital oblivion.

  * *e-Paint UltraLight: *The Grid window in e-Paint UltraLight has been
    updated to display a preview that illustrates the current grid
    parameters.

  * *Graphic Workshop Screen Saver: *Addresses some cosmetic issues in
    the Graphic Workshop Screen Saver configuration window.

    Alpha Paint 12 Revision 3


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

    display incorrectly after using one of the Transform functions has
    been stomped.

  * *Resize:* A bug that could crash Alpha Paint after invoking the
    Resize function under some configurations of Windows is history.

    unpredictable behaviors when objects were drawn or dragged to the
    outermost column or row of pixels in a graphic under some
    configurations of Windows has been dealt with.

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

    The Ultimate Screen Clock 12 Revision 3


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


The Ultimate Screen Clock 12 has been updated.

In this release:

  * *Select Clock Style:* An issue has turned up in the Select Clock
    Style window in which scrolling past the Font clock item could
    destabilize or crash The Ultimate Screen Clock under some
    configurations of Windows. It has been dispatched to an alternate
    universe.

 From the previous release:

  * *JPEG Security:* The Ultimate Screen Clock's Turbo JPEG library has
    been updated to the latest releases to address some security and
    image quality issues.

    We'd like to urge all users of The Ultimate Screen Clock to update
    to this release as quickly as possible.

    Keeping The Ultimate Screen Clock's JPEG readers up to date and
    secure being a substantial bulwark against the barbarian hoards, you
    can now check the TurboJPEG library's version in The Ultimate Screen
    Clock right-click → About → Credits window, right at the bottom of
    the scroll list. The current one is 2.1.3.

  * <http://gra.mindworkshop.com/1056-002.png>*Netherworld:* This
    release of The Ultimate Screen Clock includes the digital and analog
    Netherworld clock styles, which are seriously dark and goth and
    infernal and the stuff of legend. They come in multiple sizes and
    colors — the digital Netherworld styles are available with and
    without a bezel and with an optional spooky digital dissolve.

    The example above arguably fails to do it justice — click on it for
    a larger clock. We should also point out that this graphic is an
    animation, not actual software. It's decidedly unlikely that it's
    displaying the correct time.

    We hasten to add that most of the variations for the Netherworld
    style are available in the extra styles library for The Ultimate
    Screen Clock. Be sure to download and install it for the total
    Netherworld experience.

  * *Select Clock Style:* The Select Clock Style windows in The Ultimate
    Screen Clock have been updated to make them shockingly quick.

  * *Small Analog Styles:* A bug that caused a number of the smaller
    analog clock styles to be displayed with damaged graphics has been
    ruthlessly stomped.

  * *Rendering Engine:* The clock rendering engine has been updated to
    improve the appearance of outlined straight hands.

      Upgrades

If you have registered or upgraded a registration for The Ultimate

    e-Paint 12 Revision 3


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


e-Paint 12 has been updated.

In this release:

  * ***JPEG Security:* e-Paint's Turbo JPEG library has been updated to
    the latest releases to address some security and image quality issues.

    We'd like to urge all users of e-Paint to update to this release as
    quickly as possible.

    Keeping e-Paint's JPEG readers up to date and secure being a
    substantial bulwark against the barbarian hoards, you can now check
    the TurboJPEG library's version in the e-Paint Help → About →
    Credits window, right at the bottom of the scroll list. The current
    one is 2.1.3.

  * *PNG:* The PNG library has been updated to address an issue that
    could cause it to incorrectly read interlaced PNG graphics under
    some configurations of Windows.

  * *Favorites: *A number of issues with e-Paint's Favorites window have
    been nailed.

  * *Grid:* The Grid window now includes an actual-size example of your
    current grid setting, so you can see what it will really look like.

  * *Font Sample Size:* The size of the example typeface names in the
    name combo for the Text tool can be configured in e-Paint's Setup
    window.

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