Graphic Workshop Professional 12 Revision 12
<http://www.mindworkshop.com/gwspro.html>
<http://www.mindworkshop.com/upgrade.html>*Versions of Graphic Workshop
older than 12 have some serious security issues. We don't recommend
using them to open graphics downloaded from the Internet.
This week, if you have registered Graphic Workshop 4 or better, we
invite you to upgrade to safe, secure Graphic Workshop Professional 12
for half price.
Click on the red graphic to your right.
*
Graphic Workshop Professional 12 has been updated.
In this release:
* *TIFF:* The TIFF reader in Graphic Workshop has been updated to
address several seriously insidious bugs that could crash Graphic
Workshop and potentially destabilize Windows. While TIFF files have
descended to a somewhat infrequently-visited stratum of obscurity,
they still turn up from time to time when no one's looking.
We urge all users of Graphic Workshop to update to this release
immediately.
* *Browser:* The Graphic Workshop Setup window now includes color
buttons to set the text and background colors used to create browser
thumbnails. By default, these objects draw their colors from
Windows' themes, but it has come to our attention that some themes
include decidedly questionable color choices.
If you've been finding the thumbnail text difficult to read, click
on the Setup button in Graphic Workshop's tool bar and select the
Display tab.
* *Reset:* If you encounter configuration issues with Graphic Workshop
that defy reason and exhaust profanity, you can now return it to its
"just installed" configuration state by holding down the Ctrl key on
your keyboard and running it. You'll be prompted to confirm that
you'd like to reset its configuration.
* *Backup*: Graphic Workshop will now create two levels of backup of
its configuration data. In the event that something bad happens, you
can easily restore an earlier configuration. See the discussion of
Graphic Workshop's INI file in the Configuration section of its manual.
* *Identify Mystery Files:* The Identify window now includes a preview
image so you can be sure that the file you're about to process is
what you're expecting.
* *Window Previews: *A growing number of Graphic Workshop's function
windows include preview images. If you're running Graphic Workshop
on a slow or very busy computer and you find the delay in generating
these graphics to be noticeable, you can disable them in the Display
tab of Setup. Uncheck the Show Window Preview Images option.
* *Montage:* A memory leak in Graphic Workshop's Montage UltraLight
application that could crash Montage and potentially destabilize
Windows has been addressed.
* *Install:* An issue with the 64-bit installer for Graphic Workshop
that could cause it to install the application incorrectly under
some configurations of Windows has been nailed.
If you haven't experienced Graphic Workshop Professional 12 as yet,

Animation Workshop 12 Revision 3
<http://www.mindworkshop.com/animwork.html>
Animation Workshop 12 has been updated.
In this release:
* *JPEG Security:* Animation Workshop'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 Animation Workshop to update to this
release as quickly as possible.
Keeping Animation 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 Animation Workshop's
Credits window, right at the bottom of the scroll list. The current
one is 2.1.3.
* *Gradient:* The Gradient section window that turns up in various
places in Animation Workshop and its ancillary applications has been
updated to address a problem that prevented the center coordinates
of a gradient from being set to negative values under some
configurations of Windows.
* *PNG:* The PNG reader in Animation Workshop has been updated to
correctly handle interlaced PNG graphics with slightly funky code
structures... of which there appear to be a substantial number. This
is not a security issue, but it will prevent the occasional PNG from
looking like a sand painting.
The PNG reader has also experienced a noticeable speed improvement.
* *Preview:* An issue that caused the Animation object Preview window
to display some peculiar cosmetic issues has been addressed. As this
feature is intended to illustrate what your animations look like in
the context of your completed animation, cosmetics are everything..
* *Performance:*Addresses a number of GDI and performance issues that
software developers never really stop meddling with.
* *Documentation:* Updates the documentation.

list. The current one is 2.1.3.

to improve its metrics and fully comply with the best practices of
web page design.

throughout the application.
