    Graphic Workshop Professional 15 Revision 4

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


*Graphic Workshop Professional 15* has been updated.

*In this release:*

  * *Memory Leak:* A resource memory issue that could cause Graphic
    Workshopto terminate unexpectedly has been addressed.

  * *Cloud Textures:* The fractal cloud texture generator that appears
    in Graphic Workshop's Fractals and textures window, and in several
    ancillary applications, has been updated to address a buffer overrun
    that could crash the software calling it.

  * *Fractal Textures: *The fractal texture generator that appears in
    Graphic Workshop's Fractals and textures window, and in several
    ancillary applications, has been updated to improve its aspect ratio
    management, such that non-square textures look more natural.

  * *Crop:* The Crop Properties window now includes a History field, to
    remember and instantly recall your crop settings. Note that if you
    don't find this as helpful as we did, it can be disabled by
    unselecting Enable History Lists in Setup.

  * *Transform:* A number of cosmetic user interface issues have been
    addressed in the Transform window.

  * *EXIF Editor: *Pretty much the same cosmetic user interface issues
    have been addressed in the EXIF Editor window.

  * *File Tip Sizes: *Graphic Workshop's file tips —the yellow windows
    that appear if you hover your mouse cursor over a thumbnail in one
    of Graphic Workshop's browser windows —now include the file
    dimensions and color depths for the graphics they pertain to.In the
    event that you're running Graphic Workshop on a slow or very busy
    computer and you find that this feature causes the file tip windows
    to appear with an unacceptable delay, you can disable this feature
    by unselecting Show File Tip Sizes in Setup.
