    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.

    Announcing Presentation Wizard 15


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


*Presentation Wizard 15* has been released.

We've added new functionality to Presentation Wizard, improved its 
performance 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 Presentation Wizard 15, 
you'll find...

  * *Speed:* A quicker and more efficient architecture to make the most
    of the latest releases of Windows.

  * *PNG Security:* The Presentation Wizard PNG library has been updated
    to the latest release to address several potential security and
    performance issues. We'd like to take this opportunity to urge all
    users of Presentation Wizardto update to this release, 'coz the
    universe has a lot of really bad people in it.

    The current version of the PNG library is now available in the About
    → Credits window. It's currently 1.6.40.*

    *
  * *JPEG:* The Presentation Wizard JPEG library has been updated to
    version 3.0.1 to address a security issue. We'd like to take this
    opportunity to urge all users of Presentation Wizardto update to
    this release.

  * *WebP:* The Presentation WizardWebP library has been updated to
    version 1.3.2 to address a security issue. We'd like to take this
    opportunity to urge all users of Presentation Wizardto update to
    this release.

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

  * *Themes:* An issue in the theme interface common to most Alchemy
    Mindworks software that could leak resources and occasionally crash
    the applications in question has been mercilessly stomped.

  * *WIX Installer:* A bug in the version field of the installer
    creation logic has been addressed.

  * *Private Documents:* Presentation Wizard optionally can create its
    documents without storing creator information. Enable the Save
    Without Creator Information option in Setup.

  * *Drawing Engine:* A number of metrics and details have been improved
    in the Presentation drawing engines for Presentation Wizard.

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

  * *Documentation:* Updates the documentation.
