<p>Graphic Workshop Professional 9 has been updated.
This release:</p>
<br>
<ul>
<li>
<p>Updates the <b>JPEG functionality</b> in Graphic
Workshop and its ancillary applications to be
blindingly, shockingly <b>fast</b>... and
possibly violate a few laws of physics. <br>

height="111" align="right">The new JPEG reader
also addresses a number of potential <b>security
holes</b> which could have allowed a
maliciously-crafted JPG file to execute arbitrary
code and compromise a computer running previous
releases of Graphic Workshop . <br>
<br>
We urge everyone running Graphic Workshop to update
to this release really, really soon — some time
yesterday would be ideal.<br>
<br>
If you're running a version of Graphic Workshop <b>
older than version 9</b>, please see the <b>Updates</b>
section, below.<br>
<br>
To enable the high-speed JPEG reader in an existing
installation of Graphic Workshop Professional 9,
click on the Gear button in the Graphic Workshop
tool bar to open ts Setup window, select the Formats
tab and set JPEG Processor in the lower right corner
to <b>LibJPEG Turbo (fastest)</b>.<br>
<br>
There's a complete discussion of the available JPEG
processors for Graphic Workshop in the Formats
document of its manual, in the JPG section.<br>
<br>
</li>
<li>Updates the Graphic Workshop <b>image handling
libraries</b> with our new anti-tampering logic to
make them more secure and resistant to
cyber-cretins.<br>
<br>
</li>
<li>Updates the <b>Welcome Wizard</b> to include a
selection item for the JPEG processor for use with
Graphic Workshop, and to fix a minor bug.<br>
</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Updates the <b>EXIF Editor</b> to address several
cosmetic issues.<br>
<br>
</li>
<li>Fixes a bug in the <b>View</b> <b>window</b>
title bar which could cause it to display incorrect
dimension values after using the Filters window.<br>
<br>
</li>
<li>Updates the documentation.<br>
<br>
</li>
<li>Addresses a number of GDI and performance issues
that software developers never really stop meddling
with.<br>
<br>
</li>
</ul>

<h3>Upgrades</h3>
<p>If you have registered or upgraded a registration for
Graphic Workshop Professional 8, we invite you to
upgrade to Graphic Workshop Professional 9 for <b>half
the current new-user price</b>.<br>
<br>
<b>Older software: </b>If you're running a registered
older version of Graphic Workshop — Graphic Workshop 4
or better — we'd like to urge you in strongest
possible terms to upgrade to version 9, so the
security holes in the old JPEG reader don't risk
letting the slime of the Internet access your
computer. <br>
</p>
<p>For the duration of this update cycle — for the next
week, at least — we invite you to<b> upgrade to
Graphic Workshop Professional 9</b> for <b>half
price</b>, even if the reduced-price upgrade window
is no longer valid for your version. <br>
</p>
<p>Just ignore the warning about upgrades only being
applicable to version 8 and 9 at our e-commerce page —
your Graphic Workshop upgrade order will be accepted.<br>

<p>The Ultimate Screen Clock 9 has been updated. This
release:</p>
<ul>
<li>Corrects the <b>document path</b> where The
Ultimate Screen Clock looks for style overrides,
user-created clocks and other ancillary items. It
was previously set to My Documents/My Screen Clocks
— sadly, a non-existent folder as far as the
software was concerned, rather than My Documents/My
Screen Clocks 9 , as it is now.<br>
</li>
</ul>
<p> From the previous weekend's release:<br>
</p>
<ul>
<li> Adds the <b>Radio</b> <b>clock style</b>,
examples of which are illustrated here. The small
graphics don't really do this one justice. <br>
<br>
<img
src="cid:part30.696E03DE.38026B1B@mindworkshop.com"
alt="" moz-do-not-send="false" class=""
width="504" vspace="10" hspace="10" height="97"
align="right">Harkening back to a fanciful past —
which is way more fun than a dystopian present — the
Radio style is available in three sizes, with and
without a bezel, and in animated versions in which
its digits cycle, just like back when a personal
computer was about the size of an Amazon warehouse.<br>
<br>
You might want to stand well back from your monitor
if you select one of the Huge style options.<br>
<br>
Note that you'll need to download and install the
extra styles library for The Ultimate Screen Clock
to access all the Radio style options.<br>
<br>
</li>
<li>Updates the <b>Select Style window</b> to
generate list graphics in the background, to
minimize the delay as <img
src="cid:part31.5D63269D.65B9507E@mindworkshop.com"
alt="" moz-do-not-send="false" class=""
width="424" vspace="10" hspace="10" height="73"
align="right">you initially scroll through the
available clocks. The Select Style windows are a lot
more responsive now, and way easier to use. There's
a complete discussion of this functionality in the
section of the Reference document that deals with
selecting styles, and we hasten to mention that it
can be disabled if you don't like it as much as we
did.<br>
<br>
</li>
<li>Updates the <b>PNG readers and writers</b> in The
Ultimate Screen Clock to address some security
issues. We strongly urge all users of The Ultimate
Screen Clock to update to this version to close
these potential security holes.<br>
<br>
</li>
<li>Addresses some potential timing issues in the<b>
Net Time</b> functionality.<br>
<br>
</li>
<li>Improves the <b>clock rendering engine</b>.<br>
<br>
</li>
<li>Addresses a number of<b> GDI and performance
issues</b> that software developers never really
stop meddling with.<br>
