Graphic Workshop Professional 9 has been updated. This
release: <br>
<ul>
<li>Adds progress bars to the <b>GIF and WebP
animation windows</b> to assist you in following
the action as an animation plays.<br>
<br>
</li>
<li>Adds a <b>Crop</b> option to the File menu of the
Graphic Workshop <b>View </b>window. Crop your
images directly from within View, rather than saving
them to temporary files are bouncing them around the
Windows clipboard.<br>
<br>
</li>
<li>Adds a <b>Film Grain filter</b> to the View mode
Filters window, to make your start-of-the-art
digital photographs look retro, vintage or
sufficiently convincing to fool people into
believing you haven't aged over the past forty
years. If you're too young to know what film grain
is, there's an explanation in the Reference section
of the Graphic Workshop Manual. (We couldn't make
something like this up...)<br>
<br>
</li>
<li>Adds a handler for <b>JFIF</b> files. It has come
our attention that in some contexts, JPG files can
appear with the file extension .JFIF. Graphic
Workshop now interprets these as conventional JPG
documents.<br>
<br>
</li>
<li>The Get Info window for <b>WebP documents</b>
will now tell you whether they contain still images
or animations. Look for the word Animation in the
Comments field for the latter.<br>
<br>
</li>
<li>Fixes a bug in the <b>Graphic Workshop Window
menu</b>'s application list which previously could
prevent Alpha Paint from opening correctly when it
was called from within Graphic Workshop, under some
builds of Windows.<br>
<br>
</li>
<li>Addresses a number of issues in the<b> file
association</b> links introduced in the previous
update. When you right-click on a file that Graphic
Workshop or one of its ancillary applications knows
how to open and select Open With, the appropriate
software will appear in in Windows Open With menu
and Open With window.<br>
<br>
</li>
<li>Fixes a problem with the Graphic Workshop<b> Crop
window</b> that could cause it to momentarily
display any application or desktop elements
appearing under Graphic Workshop when it closes.<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>

<p>Screen Saver Construction Set 9 has been Updated.
This release:</p>
<ul>
<li>Adds <b>WebP</b> support — import still images
and leading-edge animations from WebP documents. <br>
<br>
The WebP format was developed by Google. Supported
by the current versions of all the major web
browsers, it replaces PNG and JPEG with a
twenty-first century graphics standard. It allows
for true-color imaging and full alpha transparency.<br>
<br>

moz-do-not-send="true">blog</a>.<br>
<br>
</li>
<li>Updates the About window of the screen saver
runtime, which appears if someone clicks on the
Settings button for a screen saver in the Windows
Control Panel.<br>

Presentation Wizard 8, we invite you to upgrade to
Presentation Wizard 9 for <b>half the current new-user
price</b>. Click on the blue button below to visit the
upgrade page. <br>

<b>Older software: </b>If you're running a registered
older version of Presentation Wizard — Presentation

slime of the Internet access your computer. <br>
<p>For the duration of this update cycle — for the next
week, at least — we invite you to<b> upgrade to </b><b>Presentation
Wizard 9</b> for <b>half price</b>, even if the
reduced-price upgrade window is no longer valid for
your version. <br>

your Presentation Wizard upgrade order will be
accepted.<br>
