release: <br>

<ul>
<li><font face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif">Accelerates
up the preferred Graphic Workshop JPEG processor
to pretty much the speed of light. We were
amazed... huge megapixel JPG files open before the
echos of your mouse clicking have died away. You
really have to see this one at work to properly
appreciate it.<br>
<br>
</font></li>
<li><font face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif">Addresses
a number of issues in the Filters window user
interface, most notably the cursors for the
original and processed image windows.<br>
<br>
</font></li>
<li><font face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif">Speeds
up the WebP reader. It enjoys much the same
performance boost as JPG.<br>
<br>
</font></li>
<li><font face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif">Addresses
a number of user-interface and cosmetic issues in
the Crop window, including the demise of the
dreaded flash cursors under the latest release of
Windows 10.<br>
<br>
</font></li>
<li><font face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif">Improves
the appearance of the Halftone and Lightbox
filters.<br>

<li><font face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif">Fixes a
bug in the controls of the Matt filter.<br>

Initial release of Graphic Workshop Professional
10:</b><br>
</font></p>
<p><font face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif">We've added
new functionality to the known universe's most
popular image management application, improved its
performance, included several fresh ancillary
applications and generally refined it to better get
along with Windows 10. (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.)<br>
</font> </p>
<p><font face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif">Among the
new features and enhancements to Graphic Workshop
Professional 10, you'll find that it:</font></p>

src="cid:part8.DA2EF7B7.05F58F63@mindworkshop.com"
alt="" class="" width="301" vspace="10"
hspace="10" height="199" align="right">Adds <b>Print
Workshop</b>. Create hard copy of your pictures
with precise size and positioning, down to the
nearest hundredth of an inch (or of a centimeter).
Effortless to configure, this is the ideal tool
for creating photographs suitable for framing,
flyers, handouts and other professional output on
paper. It can even be configured to include trim
lines and pre-press marks. Right-click on a
graphic and select Print Workshop form the menu
that appears.<br>
</font> <font face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif"><br>
</font> </li>
<li><font face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif">Improves
the speed of the Graphic Workshop browser windows
with<b> predictive thumbnail caching</b>. Once a
browser window has opened, Graphic Workshop will
take its best guess at the thumbnails you're
likely to scroll into view next and fetch them
when you're not doing anything, pretty much
eliminating any visible delay when you do get to
them. It's the sort of thing only software
developers could get excited about, but it works
really well.<br>

alt="" moz-do-not-send="true" width="143"
vspace="2" hspace="10" height="143"
align="right">Adds a set of <b>CGI surface
textures</b> to the Graphic Workshop Fractals
and Textures window. Create convincing real-world
surfaces, or build an exo-planet of your own
devising. These things also look breathtaking when
they appear in the Matt and Frame function of
Graphic Workshop. A few examples of the limitless
capabilities of these textures appears to your
right... admittedly squeezed into some fairly
restricted real estate.<br>
</font> <font face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif"><br>
</font> </li>
<li><font face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif">Adds a
batch mode to the <b>Identify Mystery Files</b>
function of Graphic Workshop. Hold down the Shift
key on your keyboard and select Identify Mystery
Files from the File menu.<br>
</font> <font face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif"><br>

alt="" class="" width="271" vspace="10"
hspace="10" height="80" align="right">Adds <b>The
UltraLight Screen Clock</b>. A simplified
version of our immensely powerful and wildly
popular Ultimate Screen Clock, The UltraLight
Screen Clock will add your choice of sophisticated
digital or analog clocks to your Windows desktop.
It's cool enough to shatter penguins and have PETA
people protesting outside your digs for a solid
week.<br>
</font> <font face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif"><br>
</font> </li>
<li><font face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif">Addresses
a problem in<b> Icon Editor UltraLight</b> that

for no apparent reason under some configurations
of Windows.<br>

align="right"></a>Adds a <b>Hexagon</b>
filter to the View mode Filters window. Render
your favorite pictures as a matrix of six-sided
interlocking tiles. Channel your inner bee-keeper,
harken back to the days of retro floor coverings
or just do geometry because you can remember how.
This one looks really cool when it's applied to
high-resolution digital camera images. The example
to your right is somewhat space-deprived — click
on it to see a larger picture.<br>
</font> <font face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif"><br>
</font> </li>
<li><font face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif">Adds the
<b>Graphic Workshop Screen Saver</b>. Have your
computer display your choice of pictures in a
dynamic, animated slide show when your system is
idle. Run in its native application mode, the
Graphic Workshop Screen Saver also make a quick,
accessible engine to display banners and
advertisements on a large flat-screen monitor for
retail environments.<br>

Reset Blocker</b>. If you've been beset by
Windows 10 periodically flying into a panic and
resetting most of the applications you've selected
to open documents to Edge, Photos, Groove and so
on, you can banish the "app caused a problem"
notification with this intuitive tool. Be sure to
read the Help for this application before you
click on Go.<br>

hspace="10" height="111" align="right">Updates
the primary <b>JPEG library</b> used by Graphic
Workshop to the latest release. This addresses
several potential security and image quality
issues, and a few... albeit very obscure... bugs.
We'd like to take this opportunity to stress the
importance of keeping whatever reads JPG files on
your computer up to date — there are
unquestionably maliciously-crafted graphics in the
wild that can crash older JPEG software and
execute arbitrary, and potentially nasty, code on
your computer.<br>
</font> <font face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif"><br>
</font> </li>
<li><font face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif">Updates
the <b>WebP</b> libraries to the latest software
from Google, to create more attractive lossy files
and otherwise improve reality as we know it.<br>
</font> <font face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif"><br>
</font> </li>
<li><font face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif">Recognizes
the<b> .jpeg</b> file extension as being valid
JPEG files.<br>
</font> <font face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif"><br>
</font> </li>
<li><font face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif">Adds a
second <b>Pipes</b> style to the Textures and
Filters window — thanks to everyone who e-mailed
about the initial plumber's nightmare. Choose
between the Industrial and Stainless Steel
styles. <br>
</font> <font face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif"><br>
</font> </li>
<li><font face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif">Updates
the <b>TIFF</b> reader logic to correctly handle
weird sixteen-bit gray-scale images correctly.
There's always one more peculiar TIFF file.<br>
</font> <font face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif"><br>
</font> </li>
<li><font face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif">Fixes a
bug in the <b>Search</b> window that could allow
it to be reduced in size sufficiently to obscure
the Exit button under some configurations of
Windows.<br>
</font> <font face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif"><br>
</font> </li>
<li><font face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif">Further
enhances the sneakiness of the <b>validation
logic</b> to reduce the likelihood of Graphic
Workshop un-registering itself and thereafter
deciding that its key is already in use because
Windows 10 has silently updated something.
Hopefully this one nails the problem until the end
of time. Yes, we said that last year too, but
Windows 10 proved to be sneakier than we'd
anticipated.<br>
</font> <font face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif"><br>
</font> </li>
<li><font face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif">Addresses
a number of GDI and performance issues that
software developers never really stop meddling
with.<br>

Paint is intuitive, easy to use and it won't require
that you get involved with complicated mathematics,
higher-order spatial dimensions or a manual that
requires more than one human lifetime to read. <br>
</font> <font face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif"><br>
Anyone with sufficient eye-hand coordination to
successfully operate a web browser should be able to
master Alpha Paint in under an hour.<br>
</font> <font face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif"><br>
We've added new functionality to Alpha Paint, improved
its performance and generally refined it to better get
along with Windows 10. (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.)<br>
</font>
<p><font face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif">Among the
new features and enhancements to Alpha Paint, you'll
find that it:</font></p>
<ul>
<li><font face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif">Adds a
Scrapbook window, to keep track of image fragments
you wight like to use again in the future.<br>
</font> <font face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif"><br>
</font> </li>
<li><font face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif">Addresses
a problem that could cause Alpha Paint's drawing
cursors to blink or flash for no apparent reason
under some configurations of Windows.<br>
</font> <font face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif"><br>
</font> </li>
<li><font face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif">Updates
the <b>WebP</b> libraries to the latest software
from Google, to create more attractive lossy files
and otherwise improve reality as we know it.<br>
</font> <font face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif"><br>
</font> </li>
<li><font face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif">Further
enhances the sneakiness of the <b>validation
logic</b> to reduce the likelihood of Alpha
Paint un-registering itself and thereafter
deciding that its key is already in use because
Windows 10 has silently updated something.
Hopefully this one nails the problem until the end
of time. Yes, we said that last year too, but
Windows 10 proved to be sneakier than we'd
anticipated.<br>
</font> <font face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif"><br>
</font> </li>
<li><font face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif">Addresses
a number of GDI and performance issues that
software developers never really stop meddling
with.<br>
<br>
</font> </li>
<li><font face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif">Updates
the documentation.</font></li>
