<p style="line-height: 130%;"><font face="Helvetica,
Arial, sans-serif">Graphic Workshop Professional 12
has been updated.</font></p>
<p style="line-height: 130%;"><font face="Helvetica,
Arial, sans-serif">In this release:<br>
</font></p>
<ul style="line-height: 130%;">
<li><font face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif"><b>Effects:</b>
Several issues with the Graphic Workshop Effect
window as it applies to animations have been
addressed. It hitherto could produce mangled GIF
documents under some configurations of Windows.<br>
<br>
</font></li>
<li><font face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif"><b>Save
As:</b> Graphic Workshop's Save As window — as
summoned by View, among others — now references the
default file extension field in Setup. If you enter
a file name with no extension, it will append the
default extension to create a legal file name. Note
that if you set File Extension Case in Setup to
Lower Case, the file extensions added by Save As
will all be in lower case.<br>
<br>
</font></li>
<li><font face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif"><b>Animation
Workshop UltraLight:</b> Graphic Workshop's
ancillary application Animation Workshop UltraLight
has been updated to address some issues with its
frame modes, most notably one that caused it to
display spurious frames in animations with Image
objects having negative offset values. Several
cosmetic issues associated with the Respect Frame
option have also been nailed.<br>
<br>
</font></li>
<li><font face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif"><b>Caption:</b>
Graphic Workshop's default Caption window has been
updated such that its typographic controls — font,
font size, text color and so on — will apply to the
entire text field if no text has been selected.
We've heard from a number of users of Caption who
suspected it was broken, as it appears to do noting
if no selection is available.<br>
<br>
</font></li>
<li><font face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif"><b>Crop: </b>The
Graphic Workshop crop window has been updated to
address several issues. A cosmetic bug in the
Properties window that could leave spurious
selection lines near the example image has been
stomped. A rounding error that caused dimensions set
by Properties to be off by one pixel under some
configurations of Windows is no more. <br>
<br>
</font></li>
<li><font face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif"><b>EXIF: </b>The
Turbo JPEG processor will now create JPEG files with
EXIF metadata intact if you enable Preserve EXIF
Blocks in Setup and convert or process source
graphics having EXIF data.<br>
<br>
</font></li>
<li><font face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif"><b>Print
3D:</b> The Print Dodecahedron and Print Cube
windows now include fields to set the printed
characteristics of dashed lines. It has come to our
attention that some Windows output devices — most
notably the Microsoft Print to PDF printer option —
can render dashed lines with tiny spaces between the
dashes in question, so the lines look more or less
solid. If you're confronted by such a device, set
the Dashed Pen Mode in one of the foregoing windows
to a non-zero value — five or six works well in most
cases.<br>
