</p>
<p style="line-height: 130%;"><font face="Helvetica,
Arial, sans-serif"><b>Graphic Workshop Professional 14</b>
has been released.<br>
<br>
We've added new functionality to the known universe's
most popular image management application, improved
its performance, included some fresh ancillary
software 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.)<br>
<br>
Among the new features and enhancements to Graphic
Workshop Professional<br>
14, you'll find:<br>
</font></p>
<ul style="line-height: 130%;">
<li><font face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif"><a

target="_blank" alt="animate transitions"

alt="" class="" moz-do-not-send="true"
width="251" vspace="10" hspace="20" height="146"
border="0" align="right"></a><b>Animate
Transitions:</b> Create sophisticated animations
and videos from your favorite photographs. The
example to your right doesn't get within a
light-year of the capabilities of this technology —
click on it to experience a much higher-resolution
video, complete with a sound track.<br>
<br>
Select Animate Objects from the Image menu of
Graphic Workshop, and then Animate Transitions from
the sub-menu that appears. Add some of your own
pictures to the Animate Transitions window, click on
Preview and be amazed.<br>
<br>
</font></li>
<li><font face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif"><b>Speed:</b>
The low-level pixel logic for Graphic Workshop and
its ancillary applications has been re-written in
optimized machine language. Since most of what
Graphic Workshop does involves managing pixels, it
has become substantially quicker.<br>
<br>
</font></li>
<li><font face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif"><img

alt="" class="" moz-do-not-send="true" width="32"
vspace="5" hspace="20" height="117" border="0"
align="right"><b>JPEG Security:</b> The Graphic
Workshop JPEG 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 Graphic Workshop to
update to this release, 'coz the universe has a lot
of really bad people in it.<br>
<br>
</font></li>
<li><font face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif"><b>WebP:</b>
The WebP library has been updated to improve its
performance.<br>
<br>
</font></li>
<li><font face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif"><b>TIFF:</b>
Graphic Workshop's TIFF functionality has been
updated to support a much wider palette of TIFF
files, and to address a number of performance
issues. While TIFF may in fact be something of a
revenant of the distant past, TIFF graphics don't
think so, and they still turn up.<br>
<br>
</font></li>
<li><font face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif"><img

alt="" class="" moz-do-not-send="true" width="150"
vspace="5" hspace="20" height="226" border="0"
align="right"><b>Impact:</b> The new Impact filter
in Graphic Workshop's View mode Filter window will
refine and nuance your photographs... or it will rip
a hole in space-time and make your pictures visible
from low Earth orbit. With awesome power comes
awesome responsibility.<br>
<br>
</font></li>
<li><font face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif"><b>Animation:</b>
A memory leak in the Graphic Workshop animation and
video logic that could shut down Graphic Workshop
under some configurations of Windows is now history.<br>
<br>
</font></li>
<li><font face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif"><b>Identify
Mystery Files:</b> The batch mode of Graphic
Workshop's Identify Mystery Files window has been
improved to correctly deal with documents having no
file extensions, and to speed up its deliberations.<br>
<br>
</font></li>
<li><font face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif"><b>More
Identify Mystery Files:</b> All Graphic Workshop's
batch processes will now apprise you of source
documents having incorrect extensions, and
automatically rename them for you. <br>
<br>
</font></li>
<li><font face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif"> <b>Filters:</b>
A number of Graphic Workshop's image filters that
rely on lookup tables have been improved to remove
inappropriate dark pixels under some configurations
of Windows.<br>
<br>
</font></li>
<li><font face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif"><img
src="http://gra.mindworkshop.com/1082-003.png"
alt="" class="" moz-do-not-send="true" width="232"
vspace="5" hspace="20" height="176" border="0"
align="right"><b>Font Wrangler UltraLight: </b>Preview,
install and remove fonts with the font management
tool that should have come with Windows.<br>
<br>
</font></li>
<li><font face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif"><b>Overrides:</b>
An issue with the format override logic in the View
mode Save As window that caused the wrong format
override window to open under some configurations of
Windows is history.<br>
<br>
</font></li>
<li><font face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif"><b>Shards:
</b>The View mode Shards filter logic has been
enhanced to handle image edges more convincingly.<br>
<br>
</font></li>
<li><font face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif"><b>Textures:</b>
A number of image instabilities in the Textures and
Fractals window have been addressed.<br>
<br>
</font></li>
<li><font face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif"><b>Colors:</b>
The color selection window that appears whenever
Graphic Workshop prompts you to select a color has
been enhanced with an expanded palette of more
contemporary colors — scroll to the bottom of the
list to see them. In addition, you can now
re-arrange the color list by dragging and dropping
its items.<br>
<br>
</font></li>
<li><font face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif"><b>Video:
</b>Conversion from animations to digital video
under Graphic Workshop will now preserve the
original animation running time.<br>
<br>
</font></li>
<li><font face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif"><b>Social
Media:</b> Two new background options have been
added to the Graphic Workshop Social Media window. A
memory leak in Social media has been stomped.<br>
<br>
</font></li>
<li><font face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif"><b>Browser
Windows:</b> An issue that could cause Graphic
Workshop's browser windows to be positioned such
that their scroll bars were inaccessible under some
configurations of Windows has been addressed.<br>
<br>
</font></li>
<li><font face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif"><b>AVI:</b>
Several issues with the AVI Override window have
been addressed, and the AVI writer now correctly
manages the length of sound objects in documents
converted to AVI.<br>
<br>
</font></li>
<li><font face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif"><b>Virtual
Thumbnails:</b> Graphic Workshop's virtual
thumbnail engine will now access the Windows
thumbnail database for its images, making the
virtual thumbnail mode shockingly quick.<br>
<br>
</font></li>
<li><font face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif"><b>Rotate
Filter: </b>The Graphic Workshop View mode Rotate
filter's Preserve Original Size option now handles
background colors correctly.<br>
<br>
</font></li>
<li><font face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif"><b>File
Names: </b>Graphic Workshop now defaults to
looking for exact matches for file extensions. In
previous editions, Windows' ambiguity in dealing
with extensions like .JPE and .JPEG could persuade
Graphic Workshop to duplicate some browser items, or
not show them at all. <br>
<br>
</font></li>

<li><font face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif">Be sure to
