     1. Graphic Workshop Professional 5 Revision 6  
     _______________________________________________________________________



     Graphic Workshop Professional 5 has been updated. This release:


     - Adds pin-able favorites. You can pin pictures from Graphic Workshop's
       browser windows to your Favorites galleries - a colored push pin will
       appear in the thumbnails of pinned pictures. Access your Favorites
       galleries by selecting Favorites from the Graphic Workshop File menu.

       Perhaps not surprisingly, there's an extensive discussion about the
       new Favorites technology in the Reference document.


     - Adds resizable File Open and Save As windows. You can now make them
       as big as the universe itself - if you have a larger-than-normal
       monitor - and they'll stay that way between sessions. The Save As 
       window in the View window is the one you're most likely to have 
       encountered.

       Adjusting the size of one of the Save As windows within Graphic 
       Workshop itself will adjust the File Open and Save As windows in all 
       its ancillary applications, such as GWS Camera Screen Capture, 
       e-Paint UltraLight, Resource Extractor and so on.

       Once you resize one of the File Open or Save As windows within 
       Graphic Workshop, its new size will be remembered between sessions.
     

     - Fixes a number of problems with the Fractals and Textures engine, 
       some of which could crash Graphic Workshop. The others just created 
       really nasty textures.   


     - Updates the Web Gallery window to fix a bug in the JPG writer, remove
       ART support - in that none of the current web browsers seem to like
       it anymore either - and address a number of metrics issues.


     - Fixes several issues in the Search function, and updates the tool
       bar tips.


     - Fixes a problem in Resource Extractor that could cause it to crash
       or display weird pictures when it was confronted with unusual 
       Bitmap resource types.


     - Fixes a number of cosmetic and user interface issues in GIF 
       Construction Set UltraLight.


     - Updates the validation logic to address some occasional hiccups that 
       could manifest themselves during updates. You'll notice that it now
       displays an additional window after you complete the validation of
       this update. Fear not - it's a one shot deal.


     - Addresses a number of GDI and performance issues that software 
       developers never really stop meddling with.


     - Updates the documentation.
