     1. PNG MNG Construction Set Professional 5 Revision 7 
     _______________________________________________________________________


     PNG MNG Construction Set Professional 5 has been updated. This release:


     - Fixes a problem that prevented the Open and Save As windows in PNG 
       MNG Construction Set from correctly setting the keyboard focus in 
       the file name field. Users who like to open one of these windows 
       and type blindly into them have found this a bit irksome... and 
       this included a few of us.
 

     - Fixes a bug in the Paint function that could cause it to create
       spurious temporary files, or, under some circumstances, to spend
       an inordinate amount of time trying to do so. 


     - Improves the timing of the View window.

 
     - Improves the Banners function.


     - Improves the color management of the Text Overlay function.


     - Updates a number of minor metrics issues in the Status Panel 
       generator.


     - Improves the Watermark function.


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


     - Updates the documentation.

     2. RAW Digital Camera Plugin Revision 8 for Graphic Workshop 
        Professional 5
     _______________________________________________________________________


     The RAW plugin for Graphic Workshop Professional has been updated to 
     support a number of new cameras, and to improve its image processing
     speed.

     The RAW Digital Camera Plugin currently supports 574 digital cameras.

     We recommend that users of the RAW plugin download and install the 
     current release.


     .......................................................................


     View and convert the native raw image files from many contemporary 
     Canon, Casio, Hasselblad, Kodak, Konica, Nikon, Leica, Minolta, 
     Olympus, Panasonic, Pentax, Sigma, Fuji and Sony high-end digital 
     cameras, plus Adobe Digital Negative files, to access the highest 
     possible image quality for your digital photography. The improved 
     detail resolution and color fidelity available with the Graphic 
     Workshop Professional RAW plugin compared to the default JPEG 
     configuration for most cameras is breathtaking.

     This plugin costs $34.99.

     If you own a supported digital camera - or if you're just thinking 
     about buying one - you and your immediate descendants will thank you 
     for downloading this plugin. See the download link, below, for a 
     complete list of the cameras the plugin supports.


     .......................................................................


     You can download the plugin at:

         http://www.mindworkshop.com/alchemy/gwsplugins.html#RAW

     .......................................................................


     IMPORTANT:

     You must be running Graphic Workshop Professional 5 to install this 
     plugin.

     If you're running Graphic Workshop 4, you can still upgrade to the
     current Graphic Workshop Professional 5 software for half price.

     Please see:

         http://www.mindworkshop.com/upgrade.html 

     to upgrade.

     Registration keys bought for earlier versions of the RAW Digital
     Camera plugin are still valid for the version 5 release of the plugin.

     3. MOZ JPEG Plugin for Graphic Workshop Professional 5 Updated
     _______________________________________________________________________


     The MOZ JPEG plugin will allow Graphic Workshop to write the smallest 
     possible JPG files. It has been updated to address a memory management
     issue that could crash Graphic Workshop in some albeit fairly obscure
     situations.

     The functionality that drives the MOZ JPEG plugin was developed by 
     Mozilla, the creators of the exemplary Firefox web browser. It uses 
     sophisticated enhancements to conventional JPEG logic to create JPG 
     files that are typically about ten percent smaller than files written by 
     Graphic Workshop's internal JPG processor, with no loss of image quality.

     This plugin is available at no cost for users of Graphic Workshop 
     Professional 5. See the discussion of JPG files in the Formats 
     document of the Graphic Workshop manual for more about the MOZ JPEG 
     processor.

     We urge all current users of the MOZ JPEG plugin to install this update.

 
     Please see:

         http://www.mindworkshop.com/gwsplugins.html#MOZ

     to download this plugin.

       GIF Construction Set from correctly setting the keyboard focus in
