     Some days it feels like the world's politicians have been secretly
     replaced by sleeper agents of the former Soviet Union.

     (Really, really dumb ones...)

     1. e-Paint 6 Revision 5
     _______________________________________________________________________


     e-Paint 6 has been updated. This release:


     - Adds a Favorites window. Pin your frequently-used pictures to 
       Favorites, and thereafter access your best graphics with a few
       clicks. See the discussion of Favorites in the Reference document
       of the manual for the whole tale.


     - Nails a bug that prevented the toolbar buttons from displaying tool
       tips under some builds of Windows.


     - Addresses several potential problems in the Filter interface that
       could have crashed e-Paint if the universe was in a mood.


     - Fixes a problem with the Text tool that saw it becoming confused if
       it was confronted with badly-formed third-party TrueType fonts... the
       kind you download from higher-order dimensions of space-time.


     - Addresses a potential memory leak in the Undo function.


     - Improves the performance of the rendering engine - this pretty much
       never stops.


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


     - Updates the documentation.


     You can download e-Paint 6 from:

     2. RAW Digital Camera Plugin Revision 4 for Graphic Workshop 
        Professional 6 
     _______________________________________________________________________


     The RAW plugin for Graphic Workshop Professional has been updated to 
     improve its image handling and processing functions, and add support
     for the latest generation of high-end digital cameras. It now supports
     over 600 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 6 to install this 
     plugin.

     If you're running Graphic Workshop 5, you can still upgrade to the
     current Graphic Workshop Professional 6 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 6 release of the plugin.

     3. Windows 10 (Additional Notification)
     _______________________________________________________________________


     Alchemy Mindworks applications earlier than version 6.0 don't run under
     Windows 10. 

     Depending on the specific software in question and your operating 
     system configuration, all sorts of really unfortunate things would 
     happen in this environment.

     The current version 6.0 Alchemy Mindworks applications have been 
     rewritten and thoroughly tested to get along with Windows 10.

     We'd like to take this opportunity to urge all the users of earlier
     versions of our software to consider upgrading to version 6.0. You'll
     enjoy:


     - Ongoing enhancements and new functionality.

     - Bug fixes and security upgrades.

     - No nasty surprises at such time as you install Windows 10.


     NOTE: While the half-price upgrade path from the now somewhat ancient
     version 4.0 software has officially ended, we have extended the 4.0
     half-price window for the immediate future. 

     If you update your 4.0 Alchemy Mindworks products, just ignore the 
     message at our update e-commerce page about the updates only being 
     available for version 5.

     Please see http://www.mindworkshop.com/upgrade.html to upgrade.
