     1. e-Paint 8 Revision 2
     _______________________________________________________________________


     e-Paint 8 has been updated. This release:


     - Adds cursor tips to the Eyedropper and Flood Fill tools to display 
       the numeric color value of the pixel under your cursor. This feature
       can be disabled in Setup if you aren't into numbers.


     - Fixes a memory leak in the Convert To logic.


     - Addresses a bug that could cause e-Paint's document windows to flash 
       when they were resized under some builds of Windows.


     - Fixes a Windows issue that could cause e-Paint's document windows to 
       appear disabled when some of the drawing tools were selected.


     - Updates the Channels filter.


     - Addresses several issues with the e-Paint Scrapbook.


     - Improves the solid color selection buttons throughout the application 
       with a quick palette selection window - just hold down the Shift key 
       on your keyboard when you click to select a color to see it. There's 
       a complete discussion of this window and how it interacts with the 
       primary Colors window in the section of the Reference document that 
       deals with Color Selection.


     - Adds assistance buttons to the initial registration key windows. Click 
       on the question marks if you discover yourself to be lost.


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


     - Updates the documentation.

     2. Graphic Workshop Professional 8 Revision 4 (Second Notification)
     _______________________________________________________________________



     Graphic Workshop Professional 8 has been updated.

     This release:

 
     - Adds browser tab histories. This one is unspeakably cool.

       As you navigate between folders with Graphic Workshop's browsers, your
       most recent destinations will be collected in the right-click menu
       for each browser tab. 

       You can subsequently edit the list of destinations, and lock the list
       to prevent further changes if you like.

       The result of all this thaumaturgy and cunning is that you can quickly
       configure each browser tab to access multiple folders... rather than 
       keeping lots and lots of browser windows open.

       There's a complete discussion of how the browser history features
       work in the Reference document of Graphic Workshop's Manual, in the
       section entitled Browser Windows.

       We hasten to add that browser histories can be disabled if you'd 
       rather Graphic Workshop didn't keep a record of your travels.
 

     - Adds loadable browser tab sets. This one's unspeakably cool with its
       own frozen penguin.

       Graphic Workshop can save your current set of browsers - along with 
       all their configuration settings - and subsequently open them later.

       You can program Graphic Workshop with as many unique sets of open
       browsers as you like, changing between them with a few clicks.

       Unusually well organized users of the software can create multiple
       desktop shortcuts, each opening Graphic Workshop with a specified
       set of browser windows.

       There's also a complete discussion of how the loadable browser tabs
       work in the Reference document of Graphic Workshop's Manual, in the
       section entitled Browser Windows.


     - Vastly speeds up the Identify Mystery File function... as long as the
       mystery file in question turns out to be a JPEG, PNG or GIF graphic...
       by skipping ahead and checking for common file types first.


     - Adds an option to the File Time item of the browser right-click menu to
       quickly set the time and date of the file in question to the current
       system time without any interaction. Hold down the Ctrl key when you 
       select File Time to make this happen.


     - Fixes a bug in the drag and drop management that could cause thumbnails
       for dragged files to be rebuilt rather than copied under some 
       circumstances.


     - Updates the EXIF editor.


     - Adds assistance buttons to the initial registration key windows. Click 
       on the question marks if you discover yourself to be lost.


     - Updates the View mode Filters library.


     - Addresses some color selection issues in Presentation Wizard UltraLight
       and Montage Builder UltraLight.


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


     - Updates the documentation.
