        PNG MNG Construction Set 9 Revision 5


    PNG MNG Construction Set 9 has been updated. This release:


      * Updates the *WebP* functionality to address a few performance
        issues, and to nail several initial bugs.

      * Enhances *Animation Wizard* to improve its color management.
        It's a ceaseless quest.

      * Adds more intuitive *mouse wheel support *to several of the
        windows in PNG MNG Construction Set that include lists. Just
        roll the wheel to scroll the list in question, even if your
        mouse pointer isn't anywhere near it.

        Windows Explorer or File Explorer *Open With* window for PNG,
        MNG and WebP files.

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

      * Updates the documentation.

        The Ultimate Screen Clock 9 Revision 4(additional notification)


    The Ultimate Screen Clock 9 has been updated. This release:


      * Adds the *Filaments *style, examples of which are illustrated here.

        The Filaments style evokes the eldritch forces and cosmic scope
        of... actually, we have no idea what it evokes, but it looks
        really cool.

        The reduced still images of Filaments to your left don't really
        do the actual clocks justice. You need to see this one live and
        on your desktop.

        Filaments comes in six colors and two sizes. The Large size is epic.

        Note that you'll need to download and install the extra styles
        library for The Ultimate Screen Clock to access all the Filament
        style options.

      * Adds more intuitive mouse wheel support to most of the windows
        in The Ultimate Screen Clock that include lists. Just roll the
        wheel to scroll the list in question, even if your mouse pointer
        isn't anywhere near it. This makes the style selection windows
        get up and dance.

      * Fixes a few cosmetic bugs in the validation window.

      * Adds *WebP* support for those functions in The Ultimate Screen
        Clock that export pictures.

        There's an extensive discussion of WebP at our blog
        <http://blog.mindworkshop.com/animation/a-quick-introduction-to-webp-graphics-and-animations/>.

      * Adds some new screen saver background graphics. Right-click in
        The Ultimate Screen Clock, select Styles → Select Saver Style
        and click on Transitions. The new graphics include Stellar
        Nursery, Magma, Quantum Foam and Cymbal. Enable the ones you
        like the look of.

      * Updates the screen saver logic.

      * Improves the *clock rendering engine*.

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

      * Updates the *documentation*.

        Graphic Workshop Professional 9 Revision 15 ***(additional
        notification)***


    Graphic Workshop Professional 9 has been updated. This release:

      * Adds progress bars to the *GIF and WebP animation windows* to
        assist you in following the action as an animation plays.

      * Adds a *Crop* option to the File menu of the Graphic Workshop
        *View *window. Crop your images directly from within View,
        rather than saving them to temporary files are bouncing them
        around the Windows clipboard.

      * Adds a *Film Grain filter* to the View mode Filters window, to
        make your start-of-the-art digital photographs look retro,
        vintage or sufficiently convincing to fool people into believing
        you haven't aged over the past forty years. If you're too young
        to know what film grain is, there's an explanation in the
        Reference section of the Graphic Workshop Manual. (We couldn't
        make something like this up...)

      * Adds a handler for *JFIF* files. It has come our attention that
        in some contexts, JPG files can appear with the file extension
        .JFIF. Graphic Workshop now interprets these as conventional JPG
        documents.

      * The Get Info window for *WebP documents* will now tell you
        whether they contain still images or animations. Look for the
        word Animation in the Comments field for the latter.

      * Fixes a bug in the *Graphic Workshop Window menu*'s application
        list which previously could prevent Alpha Paint from opening
        correctly when it was called from within Graphic Workshop, under
        some builds of Windows.

      * Addresses a number of issues in the*file association* links
        introduced in the previous update. When you right-click on a
        file that Graphic Workshop or one of its ancillary applications
        knows how to open and select Open With, the appropriate software
        will appear in in Windows Open With menu and Open With window.

      * Fixes a problem with the Graphic Workshop*Crop window* that
        could cause it to momentarily display any application or desktop
        elements appearing under Graphic Workshop when it closes.

      * Updates the documentation.

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