Graphic Workshop Professional 12
Revision 6
|
Graphic Workshop
Professional 12 has been updated.
In this release:
- Effects:
Several issues with the Graphic Workshop Effect
window as it applies to animations have been
addressed. It hitherto could produce mangled GIF
documents under some configurations of Windows.
- Save
As: Graphic Workshop's Save As window — as
summoned by View, among others — now references the
default file extension field in Setup. If you enter
a file name with no extension, it will append the
default extension to create a legal file name. Note
that if you set File Extension Case in Setup to
Lower Case, the file extensions added by Save As
will all be in lower case.
- Animation
Workshop UltraLight: Graphic Workshop's
ancillary application Animation Workshop UltraLight
has been updated to address some issues with its
frame modes, most notably one that caused it to
display spurious frames in animations with Image
objects having negative offset values. Several
cosmetic issues associated with the Respect Frame
option have also been nailed.
- Caption:
Graphic Workshop's default Caption window has been
updated such that its typographic controls — font,
font size, text color and so on — will apply to the
entire text field if no text has been selected.
We've heard from a number of users of Caption who
suspected it was broken, as it appears to do noting
if no selection is available.
- Crop: The
Graphic Workshop crop window has been updated to
address several issues. A cosmetic bug in the
Properties window that could leave spurious
selection lines near the example image has been
stomped. A rounding error that caused dimensions set
by Properties to be off by one pixel under some
configurations of Windows is no more.
- EXIF: The
Turbo JPEG processor will now create JPEG files with
EXIF metadata intact if you enable Preserve EXIF
Blocks in Setup and convert or process source
graphics having EXIF data.
- Print
3D: The Print Dodecahedron and Print Cube
windows now include fields to set the printed
characteristics of dashed lines. It has come to our
attention that some Windows output devices — most
notably the Microsoft Print to PDF printer option —
can render dashed lines with tiny spaces between the
dashes in question, so the lines look more or less
solid. If you're confronted by such a device, set
the Dashed Pen Mode in one of the foregoing windows
to a non-zero value — five or six works well in most
cases.
If you haven't experienced Graphic
Workshop Professional 12 as yet, please see its initial release announcement
for a list of all its new and enhanced functionality.

Announcing Pagan Daybook 12
|
Pagan Daybook 12 has been released.
We've added new functionality to
Pagan Daybook, improved its performance and generally
refined it to better get along with Windows 10 and 11.
(We hasten to add that it still performs admirably
under earlier builds of Windows, all the way back to
Windows XP, if you're feeling retro.)
Among the new features and
enhancements to Pagan
Daybook 12, you'll find...
- Quick
64-bit Architecture: Pagan Daybook is now
available in both traditional 32-bit and
leading-edge 64-bit editions. The 64-bit software is
fast, gets along more favorably with Windows and
pretty much never runs into memory issues. We hasten
to note that registering or updating to Pagan
Daybook 12 will avail you of a registration key that
works with either edition... or both, if you're
feeling adventurous.
- Windows
11 Compatible: The version 11 software has
been showing some decidedly rough edges under
Windows 11, and may stop installing and/or running
therein. Pagan Daybook 12 rocks under Windows 11.
- Observance
Database: Pagan Daybook's oracle of festivals,
observances and holidays has been refined and
updated.
- JPEG
Security: Pagan Daybook's Turbo JPEG library
has been updated to the latest release to address
some security issues.
We'd like to urge all users of Pagan Daybook to
update to this release as quickly as possible.
- Performance:
Addresses a number of GDI and performance issues
that software developers never really stop meddling
with.
- Documentation:
Updates the documentation.
