Graphic Workshop Professional 12 Revision 8





Graphic Workshop Professional 12 has been updated.

In this release:

  • WebP: Graphic Workshop's WebP library has been updated to the latest release to address several potential security and image quality issues.

    The updated WebP library also applies to Graphic Workshop's ancillary applications.

    WebP has become the de facto replacement for the aging JPEG document format in some quarters — we urge all users of Graphic Workshop to update to this release as quickly as possible.

  • Prompt to Overwrite: The file overwrite prompt window has been updated with an option to apply your selected options to all the file conflicts in the rest of a batch.

  • e-Paint UltraLight: The e-Paint UltraLight irregular selection tool — or the Lasso tool in some longitudes — exhibited a behavior inconsistency under some configurations of Windows that caused it to select the entire image after a filter had been applied. This has been fixed.

  • Presentation Wizard UltraLight:. Presentation Wizard UltraLight's Text objects now have access to a larger palette of standard Windows fonts. See the discussion of Presentation Wizard's use of fonts in the Graphic Workshop's Accessories section of the manual for more about them.

  • Icon Editor: Several cosmetic and user-interface issues have been addressed in Graphic Workshop's icon editor.

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 Screen Saver Construction Set 12



Screen Saver Construction Set 12 has been released.

We've added new functionality to Screen Saver Construction Set, 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 Screen Saver Construction Set 12, you'll find...

  • Quick 64-bit Architecture: Screen Saver Construction Set 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 Screen Saver Construction Set 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. Screen Saver Construction Set 12 rocks under Windows 11.

  • Run Time: Screen Saver Construction Set's runtime software has been updated to make it quicker and address some issues.

  • JPEG Security: Screen Saver Construction Set's Turbo JPEG library has been updated to the latest release to address some security issues.
    We'd like to urge all users of Screen Saver Construction Set 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.
