Graphic Workshop Professional 12 Revision 10





Graphic Workshop Professional 12 has been updated.

In this release:

  • JPEG Security: Graphic Workshop's Turbo JPEG and IJG JPEG libraries have been updated to the latest releases to address some security and image quality issues.

    We'd like to urge all users of Graphic Workshop to update to this release as quickly as possible.

    Keeping Graphic Workshop's JPEG readers up to date and secure being a substantial bulwark against the barbarian hoards, you can now check the TurboJPEG library's version in the Graphic Workshop Help → About → Credits window, right at the bottom of the scroll list. The current one is 2.1.3.

  • Move and Copy: The Graphic Workshop Move and Copy window has been updated to display a preview image — the graphic you right-clicked on or the first selected picture in a batch — and the number of selected documents for batch processes to confirm that you're actually moving or copying what you think you are. 

  • Caption: The Graphic Workshop Caption windows have been updated to address a number of user-interface issues.

  • Animation Workshop UltraLight: The Animation UltraLight application has been updated to nail a bug that prevented it from correctly respecting animation frames in the Animation object Preview window... under some configurations of Windows.

  • Camera: The Graphic Workshop Camera screen capture's Caption window has been updated to stomp a few bugs into digital oblivion.

  • e-Paint UltraLight: The Grid window in e-Paint UltraLight has been updated to display a preview that illustrates the current grid parameters.

  • Graphic Workshop Screen Saver: Addresses some cosmetic issues in the Graphic Workshop Screen Saver configuration window.

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.

Alpha Paint 12 Revision 3



Alpha Paint 12 has been updated.

In this release:

  • Eyedropper Tool: A bug that prevented the Eyedropper tool from referencing pixels in the first horizontal line of some graphics has been addressed.

  • Ctrl-A: Ctrl-A now correctly selects an entire graphic.

  • Spray Can Tool: The tool palette now displays a preview image for the Spray Can tool.

  • Transform: A bug that could cause Alpha Paint's alpha masks to display incorrectly after using one of the Transform functions has been stomped.

  • Resize: A bug that could crash Alpha Paint after invoking the Resize function under some configurations of Windows is history.

  • Drawing Domain: A Windows problem that caused a number of unpredictable behaviors when objects were drawn or dragged to the outermost column or row of pixels in a graphic under some configurations of Windows has been dealt with.

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

The Ultimate Screen Clock 12 Revision 3



The Ultimate Screen Clock 12 has been updated.

In this release:

  • Select Clock Style: An issue has turned up in the Select Clock Style window in which scrolling past the Font clock item could destabilize or crash The Ultimate Screen Clock under some configurations of Windows. It has been dispatched to an alternate universe.

From the previous release:

  • JPEG Security: The Ultimate Screen Clock's Turbo JPEG library has been updated to the latest releases to address some security and image quality issues.

    We'd like to urge all users of The Ultimate Screen Clock to update to this release as quickly as possible.

    Keeping The Ultimate Screen Clock's JPEG readers up to date and secure being a substantial bulwark against the barbarian hoards, you can now check the TurboJPEG library's version in The Ultimate Screen Clock right-click → About → Credits window, right at the bottom of the scroll list. The current one is 2.1.3.

  • Netherworld: This release of The Ultimate Screen Clock includes the digital and analog Netherworld clock styles, which are seriously dark and goth and infernal and the stuff of legend. They come in multiple sizes and colors — the digital Netherworld styles are available with and without a bezel and with an optional spooky digital dissolve.

    The example above arguably fails to do it justice — click on it for a larger clock. We should also point out that this graphic is an animation, not actual software. It's decidedly unlikely that it's displaying the correct time.

    We hasten to add that most of the variations for the Netherworld style are available in the extra styles library for The Ultimate Screen Clock. Be sure to download and install it for the total Netherworld experience.

  • Select Clock Style: The Select Clock Style windows in The Ultimate Screen Clock have been updated to make them shockingly quick.

  • Small Analog Styles: A bug that caused a number of the smaller analog clock styles to be displayed with damaged graphics has been ruthlessly stomped.

  • Rendering Engine: The clock rendering engine has been updated to improve the appearance of outlined straight hands.

e-Paint 12 Revision 3



e-Paint 12 has been updated.

In this release:

  • JPEG Security: e-Paint's Turbo JPEG library has been updated to the latest releases to address some security and image quality issues.

    We'd like to urge all users of e-Paint to update to this release as quickly as possible.

    Keeping e-Paint's JPEG readers up to date and secure being a substantial bulwark against the barbarian hoards, you can now check the TurboJPEG library's version in the e-Paint Help → About → Credits window, right at the bottom of the scroll list. The current one is 2.1.3.

  • PNG: The PNG library has been updated to address an issue that could cause it to incorrectly read interlaced PNG graphics under some configurations of Windows.

  • Favorites: A number of issues with e-Paint's Favorites window have been nailed.

  • Grid: The Grid window now includes an actual-size example of your current grid setting, so you can see what it will really look like.
