Graphic Workshop
Professional 14 Revision 4
|
Graphic Workshop Professional 14 has
been updated.
In this release:
- PNG
Security: The Graphic Workshop PNG library has —
once again —
been updated to the latest release to address several
potential security and performance issues. We'd like to
take this opportunity to urge all users of Graphic
Workshop to update to this release, 'coz the universe
has a lot of really bad people in it.
The current version of the PNG library is available in
the About → Credits window. It's currently 1.6.39.
- AVI:
Video with sound written to AVI documents now manages
its sound size more accurately, to ensure that the
picture and the sound end at the same time, even for
really long videos.
- Talkies:
Graphic Workshop will now extract the sound from videos
— just
convert from a video format to a sound format, such as
WAV or MP3.
- MOV: An
issue with Graphic Workshop's MOV reader which prevented
it from correctly opening MOV video under some
configurations of Windows has been addressed.
- Delete: The
Graphic Workshop Delete prompt window has become more
prescient about the sizes of the objects it's asked to
delete, such that it can display canned thumbnails when
showing previews of the source images in question would
have proven too time-consuming.
- Impact: The
shockingly cool Impact filter in Graphic Workshop's View
mode Filters window didn't always turn up when it was
summoned in previous releases. Now it does.
- File
Extensions: An issue with Graphic Workshop's file
extension logic that saw it unable to reliably
distinguish between extensions with similar names has
been nailed.

Announcing Presentation
Wizard 14
|
Presentation Wizard 14 has been released.
We've added new functionality to Presentation
Wizard, 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
Presentation Wizard 14, you'll find...
- PNG
Security: The Presentation Wizard PNG library has
been updated to the latest release to address several
potential security and performance issues. We'd like to
take this opportunity to urge all users of Presentation
Wizard to update to this release, 'coz the
universe has a lot of really bad people in it.
The current version of the PNG library is now available
in the About → Credits window. It's currently 1.6.39.
- JPEG
Security: Presentation Wizard's Turbo JPEG
library has been updated to the latest release to
address some security issues.
We'd like to urge all users of Presentation Wizard to
update to this release as quickly as possible.
- WebP: The
WebP library has been updated to improve its
performance.
- Speed:
The low-level pixel logic for Presentation
Wizard has been re-written in optimized machine
language. Since much of what Presentation
Wizard does involves managing pixels, it has
become substantially quicker.
- Colors:
The color selection window that appears whenever
Presentation Wizard
prompts you to select a color has been enhanced with
an expanded palette of more contemporary colors —
scroll to the bottom of the list to see them. In
addition, you can now re-arrange the color list by
dragging and dropping its items.
- Welcome
Wizard: A number of problems that appeared on
occasion in Presentation
Wizard's
Welcome Wizard have been nailed, and the wizard will now
prompt you before it begins invoking its magic.
- System
Information: Under some configurations of
Windows, Presentation Wizard's System Information
window would omit your motherboard BIOS serial number.
It's back.
- Drawing
Engine: A number of metrics and details have been
improved in the Presentation drawing engines for
Presentation Wizard.
- Performance:
Addresses a number of GDI and performance issues
that software developers never really stop meddling
with.
- Documentation:
Updates the documentation.
