Graphic Workshop Professional 14 Revision 5

Graphic Workshop Professional 14 has been updated.

In this release:

• WebP Security: The Graphic Workshop WebP 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 Graphic Workshop to update to this release, 'coz the universe has a lot of really bad people in it.
  
  The current version of the WebP library is available in the About → Credits window. It's currently 1.3.0.
  
  
• Middle Mouse Button: The browser windows of Graphic Workshop now respond to middle-button mouse clicks with your choice of actions. They default to opening whatever you've middle-clicked on in View, just as if you'd double-clicked on a document. Middle-clicking is quicker. You can change the middle-click action in Graphic Workshop's Setup window. Select the Browser tab.
  
  The Graphic Workshop View window can now be configured to close if you click in it with the middle mouse button — see the Configure window in the View File menu. If you view lots of pictures from within Graphic Workshop, setting the middle mouse button up this way is shockingly fast.
  
  
• Wild Cards: The wild card selection window in Graphic Workshop's browsers, as accessed by holding down Shift when you click on the blue Select All button, will now scroll to the first selected document by default. You can disable this behavior if you like.
  
  
• Archive Manager: A number of issues in the stand-alone Archive Manager application have been addressed, and its wild card selection window also now scrolls to the first selected document.
  
  
• Animate Transitions: A number of metrics have been improved in Graphic Workshop's Animate Transitions window. If you haven't tried this feature as yet, you can find it in the Image → Animate Objects menu. Build dynamic animations and videos from your photographs, ready to startle your web pages and enliven social media.
  
  
• Paint: Nails a bug that disabled Graphic Workshop's Paint function under some configurations of Windows.

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.
