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.

Graphic Workshop Professional 14 RAW
Digital Camera and Smartphone Plugin Revision 2

The RAW Digital Camera Plugin for Graphic Workshop Professional 10 has been updated to address numerous format variations, and to add support for dozens of new cameras.

It currently processes pictures from 1,182 popular digital cameras and phones, including iPhones and the Samsung Galaxy.

If you haven't encountered this technology before, most digital cameras that didn't arrive as a prize in a cereal box create JPEG images by default, but they can be configured to store raw sensor data. Correctly processed, pictures saved to RAW files look vastly better than JPEGs, as they suffer no image degradation.

The "correctly processed" part is this plugin. The RAW Digital Camera Plugin will let you view RAW image files exactly as your camera created them, and store them in a non-lossy format, such as PNG.

If you own a digital camera or a supported phone — or if you're just thinking about buying one — you and your immediate descendants will thank you for downloading this plugin. See the download link, below, for a complete list of the cameras the plugin supports.

You'll need to be running Graphic Workshop Professional 14 to install this plugin. If you're running an earlier version of Graphic Workshop, please click on the huge blue button below to upgrade to Graphic Workshop Professional 14 and access this amazing plugin.
