Graphic Workshop
Professional 14 Revision 6
|
Graphic Workshop Professional 14 has
been updated.
In this release:
- JPEG
Security: The Graphic Workshop JPEG 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 JPEG library is available in
the About → Credits window. It's currently 2.1.5.1.
- Multiple
Selection: The multiple image selection window in
Graphic Workshop —
which gets involved with animations, videos and
multiple-image graphic documents — has had a
number of issues addressed. Its selected image
resolution display is now working correctly under
all configurations of Windows, and it always updates
its preview image correctly, among
others.
- Delete:
The file deletion functions of Graphic Workshop have
been updated. You can configure the prompt window to
appear or not, as you wish. The progress window won't
pop up for single document deletions — it had become so
quick as to be pretty much unreadable previously.
Graphic Workshop will play an audible confirmation sound
when it deletes single files.
- Undo
Delete: Graphic Workshop now has an Undo Delete
function.
If you delete one or more documents from within a
Graphic Workshop browser window to the Windows recycle
bin and then think better of their disappearance, select
Undo Delete from the Edit menu, or hit Ctrl-Z. Be sure
to read the section of the Reference document that deals
with file deletion to get this feature fully surrounded.
Undo Delete is only available in the 64-bit edition of
Graphic Workshop.
- ICO
Thumbnails: The logic that selects images from
Windows ICO files to create Graphic Workshop's
thumbnails has been improved to generate more
attractive, readable ones.
- WebP:
Nails a bug that caused eight-bit animations and videos
converted to WebP to turn red under some configurations
of Windows.
- AVI:
Addresses an issue that prevented some animation formats
from being converted to AVI video.

- Photoclock Style:
A numbr of cosmetic issues in the Photoclock style have
been addressed.
Add your photographs to the Photoclock style to create
inspired personalized clocks. Enjoy friends, family and
beloved pets with clock mechanisms installed in their
noses. We hasten to note that the example to your right,
shown here at a somewhat diminished resolution, hardly
does justice to the Photoclock — you can double-click on
it to see a life-size animated clock. Also, if your
beloved pet looks anything like the example here, you
might need some new friends and family the next time you
forget to feed it.
- Performance:
Addresses a number of GDI and performance issues
that software developers never really stop meddling
with.
- Documentation:
Updates the documentation.

has become substantially quicker.

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.

An issue that caused pretty weird cosmetic issues when
the multiple object selection mode of the page editor
was employed has been stomped. It won't make that
mistake again any time soon.

that software developers never really stop meddling
