Graphic Workshop Professional 14 Revision 7




Graphic Workshop Professional 14 has been updated.

In this release:

  • Filter Menu: The font size for the menu that selects filters in the Graphic Workshop View mode Filters window is now adjustable. Click on the three bars in the lower right corner of the window, and select Filter Menu Font Size. Users with better eyesight can select a smaller font to see more menu items without the need to scroll around the menu. (Larger font sizes are available for the rest of us.)

    See the discussion of the Filter menu in the View and Filters section of the Graphic Workshop Manual's Reference document .

  • Filter Preview: The Filters window includes "before" and "after" images for the graphics it processes. Of necessity, they're a bit small. You can now see full-screen previews of what they contain by middle-clicking on them — clicking with your mouse wheel in most cases. Users with laptop touch panels or really economical mice can hold down Shift and left-click.

    Click anywhere to close one of the resulting preview windows.


    If you open a preview window for the post-processing preview, the Filter window will apply any recent changes to its controls, the equivalent of clicking on the Preview button.

  • ICO Writer: The file writer for Graphic Workshop's ICO logic — Windows icons — has been updated to create contemporary Windows icons files, no matter what your source graphics are. It also manages image sizing and area selection more intuitively.

    See the discussion of ICO file sin the Formats section of Graphic Workshop's manual.

  • Setup: Graphic Workshop's Setup window has been restructured so all the fields that pertain to JPG, PNG and WebP have their own tab... these being the most common graphic formats for most Graphic Workshop users.

    Setup is somewhat easier to navigate now.

  • Overrides: The Override windows for those formats that have adjustable parameters — the aforementioned ICO, JPG, PNG and WebP among them — now have Help buttons that link to the specific discussions of the formats in question, rather than to the section of the manual that discusses overrides.

  • GIF Construction Set UltraLight: The GIF Construction Set Animation Wizard has been updated to address a number of issues. It now creates somewhat smaller animations with some source content.
