Graphic Workshop
Professional 15 Revision 8
|
Graphic Workshop Professional 15
has been updated.
In this release:
- PNG Security:
The Graphic Workshop PNG library has
been updated to the latest release, 1.6.43. We'd like to
take this opportunity to urge all users of Graphic Workshop to update to this
release.
- View Mode
Alpha: Graphic Workshop's View mode can now be
configured to display graphics with alpha transparency
either against the default View mode background or
against the color defined in the graphic files in
question.
See the Respect Document Alpha in View option in the
Display tab of Graphic Workshop's Setup window.
- Click to Close:
A number of windows around Graphic Workshop that can
be closed by clicking outside them — most notably the
video and animation View windows — have been updated
to address a problem that prevented them from being
dragged to anywhere other than the center of the
screen.
- Animated PNG
Writer: A bug in the animated PNG writer logic
that could cause animations with finite numbers of
loops to be written with infinite looping has been
demolished.
- WebP
Writer: A bug in the WebP writer logic that
could cause animations with finite numbers of
loops to be written with infinite looping has also
been demolished.
- Animated
Transitions: An issue that caused the Animated
Transitions window to handle end loops incorrectly
under some configurations of Windows has been
addressed.
- Presentation Wizard UltraLight: A bug in the page
editor that could see all the objects on a page
spontaneously disappear for no apparent reason under
some configurations of Windows has been dispatched. An
issue with the Presentation Wizard file save logic
that could corrupt the page object lists of documents
under some configurations of Windows... resulting in
some very weirdly misplaced objects thereafter... is
history.
- Camera
Screen Capture: A bug that created oddly-named
new folders in the navigation tree has been stomped.
- Performance:
Several more performance improvements have been
implemented throughout the application.
Click on the blue button to
download Graphic Workshop Professional 15.
If you haven't done so previously,
we recommend that you install the Alchemy
Mindworks trusted certificate and disable the Smart
Screen blue window of doom prior to downloading
Alchemy Mindworks software.
Upgrades
If you have registered or upgraded
a registration for Graphic Workshop 14, we invite you to
upgrade to Graphic Workshop Professional 15 for half
the current new-user price.

GIF Construction Set
Professional 15 Revision 3
|
GIF Construction Set Professional has
been updated.
In this release:
- JPEG: The GIF Construction Set JPEG library has
been updated to version 3.0.2 to address a security
issue. We'd like to take
this opportunity to urge all users of GIF Construction Set to update to this
release.
PNG
Security: The GIF Construction Set 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 GIF Construction Set to update to this
release.
The current version of the PNG library is now available
in the About → Credits window. It's currently 1.6.41.
- Registration
Key Window: To assist users of Alchemy
Mindworks' software who encounter issues with the
Registration Key window, it now includes helpful audio
prompts. It talks. You'll see a message to this effect
when you open it to update GIF Construction Set.
We hasten to add that if you don't find the spoken
prompts as cool as we did, you can disable them in the
initial prompt window, or in GIF Construction Set's Registration Key
window by clicking on Silence.
Disabling the spoken prompts in any Alchemy Mindworks
application will disable them for all our software,
for the rest of time... or until you explicitly turn
them back on by clicking on Sound in the Registration
Key window.
- Click to Close:
A number of windows around GIF Construction Set that
can be closed by clicking outside them — most notably the
View windows — have been updated
to address a problem that prevented them from being
dragged to anywhere other than the center of the
screen.
- Performance:
Addresses a number of GDI and performance issues
that software developers never really stop meddling
with.
- Documentation:
Updates the documentation.
Click on the blue button to download GIF Construction Set
Professional 15.
If you haven't done so previously, we
recommend that you install the Alchemy Mindworks trusted
certificate and disable the Smart Screen blue window of doom
