Graphic Workshop Professional 11 —
Coming Soon
|
We're pleased to announce
the impending arrival of the latest major upgrade for
Graphic Workshop Workshop Professional.
Replete with new functionality, enhanced features and
other technologies to warp space, enhance time and
prevent genetically-modified frogs... okay, we're not
entirely sure about that last one... this is the state
of the art in image management software.
Users
of Graphic Workshop Professional 10 who registered or
upgraded on or after May 1, 2020 will be welcome to a
no-cost upgrade to the version 11 software.
Users of Graphic Workshop Professional 10 who
registered or updated prior to May 1, 2020 can upgrade
to Graphic Workshop Professional 11 for half the usual
single-user license price — a mere $24.99.
If you're currently using Graphic Workshop
Professional 9 and you upgrade to Graphic Workshop
Professional 10 now, you'll also enjoy a no-cost
upgrade to version 11 when it hits the streets. Please
note that the reduced-price upgrade path from Graphic
Workshop 9 will end when version 11 happens.
Please click on the huge blue button, below, to
upgrade.

Pagan Daybook 10 Revision 3
(second notification)
|
Pagan Daybook 10 has been updated. Among its new and
enhanced features are:
- JPEG Library:
The library that reads and writes JPEG documents —
or .JPG files — has been updated to the latest
release. This addresses a potential stability and
security issue, and it improves the already
light-speed JPEG management in Pagan Daybook.
- The
high-speed JPEG reader improves the performance of
Pagan Daybook's screen saver, among other things.
We
urge all users of Pagan Daybook to update to the
current release and nail these vulnerabilities
before they nail you.
- Observance
Database: Updates the observance database,
addresses a few typos. The gods favor decent
spelling... probably.
- 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 Pagan Daybook 10.
Upgrades
If you have
registered or upgraded a registration for Pagan Daybook
9, we invite you to upgrade to Pagan Daybook
10 for half the single-user license price.

Screen Saver Construction 10
Revision 3
(additional notification)
|
Screen Saver
Construction Set 10 has been updated. Among its new and
enhanced features are:
- JPEG Library:
The library that reads and writes JPEG documents —
or .JPG files — has been updated to the latest
release. This addresses a potential stability and
security issue, and it improves the already
light-speed JPEG management in Screen Saver
Construction Set
We
urge all users of Screen Saver Construction Set to
update to the current release and nail these
vulnerabilities before they nail you.
- Legacy
Windows Support: A fairly ruthless review of
the Screen Saver Construction Set document runtime
has identified a number of legacy Windows issues —
support for features of Windows that are
deprecated, or no longer exist.
Dispatching this functionality to the
furthest reaches of time has made the
runtime, and hence all Screen Saver
Construction Set documents, quicker and
less demanding of memory and system
resources.
- Page
Editor: Several user-interface
issues in the page editor have been
addressed.
- 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 Screen Saver
Construction Set 10.
Upgrades
If you have
registered or upgraded a registration for Screen Saver
Construction Set 9, we invite you to upgrade to Screen
Saver Construction Set 10 for half the
single-user license price.

Graphic Workshop Professional -
10 More Cool Features
(second notification)
|
Graphic Workshop
Professional 10 is rich with functionality... some of
which you might not know it has. Here are ten
leading-edge features you can access in Graphic
Workshop.
- Crop
Window: Crop your pictures with breathtaking
ease in the Graphic Workshop Crop window. If you
need to crop graphics with numerical precision,
select Properties from the Crop window's File menu.
Finally, you can configure the crop settings for one
graphic and subsequently apply them to an entire
batch. Crop can also be accessed directly through
the View window.
- Print Dodecahedron: Transform
your twelve favorite photographs into a
three-dimensional desk toy. The Print Dodecahedron
window will calculate all the angles and fold lines
required to print a flawless twelve-sided figure.
Some arts and crafts to cut it out and fold it will
be required.
- Adjust:
Quickly refine your pictures with the Adjust window,
accessible through the Graphic Workshop browser
right-click menu. Intuitive, interactive and
immediate, Adjust will quickly repair the ravages of
poor lighting, insufficient contrast and
questionable automatic exposure. It has a learning
curve best measured with a microscope.
- Matt and Frame:
Add flawless frames around your pictures. With
access to the Graphic Workshop Textures and
Fractals functionality to create its materials,
the Matt and Frame window can do things to
rectangles that were the stuff of myth and legend
in ages past.
- Montage:
The Montage application that's included with
Graphic Workshop Professional will import as
many pictures as you like and provide you with a
virtual cork board on which to place them. Add
frames and captions with a few clicks, and
export your completed montage to a graphic for
subsequent distribution. Try to avoid building
all your cat pictures into a single page.
- Hexagon Filter: Turn
any photograph into a flawless mosaic of six-sided
tiles. If you're not seriously into bee-keeping,
they can be reminiscent of late twentieth-century
kitchen decor.
The example here hardly does justice to the art
form — click on it for a more representative view.
Select the Hexagon option from Graphic Workshop's
View mode Filters window to hex your own pictures.
- WebP:
Your web pages, social media posts and e-mailed
photographs to your family in Arizona can be both
smaller and way better looking if you store them
as WebP documents, rather than JPEGs. Graphic
Workshop features full WebP support, as does the
e-Paint UltraLight application that installs with
it. WebP is supported by all the current web
browsers.
- Fast
JPEG: Graphic Workshop has the quickest JPEG
reader in the known universe... most JPG graphics
will have opened before the echoes of your mouse
clicking have entirely faded away. Be sure to
select the LibJpeg Turbo option in the JPEG
Processor field of Graphic Workshop's Setup
window.
- e-Paint
UltraLight: Graphic Workshop includes a
light, easy-to-master edition of our justifiably
renowned e-Paint application. Retouch your
photographs, draw animation cells or install the
heads of unpopular politicians on the bodies of
aliens and start your own tabloid newspaper.
- Application
Reset Blocker: One of the more annoying
behaviors of Windows 10 is its propensity for
reverting the non-Microsoft applications you've
associated with specific file types to
sort-of-comparable apps that were installed with
Windows. It does so from time to time for no
apparent reason... and then it displays a
seemingly endless sequence of notification windows
like the one above to make sure you're aware that
it was displeased with your previous choice of
software. The Application Reset Blocker that
installs with Graphic Workshop will disabuse it of
this behavior.
