the foregoing link. We recommend that everyone who previously installed Graphic Workshop Professional 11 update to the new release.
From the
initial announcement: Graphic
Workshop Professional 11 has been released. We've added
new functionality to the known universe's most popular
image management application, improved its
performance, included several fresh ancillary
applications and generally refined it to better get
along with Windows 10. (We hasten to add that it still
performs admirably under earlier builds of Windows,
all the way back to Windows XP, if you're feeling
retro.) Among the new features and enhancements to Graphic Workshop Professional 11, you'll find that it:
The Graphic Workshop Printed Reference has been revised for the version 11 software, and it includes sections for all the new functionality. It's available through Amazon —there's a link to it at the Graphic Workshop web page, and you can access it through the Get The Graphic Workshop Printed Reference item of Graphic Workshop's Help menu. Alternately, just click on the book to your right.
All the Graphic Workshop plugins have been upgraded to install in the version 11 software. Note that if you're currently using an earlier version of Graphic Workshop and its attendant plugins:
If you're using a registered installation of the Graphic Workshop RAW Digital Camera and Smartphone plugin for an earlier release of Graphic Workshop, note that your existing registration key will work with the version 11 plugin — you won't have to buy it again.

Windows Speedup:
|
|||
The Windows Defender security application that installs with Windows 10 is a redoubtable defense against the bottom feeders, script kiddies and brain donors of the Internet. This said, it can prove to be somewhat overprotective.The Real Time Protection feature of Defender scans every file that gets anywhere near your computer, in real time, to make sure that none of them includes anything unexpected. While a laudable feature, it soaks up a lot of processor time and system resources in doing so. Unless you sprang for a really fast computer with enough memory to fully occupy a modest suburban livingroom, having Defender’s real time protection running will slow your system down… probably quite a lot. The past summer, Real Time Protection appears to have mutated. Windows would no longer allow it to be disabled through its Settings panel. Windows and everything running under it dropped into neutral. We've found a way around this issue — if you trust yourself not to click on mysterious e-mail attachments or download software from peculiar web sites with a lot of spelling errors, you might want to look at restoring your system's performance Click on the big blue button to see how this works. |
