Announcing Font Wrangler 11
|
Font Wrangler
11 has
been released. Among its new and enhanced features are:
- Web
Page Creator: Create instant web pages to
download your fonts even if you'd rather walk
barefoot across the surface of the sun than code in
HTML. Create attention and traffic for your web site
with a few clicks.
- WebP: Updates
the library that writes WebP documents for Font
Wrangler to address several potential security
issues. It also improves the image quality of WebP
graphics.
- JPG
Security: Updates the library that writes
JPG documents for Font Wrangler to address several
potential security issues.
- Image
Libraries: All the libraries that write
graphics for Font Wrangler have been reviewed to
ensure that they're secure and totally
bulletproof. There being some really disagreeable
people under many of the rocks of the Internet, we
urge all the users of our software to keep its
security elements up to date.
- ZIP
Support: Addresses a number of issues with
Font Wrangler's internal ZIP archive support.
Among other things, it now remembers open ZIP
folders between sessions correctly.
- Right-Click
Menu: The right-click menus in the file
panes of Font Wrangler now handle their various
functions more consistently.
- Edge
Support: Font Wrangler
will now find the Microsoft Edge web browser to
display its documentation.

performance issues that software developers never
really stop meddling with.

Updates the documentation.

Graphic Workshop Professional —
A Further 10 Cool Features
(additional notification)
|
Graphic
Workshop Professional 11 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.
- Social Media: Quickly format
your pictures for posting to Facebook, Twitter and
other popular social media platforms. The Social
Media window offers a rich palette of effects and
options — a tiny sample of which can be seen to your
right — and the option to save your favorite effects
for future use.
- Windows
Thumbnails: Select the Zoomed Thumbnails View
mode in a Graphic Workshop browser's right-click
menu, and then select Zoomed Windows Thumbnails from
its Thumbnail sub-menu. You'll see quick,
high-resolution thumbnails drawn from Windows'
internal image cache. Enable one of the Pre-cache
options to improve your browser window's
performance.
- Favorites:
Right-click on a graphic in a Graphic Workshop
browser window and select Pin to Favorites to add
your selected picture to your current Favorites
list. Open Favorites from Graphic Workshop's File
menu to access a gallery of your pinned images.
- Web Check: Run
Graphic Workshop's Web Check ancillary application
against your web site to quickly locate broken
links, missing graphics and other
difficult-to-spot errors that visitors to your
pages will unquestionably notice almost
immediately .
- Identify
Mystery Files: Double-click on any graphic
in a Graphic Workshop browser — if
it's stored in a format other than what its
file extension claims, Graphic Workshop will
determine its true nature and offer you the
opportunity to automatically rename it.
- Secure
Delete: If you disable the Recycle Bin
option in Graphic Workshop's file deletion prompt
and enable Secure Delete, the files you consign to
oblivion will be overwritten multiple times with
randomized data, making them impossible to
recover... even for a prematurely-bald
fourteen-year-old hacker with a backward baseball
cap and sixteen fingers.
- Animation
Workshop UltraLight: Create professional
banners, advertisements and other on-line
animations from multiple objects with a few clicks
with this simplified edition of our
shockingly-sophisticated professional animation
manager. Animation Workshop UltraLight is included
with Graphic Workshop Professional 11.
- Edit
EXIF: Right-click on any JPG or PNG graphic
in a Graphic Workshop browser window to edit its
EXIF metadata... or to add EXIF blocks if they're
not present. Review and fine-tune the hidden
information for your pictures and, perhaps more
importantly, remove location data from the
pictures you upload and share to prevent the
world's bottom feeders from knowing where you live
and where all your stuff is.
- Print
Posters: Select the Print Posters option
from the Image menu of Graphic Workshop to have
your pictures tiled over multiple sheets of paper.
Follow the instructions for cutting them out and
sticking the tiles together to create perfect,
seriously huge hard copy that can be seen from
across the street or... if you have lots of
toner... low Earth orbit.
- Screen
Capture Captions: Enable the Caption option
in the GWS Camera screen capture application to
add captions to the captures you create. Screen
capture captions can be generated automatically
using GWS Camera's lucid macro language, or you
can be prompted for them.
