Graphic Workshop Professional 10 Revision 7

Graphic Workshop Professional 11 has been updated. In this release:

• Alpha Conversion: A bug that prevented Graphic Workshop from converting or otherwise processing graphics with alpha transparency under some configurations of Windows has been nailed.
  
  
• Code Review: We've completed a line-by-line review of the underlying source code of Graphic Workshop. This has resulted in a smaller, faster application... and we dispatched a number of stealthy bugs, memory leaks and security issues.
  
  We'd like to urge all users of Graphic Workshop to update to this release as quickly as possible,
  
  
• User Interface: The user interface windows of Graphic Workshop have been enhanced. A number of features of the application are more intuitive and easier to understand. Everything looks tight and leading-edge.
  
  Most of the windows that include thumbnails or preview images have been updated to use better imaging logic, making these small graphics more attractive and easier to resolve.
  
  
• Get Info: The Get Info window has seen a number of minor issues addressed, including a few numerical errors that crept in for some albeit obscure graphic format variations. Its preview image now handles alpha channel graphics correctly.
  
  
• Edit Comments: An issue with the font selector in the Edit Comments window has been resolved.
  
  
• Performance: Addresses a number of GDI and performance issues that software developers never really stop meddling with.
       
• Documentation: Updates the documentation.

If you haven't experienced Graphic Workshop Professional 11 as yet, please see its initial release announcement for a list of all its new and enhanced functionality.
