Graphic Workshop Professional is the image management package for Windows 95, 98, 2000, ME, XP and NT. Whether you want to view graphics, convert between formats, print your pictures, maintain a searchable database or perform sophisticated image processing, Graphic Workshop Professional offers unsurpassed speed, flexibility and user-friendliness. It's just shy of being able to read your mind and turn your computer off when you're done working.

Graphic Workshop Professional features multiple browser windows, batch processing, drag and drop, thumbnails, Pentium-optimized functionality and a lot more. It converts, prints, views, dithers, captions, transforms, flips, rotates, scales, scans, crops, colour-adjusts, quantizes, catalogs and wreaks special effects on ART, AVI, BGA, BMP, CALS, CAM, CDR previews, CUT, DCX, DLL, EPS previews, EXE, FIF, FITS, FLC, FLI, FPX FlashPix, GEM/Ventura GIF, HRZ, ICO, IFF, IMG, JPEG, KDC, KQP, LBM, MacPaint, MIDI (play only), MOV, MPEG view only, MSP, PCD, PCT, (Macintosh PICT), PCX, PIC, PNG, PSD, PSP, RAS, RGB, RGB, RLE, SCR, SFW, SGI, Targa, TIFF, TXT,VBX, WAV, WBMP, WMF, WPG and XBM picture files. Graphic Workshop Professional requires a Pentium or better processor. A display adapter and Windows screen driver capable of displaying more than 256 colours are recommended.

The Graphic Workshop Professional bundle also includes several ancillary applications. Registering Graphic Workshop Professional also registers this software. It includes:

• Resource Extractor – look for graphics, icons, text and sounds in Windows executables and libraries.
• Rotator – changes your Windows wallpaper and screen saver periodically.
• GIF Construction Set UltraLight – a simple GIF animator based on Alchemy Mindworks' GIF Construction Set software.

Graphic Workshop Professional is shareware. We invite you to try it out before you pay for it. Shareware evaluation copies of Graphic Workshop Professional are not crippled - you will be able to check out everything it does.

If you like Graphic Workshop Professional, please register it. The registration fee for this software is $44.99 (US) plus $5.00 shipping if you'd like a copy sent to you on CD-ROM. Complete ordering information is included in this documentation. See the Terms, Conditions and Legal Dogma document included with this software for the fine print, such as it is.

Please use the order form included with this software.

If you're paying by a cheque drawn on a bank outside North America, please be sure to make your cheque payable in US dollars. Your cheque must have the address of a North American clearing office and a bank transit number printed on it. Please do not send us Eurocheques – they cannot be cleared outside Europe.

Note that when you send us your order – and then when we send you your software – two distinct post offices get to deal with the ensuing mail. It can take a few weeks for things to get through this system &&150; we ask that you be patient. We don't fully understand why it takes less time for a package to get to Australia than it does to send one to Cleveland. Some things are best left as mysteries.
