- Graphic Workshop for Windows has been rewitten for release 1.1. If you've
- used an older version of the software, you'll find this one considerably
- different.
-
- To begin with, it will come up in Thumbnail mode. You will see at least three
- image icons, one or more grey boxes with red circles in them... "no image"
- icons... and icons representing the drives and directories of your system.
- Clicking on these will work just like clicking on the names in the traditional
- list box mode.
-
- You can get to the list box mode by selecting Use Thumbnails from the
- Thumbnails menu. This is a toggle... selecting it again will return you to
- thumbnail mode. You can configure Graphic Workshop to always come up in its
- list box mode through the Setup dialog.
-
- There is much more extensive help in this release of Graphic Workshop, with
- Help buttons in most of the dialogs. If you get stuck, click on Help.
