   GraphicConverter 8.6

   Agen G. N. Schmitz

   Lemkesoft has released [1]GraphicConverter 8.6 with a number of new
   features, including the addition of layers, a brightness with curve
   function, and support for the DPHOTO online sharing and backup service.
   Other additions include a filmstrip option for displaying movies,
   shortcuts for both lossless and virtual rotation and mirroring, an
   option to save RGBA files as TIFFs with or without a premultiplied
   alpha channel, and a last-used zoom option. The graphic conversion and
   editing utility also receives a few updates, including improved WPG and
   WPG2 import, an updated ExifTool, extended keyboard control in the
   browser, and improved sharpen range. The update also fixes bugs that
   affected importing of CMYK TIFF files with JPEG compression, 32-bit
   grayscale TIFFs, and GIF animations in certain situations. Note that as
   of this writing, GraphicConverter is still stuck at version 8.5.3 in
   the [2]Mac App Store. ($39.95 new from the Lemkesoft Web site or $38.99
   from the Mac App Store, 155 MB, [3]release notes).
