RealWorld Paint 2011.1 released - RealWorld forums

After a more than 2 years, there is new version of RealWorld Paint. There are many new functions and a new name. RealWorld Paint.COM was shortened to just RealWorld Paint.

In the new version, you can:

• Edit animated GIFs.
• Import and export Photoshop files with layers and styles, GIMP and Paint.net files with layers.
• Retouch photographs with specialized tools.
• Use layer styles much more comfortably.
• Get fixes and updates automatically.
• Use new and updated image effects like Outline or Environment mapping.
• Draw with image brush.
• And do many more things...

Download RealWorld Paint from its home page.

This... makes me moist... lol.

I can see hundreds of downloads specifically for the animation and photoshop compatibility parts of the program.

Great! I did used to wonder about the ".com" part of the name. I'm glad it's gone now. What was the reason for that name?

Well, I thought it was funny. It was a parody of Paint.net.
+ RW Paint was built using the COM (Component Object Model) technology.
+ they are both TLDs.

Apparently, many people did not like it...
