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...

Next time you compile RealWorld Paint you might want to change the file version along with the product version...the product version is 2011.1, but the file version is still 11.1.10.1 - I believe it should be 12.1.1.9?

Anyway, it confuses version checker software like Sumo which constantly thinks it needs updated.
