Clean user interface
RealWorld Paint.COM can display images using any zoom factor and always shows 100% accurate preview
of the drawn shape. Tooltips are displayed throughout the user interface to explain meaning of controls.
After a geometric shape is added to an image, control handles appear and users can further
adjust the shape. New points can be added to poly-lines, curves and polygons by dragging a handle
of an edge.
RealWorld Paint.COM allows you to edit pictures with layers and assign effects to every layer.
A layer can have for example a bevel effect active giving all shapes a 3D look and feel.
Power inside
RealWorld Paint.COM has much hidden power under the hood and harbors features unexpected in
a freeware image editor. Many of its drawing tools and image filters are able to do
gamma-aware blending and color gradient interpolation, producing correct colors by default.
A powerful scripting system allows users to greatly extend and customize the functionality
of RW Paint.COM using JavaScript. For example the "Create screenshot" command (used to generate
the screenshot above) is a scripted function.
Beside the ability to use native plug-ins for virtually everything (filters, tool, fills,
windows, codecs, storage, …), RealWorld Paint.COM is also able to use the vast amount of plug-ins
compatible with Adobe Photoshop.
Nifty features
Ordinary applications are boring. RealWorld Paint.COM has a couple of nifty functions, not terribly
useful, but fun to use:
- Invoke commands using mouse gestures – perform a gesture with right mouse button
and something (configure it!) happens. Undoing was never easier. - Vista glass-like effects – draw semitransparent shapes (using "Xxx with effect" tool) and
the editor makes your shape look like a window frame on Windows Vista – it blurs background and
adds shadow and reflection. - Tool presets – save and quickly restore your favorite gradients, tool settings, or colors.
