I use the remove empty border operation a lot....
I don't, however, think the crop tool is so useful.

RW paint 2013.1 for me cannot open any .png or any other file other than .jpg nor can i create a new image file at all, is this a problem I'm causing or a fault in this new-ish program?

I uninstalled and downloaded the portable version instead works like a charm, dunno what happened with the main program tho

I will re-test it, but it should be working just like the portable... Did you have previous version installed?

Is it possible to make a plug-in that makes special editable items, like if someone wanted to create a new kind of shape?
I'm no developer, but if I were, I'd try to make a special curve with varying width, wider near the bends and narrower near the ends. I know the release date's pretty soon though. And it's awesome as it is! It's really cool! I'm just wondering if plugins like that are possible.

Yes, drawing tool plug-ins are possible, but harder to do.

the srink mask selection doesnt work!! 😮

in rw paint 2013. i cant shrink a mask selection
wy ?

There seems to be an error in that. Until it is fixed, you would need to use a workaround: Invert selection -> Grow selection (possibly multiple times) -> Invert selection

ok

With rwpaint 2013 for me. The "simple selection" doesn't work... it follows the mouse pointer even if I release the button.
And filters 8bf don't work with a mask, and after the first time I tried this, some filters don't work even without mask. If i never tried with a mask, they work.
I tried on 2 pc, one with xp, the other with seven, both have these problems.
The 2012 version works well. 😁

All 3 errors should be fixed later today - you'll need to download the installer/zip again and uninstall the older version manually. I'll probably publish the fixes as updates in a few days so it should start working in a week or two even if you do not re-install.

great and fast job. 😎 now 2013 works perfectly. Thank you

Sorry, but with 2013 version, the effect "drop shadow" doesn't work with a mask. I have a dialog box error 0x8000ffff (installed or portable version)
works with the 2011.1 version

Right you are. It will be fixed tomorrow.

Fixed version (also with some additional Photoshop plugin compatibility tweaks) is now uploaded.

nice. Thank you

could have a blur brush with option blur intensity

It is already there (Retouch tool - Soften mode), but it is not really usable right now, because the blurring effect is very low. It definitely needs an improvement.

😮 I did not understand, as it does to blur an image? blur the background of a photo

Yes, the Retouch tool set to Smoothen mode does blurring, but very small one - equivalent to a 1px blur and it is not really suitable for anything, but blurring of small icons.
