Did you ever try mtPaint[0]? It has such selection feature too

In mtPaint just select rectangle and click "Delete" button ;-)

- yoz-y 9y agoI haven't used that but according to the description in documentation it is not exactly the same. In gimp the selection has smart corners one can drag around, feathering and rounded corners. If I want to do something similar in Affinity Photo for example, I have to make the selection, go to quick mask mode, and then use the move tool. In Pixelmator it had similar issues. > In mtPaint just select rectangle and click "Delete" button ;-) That looks a bit unintuitive to me. I would expect that this would either fill the selection with white (or the set document background color, or with transparency).
