"I don't understand what you mean... what should IrfanPaint do with the effects?"
Sorry, that was my mistake in thinking!
Please forget this suggestion!
It's not logical to create something twice!
Steve has answered:
"inspirating is good, but not (blind) copying ... "
That's also my opinion!
But some components of these programs are really very ingenious!
And what about:
- option to add watemarks
- ruler
- color picker
- adjustable magnifying glass with a selectable window size and selectable enlargement to move over a picture in IrfanView
1) The position at the right as it is now is fine by me. But magnetizing would be nice.
I often work with images smaller than the screen (with Fit Window to Image), and when I zoom in with a +, the toolbar stays on it's first spot, so gets in the way.
2) Pick the arrow of the toolbar. Then one can activate the normal context menu of IrfanView.
Hmm, but what happens if the window gets so big that there is no room at the edge for the Paint bar? I work on tiny icons, but I also remove blemishes from large photos.

Of course it should stay on screen at the right, like it does now.
You're right about the complications with this. If the bar is magnetized and moves with the bitmap-edge, there has to be some detection to prevent it from going off-screen, to disable the magnet.
I think it's difficult (but possible) to add a ruler, because you must consider the dependence on selected dpi size!
That means, if I change the dpi size, then accordingly the scaling must be changing!
It must be a movable ruler for horizontal and vertically!
And the user must see the selected dpi size inside the ruler and how the scaling is changing, if dpi size is changing!
It would be nice, if for such a ruler different units (and skins) were selectable!
grafic ruler
Add also an on/off switchable grafic ruler, which is fixed at the picture contour in IrfanView horizontal and vertically!
Please consider also here the dependence of the scaling on the selected dpi size!
regards

Reason: update
Since there are a number of good free rulers available - some with quite a few options for size adjustment etc. - I don't think it is necessary to encumber it with one. Not everyone needs exactly the same features in a ruler, or the same features for every purpose - I keep several for different uses.

Right-click and paint with the brush background colour.
Undo doesn't work.
Works fine with foreground colour.

I just spent half an hour cleaning up a scan with the clone tool. I must say it works very well. Easy to adjust the source and target and to resize the tool.
I don't need a ruler and I don't care about DPI until I want to print something.
..cleaning up a scan with the clone tool. I must say it works very well.
Yess.. It's great for cleaning too. Before IP I had to run PSP, just to remove one spot.
Opacity was mentioned lately. Maybe this tool is a candidate for such an option too.
A finetuning when painting with an area which maybe has a slightly different structure.
It's quite perfect; I was going to write a guide to IP, but now that you have already done it we can include it in the IrfanView help file, if you want.
(BTW there are some typos => many "the" are typed "teh")
I'm sure that it is a long way from perfect yet. Let's wait for a few months at least, and a couple of patches before trying to include it in the help file. The typos were corrected even while you posted your reply.
I still want a spray, and fuzzy edges would be nice...meanwhile, I will settle happily for cleaning up the wee bugs - especially the tendency for the brush or line tool to go one pixel off to the right or sometimes just not do.
