Make sure your not using Paint!!! MS Paint is not very capable compared to other free programs out there. Paint.NET for example. If your willing to pay than there's photoshop too.

all the textures you use in RF are located in an archive called 'default.txl'. You can add textures with RF texture packer. To use textures you must use RF Edit Pros modify brushes tool. To make textures you must be experienced with your image editor, in this case: gimp.

@megatop, stick with photoshop. It's better than paint and that's why it cost real money :D I have PS on another computer but I don't use it and am better at PDN anyways. Well, than again, I'm not really good at any art in general to begin with :D
