It was the ability to "Paint On"/"Paint off" any special effect using left/right mouse buttons this "live effect" would be really nice to have in The GIMP, Paul Nolan of Idruna software wrote the program that did this when he was 15 years old it was called PhotoGenic's, last I saw Paul is still around doing high-end work with media outlets/photographers.

How is that different from:
- duplicate the initial layer
- apply effect to the top layer
- add a layer mask to the top layer
- paint layer mask in white where you want the effect, in black where you want the initial, and in gray where you blend a bit of each
