+1. These are the two that really cause me headaches when I have the 
artist hat on. Maybe I simply "don't know what I'm missing", but I 
haven't been bit by lack of any of the more "advanced" stuff, but lack 
of blur and masks is really limiting. (And, actually, lack of masks is 
really bad because it must be worked around destructively, i.e. by doing 
CSG on the paths which destroys the original path, thereby making 
editing harder. Also, in the case of the alphabet blocks mahjongg 
tileset, I can see where masking would have allowed massive use of 
cloning that would probably cut the file size by so 70% or more.)
