GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 140376
Set brush radius
Last modified: 2004-04-18 10:05:55 UTC
It would be nice in a new development version of GIMP to be able to set the radius of the pen/eraser/brush, etc by dragging a slider or by setting the diameter in pixels instead of having the limited number of brush and eraser sizes. This way erasers and brushes could essentially be any size. And then perhaps the shape of the brush could be a separate option (slanted line, circle, green pepper, etc).
This seems to be a common misconception. The stock brushes can not be changed; however you can create a new brush and edit its size at will. I suggest closing this as NOTABUG.
I disagree. Having a number of brush outlines which can be scaled to virtually any size would be a nice feature addition, imho.
