Creating brushes

Hi Everyone...

I'm new to the list, and pretty new to the Gimp. As a photographer I'm still using Photoshop
as my primary tool, because I need to be able to work on 16 bit images. I understand that
that eventually the Gimp will have 16 bit processing incorporated into the program.
That being said, I do use the Gimp for some of my jpg files, and I am wondering if there is a
way to create larger soft brushes. I often use a large soft brush for a number of things in
Photoshop (clone stamp, vignetting, various mask work) and the largest soft brush that I can
find in the Gimp is much too small. Is there a work-around for this?

TIA...

Rem

The simplest way, in your case, is probably to use the Scale option in the Paintbrush tool options. Using it with a 76x76 brush, you can get a brush up to 760x760, which I hope is enough?

Got it! Thanks Oliver and Greg.

Click the New button in the Brushes dialog, and then Edit brush button so you can use the Brush editor to set the parameters.

As GIMP is able to load quite a few of the brush file formats that Photoshop uses, you could probably just continue to use your favorite brushes in GIMP. There are also plenty of additional brushes available for GIMP. And of course GIMP allows you to easily create your own brushes:
