Subject: [Gimp-user] How to setup the maximum value of brush size?

Dear all: Can I setup the the maximum value of brush size slider to 25? Thank you.

Best Regards,

No, but you are correct that the lack of PRECISION click-and-drag adjustments to brush size is a serious annoyance on the end user. Sure, there's not much PRACTICAL difference between a 25-pixel brush and a 25.4 pixel (especially when using pressure dynamics on a tablet), but that extra 0.4px is just going to sit there in the back of your mind, slowly gnawing away at your sanity....

Numbers may not lie, but neither do they tell the whole truth.

You can, however, use the bracket keys [ and ] to change the size 1 pixel at a time. It's a little tedious, but it can go quite quickly and will always adjust in whole numbers. I also like to do it because it doesn't require selecting
it with my mouse and breaking up my drawing flow.

You can also bind { and } to tools-value-2-increase-skip either in edit/preferences/keyoard shrtcuts or in the menurc file, using the names braceright and braceleft. Then, { and } will change brush size faster. If you hold the keys down they auto-repeat, too.

I usually bind 2 and 3 to larger and smaller brush, and shift-2 (at) and shift-3 (hash, on my keyboard) to larger/smaller more, and 4 and 5 for softer/harder brush, and $ and % for softer/harder more.
