Gimp Photoshop brush setting for Gimpshop

Hi. I would like to see some features in Gimpshop: customising brushes like in Photoshop. You know that in that software, the brush tab reveals some settings such as size jitter, dual brush etc. I would like to use all these settings in Gimp. I have bought a book with a CD with some brushes for texturing from Marta Dahling. The brushes are cool and Marta provides some settings on how to modify the brush proprietes for the best results. Unfortunately, at this stage, Gimp didn't help me to get the settings done, because it lacks some brush editing settings. If brush editing for Gimpshop would be the same as in Photoshop, with sliders, percents etc, this would help me use the brushes properly...and they are ones of the coolest brushes I've ever seen. This is the last thing I need. Please add this feature.

This list is for gimp, not gimpsho (or maybe you are on a forum that's gatewayed to the gimp user mailing list). None the less, the tool options for the paintbrush in gimp does include jitter and size; if you make an editable brush in gimp you can also link the brush size to tablet pen pressure or angle.

I would like to use all these
settings in Gimp. I have bought a book with a CD with some brushes for texturing from Marta Dahling.

Was Marta's book for GIMP or for Photoshop? There are plenty of good books about Gimp.

If brush editing for Gimpshop
would be the same as in Photoshop,

As which version of Photoshop exactly? Gimp isn't trying ot be a photoshop clone - if you want photoshop, buy photoshop. You are asking for people to do months of programming work for free because you bought a book with some brushes you like? Then Adobe will come out with a new version of PhotoShop and the interface will change, and you'll expect people to jump and do it all over again?

Learn how GIMP works today first please. There are lots of people who will help you with that.

in Photoshop.

GIMPShop was based on an older GIMP version (GIMP 2.2, AFAIK). In the meantime GIMPs brush editing capabilities were improved. Now many brush effects can be achieved through the Paint Tools settings and the new Dynamics which were introduced in GIMP 2.8. You can find it out in the [help] or if you try GIMP from www.gimp.org/downloads.

There are also brush ressources in the web, i.e. [DeviantArt].

While GIMP is a great image manipulation software, other free software specialized on digital painting, like [MyPaint] and [Krita], might also be a good choice to live out your creativity in painting.

Good luck!

Sven
