Dynamic Brushes

Hello all,

First posting for my me :)

I've been using Gimp on and off now for a while (for a few years) and must say it has improved a lot since my first attemps. Though... there is one thing I'm wondering about which I hope someone could clear out for me.

Brushes. You can dynamicly change them... but only certain ones? If I use some brushes which I made I can't resize them dynamicly? or do I need to resave them in each pixel size that I want them?

best regards stefan andersson

you can tell the editable brushes from the bitmapped brushes in the brush palette. they have the blue corner. you can make a copy of those brushes and rename them and change the shape and make copies of the new ones to your hearts content. the brush editing dialog lets you change from circular or square or diamonds and there are controls for rays, hardness and a lot of other things.

the other brushes are images or stacks of images. their size cannot be changed. you can make new image brushes the old fashioned way -- where you make a new image and save that as gbr. i suggest that you should work with those editable brushes though, as it seems to be the direction your question was going.
