Inversion of size due to pressure
Greetings all, ^_^
I recently encountered an odd problem in my use of my tablet with the GIMP.
At some point during work on a picture, the airbrush's response to pressure, as applied to the brush size, inverted. A light stroke now produces a broad line, and a heavy stroke produces a thin line.
This seems to only be the case with the airbrush, that I've found, and only with regards to size - the paintbrush seems to scale as I expect, and the airbrush's opacity pressure response produces faint lines for light pressure and more opaque lines for higher pressure, for example.
I have thus far tried looking through the "preferences" dialogue, hunting about on my computer, searching the 'net (including the GUG forum and at least a few of the mailing list archives), thus far with little success.
I did uncover the following in an airbrush tool options file (found, as I recall, in c:\Documents and Settings\\.gimp-2.4\tool-options\gimp-airbrush-tool): "(pressure-inverse-size yes)" (sans inverted commas, of course.)
Unfortunately, simply changing the "yes" to "no" (or removing the line, if I'm not much mistaken) doesn't seem to help - the problem is still present on the next startup, and the line is again present as above once the GIMP has next been shut down, I believe.
I'm using a Genius WizardPen, the GIMP 2.4.5 (having upgraded from 2.4.4, I think that it was, as part of my attempts at solving this problem), and am running all of this on Windows XP, SP, if I recall correctly.
My thanks for help offered! ^_^

This behaviour is intentional, and mimics real airbrush behaviour. AFAIK it cannot be configured.

This didn't happen at some point, it has always been like that. When you move an airbrush away from the surface, it will create a larger spot. Admittedly the airbrush tool isn't very realistic, but at least for the size it tries to behave like a real airbrush tool.

Greetings again. ^_^
Thank you very much for your replies.
Hmm... It's odd that I hadn't noticed it doing that previously. Perhaps my copy had a glitch? :/
I'm pretty confident that I remember the operation changing from scaling up with pressure to scaling down - but my memory may be faulty. It's also possible that I had been using the paintbrush previously, but, while it's not impossible, this seems rather unlikely to me. Ah well.
I take it then that there's no way to reverse this?
My thanks, Ian Eborn.
