In my opinion the idea of the brush outline is that it represents its total area of effect, or in other words, the area where pixels will be affected in a way or another while drawing. The brush outline for fuzzy brushes (assuming dynamics aren't applied) *looks* too big, but it actually isn't. This is most evident by drawing a few strokes with the fuzzy brush on a transparent layer and then adjusting the alpha level channel on Colors>Levels to coordinates (0;255) . A more useful patch (in my opinion) for brush outlines would be making them change together with brush dynamics (even if the user isn't actually drawing, just moving the cursor on the drawing area) if they are enabled. This could be useful in many ways, but I have the impression it would lead to performance issues. -- SHIRAKAWA Akira _______________________________________________ Gimp-developer mailing list Gimp-developer@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer
