Hi all, My opinion about that is the same as shirakawa if we want to do photography retouch and "superexact" works like these, but artisticaly i would prefer something like Martin says. It is more useful for the eye, if we want to make an stroke fast and not acuratly but in the aprox right place.the old method requieres user imagination to preview in his mind what will happen...
but i have to say that i don´t use this "brush outline feature" becouse it makes my gimp sloooooower with complex outlines.So if somebody has the solution for this... i am listening. best regards 2009/8/30 SHIRAKAWA Akira <[email protected]> > Martin Nordholts wrote: > > > I think the current brush outline for fuzzy brushes is too big.
