There's a lot to like. If you do a lot of "painting" of various sorts, being able to change the size and hardness of your brush via the mouse wheel might be one of them. This is not configured by default, but the menu where this can be set up is shown here: http://pilobilus.net/img/mouse-scale-brush.jpg I find alt plus mouse wheel up or down to increase or decrease brush radius, and ctrl-alt plus mouse wheel to increase or decrease hardness convenient. Your mileage may vary. Whatever keys you use, it sure beats constantly switching brushes on detail work... My own admittedly quirky way of setting up the Gimp is shown here: http://pilobilus.net/gimp_tutorial.html :o) _______________________________________________ gimp-user-list mailing list List address: gimp-user-list@gnome.org List membership: https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user-list List archives: https://mail.gnome.org/archives/gimp-user-list
