Mixing up creating a brush preset with creating a new brush? The screenshots have the docks side-by-side to save space but they are there on your Gimp, maybe in different places. This is in the *** Tool Options *** dock 1. The brush presets assign characteristics to an existing brush. see: https://i.imgur.com/Xw0sen9.jpg New tool preset (1) brings up the preset editor, give the preset a name (2) check the tick boxes and save (3) 2. Need to restore a preset: https://i.imgur.com/D6iBYLg.jpg click the icon for a menu. New Brush is in the *** Brushes *** dock 3. Click on Create a new brush, https://i.imgur.com/yftdQN5.jpg will bring up the parametric brush editor. A parametric brush is some-name.vbr Give it a name so you can find it again, Adjust the values to suit. Click on refresh brushes and it will be there. https://i.imgur.com/UisppDJ.jpg Other Types of brushes 4. A some-name.gbr is a bitmap brush, can be grayscale or colour. You can edit one, open as an image, edit, *** export *** with the .gbr filename suffix. https://i.imgur.com/PpAZ1hb.jpg If you have the brush editor (vbr) editor open the parameters are grayed out, they do not apply to this type of brush. 5. A some-name.gih is a Gimp image-hose, an animated brush. Briefly a layered image, grayscale or colour. *** Export *** with filename suffix .gih. https://i.imgur.com/bhPJIIF.jpg That explains the types of brush but does not ask the question, Why a New Brush? If it is a matter of brush size, and shape you should should be using the sliders for size, aspect ratio, angle in the Brush Tool Options dialogue and not creating a new brush. rich: www.gimp-forums.net -- rich404 (via www.gimpusers.com/forums) _______________________________________________ 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
