Hi Gimp-user, After creating a rectangle with the Rectangle Select Tool, rotating it -40 degrees, I selected Edit > Stroke Selection. I clicked the radio button next to "Stroke with a paint tool" and then Paintbrush in the "Paint tool" drop down.
I then created a rectangle parallel to the one above using the "same" Paintbrush. I made no changes to the Paintbrush Tool Options. I created this rectangle freehand, clicking where the 4 corners would be while holding the shift key. Should the 2 painted rectangles look alike? Even though I used the "same" Paintbrush, the lines of the two rectangles are very different. I would have thought that they would have been the same (and I was going to prove it to myself :-)), since I'm creating colored lines with the same tool (Paintbrush) - one via Stroked Selection, one via freehand. The freehand rectangle has anti-aliasing. The one created by Stroke Selection using the same Paintbrush does not. The lines are very choppy. Did I miss an option in the Stroke Selection Dialog? I tried some of the options in the Rectangle Select Tool, before Rotating and Stroking, but they didn't change anything. I'm not sure why in the Rectangle Select Tool anti-aliasing is grayed out unless rounded corners is enabled. In one try, I made rounded corners radius 0 and anti-aliasing enabled before rotating and stroking the selection. No difference. I'm using Paintbrush Circle (01), Scale 3. I'm great at creating straight lines on 180 or 90 degrees :-), but add an angle, slant (like above) or a curve, and I need a little more practice. Thank you. -- __________________________ DJ _______________________________________________ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user
