2009-04-26 Thread Rob Antonishen
So is your thought to provide a new set of PDB calls with extra parameters like brush scale, jitter, etc? The drawback to this might be that as more brush dynamics get added the functions will get obsoleted, much the current set that provide gradient colouring. Here is another question... Should

gimp is not a good choise for digital painting because it doesnt have a blending tool. Paint tool sai in the respect is far superior because its brush engine is much more advanced for smooth blending On Sun, Apr 26, 2009 at 11:37 AM, LightningIsMyName < lightningismyn...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hello

Hello, Gimp 2.6 allows to use brush dynamics to control opacity, size, hard and color. These features greatly increase the drawing capabilities of gimp, and many users find them very useful. However, we don't have any way to access these from inside the PDB... I think that it would be nice to be
