[Gimp-user] Layer groups seriously broken - huge resource hog
Whilst I have played with settings recently to use an SSD partition for swap, this answer still doesn't address why the disk space usage is wasteful. The extra space not being used for anything worthwhile will fill up my disk much faster. >Layers groups are not meant to keep things tidy. They are meant to >force >the compositing order, like parentheses in a mathematical equation. >Groups have their own opacity, blending mode (and layer mask in 2.10). >Layers in a group are composed, resulting in a virtual layer, which is >composed with the layers (or virtual layers from groups) in the parent >level... > >It is possible that layers groups add just enough memory to overflow >the >tile cache and force Gimp to work with a swap (this really slows tings >down).

[Gimp-user] Gimp 2.10: bush default size

[Gimp-user] Gimp 2.10: bush default size
In 2.8, Gimp kept the current brush size when you switched between brushes. In 2.10, whenever you switch to a different brush, it changes the size to the default size for that brush (51 for the basic round brushes). This is absolutely never the size I want. Can I do either of the following: -Change this setting so that it keeps the current brush size when you switch brushes, as it did in 2.8. -Barring that, change the default brush size. This must be for ALL brushes--I can't use the brush editor to change them individually, as I have over 500 brushes. I need to do one of these or else I'll have to revert back to 2.8. I don't have time to continually change back my brush size. -- katz (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
