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

Any suggestions please The same results as the History Brush can be obtained by working on layers within an image in the GIMP. Basically: 1) Duplicate the layer you are about to do things to, or in the Layers dock do "New from visible" to get a layer that includes the result of previous layers combined. 2) Do things to your new layer. 3) In the Layers dock dialog, do "add layer mask", accept the default setting - a white mask that leaves all parts of the image layer visible. 4) Paint (or fill selections) on the mask layer in black, to "undo" the changes to parts of your new layer. To leave the changes in your new layer partially visible, paint or fill with shades of gray; to do this progressively, i.e. blend edges etc., set the brush tool's opacity to some value less than 100%. Then, additional strokes will progressively darken the area of the mask you are painting, progressively revealing the layer(s) below the one you are working on. Different tools, different workflow, same result. http://docs.gimp.org/2.6/en/gimp-layer-mask-add.html :o) Steve ___ 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

Any suggestions please There's no such feature in GIMP yet. The request for it has been tracked for a long time, but so far noone volunteered to implement it.
