That's because, in GIMP, vector brushes (i.e. the Brush Editor) are "sizeless", i.e. scalable to whatever desired size you want for the tool you're using. So select a tool of interest (such as Paintbrush) and look in THAT toolbox instead -- right under the option to select which brush you want

Thanks, Steve. They probably don’t fit my work, but the insight to your setup is quite valuable. The brushes in GIMP are probably it’s most confusing aspect, especially to relative tyros, or those switching from APS. Ross > On Dec 14, 2016, at 3:21 PM, Steve Kinney

I'm not sure I'm understanding this correctly, but in current GIMPs the actual size of a brush is controlled through the Tool Options of the active painting tool - the size shown in the Brush Editor is merely the default size for said brush. -- Stratadrake strata_ran...@hotmail.com
