Re: [Gimp-user] changing the brush sizes

[Richard]

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 is a slider to specify 
the brush size.


I can provide a screenshot if you want one (but I'm not sure if the mailing 
list will accept it).

Any ideas why on I can change hardness, angle, and aspect ratio, but not size?
This happens on two different computers  (Mac OS), and has been a problem for me
for about a year; it used to work fine...

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.

I have a comprehensive (for me) solution to the Brush Size (and
Hardness) Question.

First, note that there are two major classes of GIMP brush:  GBR brush
files are bitmaps, fixed in size and hardness.  VBR brush files are
vectors, with variable size and hardness that can be changed "on the
fly" with keyboard + mouse commands while using the brushes.

Here's a set of VBR brushes I made; they cover over 90% of my own uses
for brush tools in the GIMP; I named them to assure that they appear at
the top of the list in the Brushes dialog:

http://pilobilus.net/xfer/Variable-Brushes.zip

Drop them into your /brushes folder, and viola.

Preview:

http://pilobilus.net/xfer/brushes.png

The oval ones are good for getting into tight spaces.

Now about that "change size and hardness on the fly" part:

Go to Edit > Preferences > Input Controllers and double click on Main
Mouse Wheel to bring up the configuration dialog. Picture worth thousand
words (or at least a hundred or so):

http://pilobilus.net/img/mouse-scale-brush.jpg

I also configure the GIMP to make the current brush "softer" or "harder"
- that is, more or less fuzzy around the edge - in response to holding
down Ctrl + Shift + Alt and scrolling the mouse wheel up and down.
Controlling brush size and hardness with the mouse wheel is way more
efficient than constantly switching between brushes. These settings can
be found in the same menu as above.

These brushes and settings save enough stress and hassle in one editing
project to way more than justify the time and effort it takes to
configure them.  Then you have them "forever" or at least as long as
your present GIMP installation is in place.

You can save the whole combo of brush size, opacity, fade, etc, by 
saving the Tool options for the Paintbrush (or the Pencil, Eraser, 
Smudge...).


You can also create a brush at a given size so you wouldn't restore a 
size but just the brush with the right size from the Brush palette.

Hi Jim,

from he textual description of a youtube video I found out while
having your same problem:

"GIMP has a very good at working with realistic paint brushes, but the
default installation lacks a very useful shortcut. If you have worked
with the Paint Brush or Pencil tool, you may have noticed that
changing the size of the brush isn't easy. You have to fiddle around
with the Size/Scale slider in the tool options on the left. This is a
lot of guess work, because it doesn't show a preview size when you are
dragging the slider. Have no fear, there is an easier way. Configure
the mouse wheel to increase and decrease the brush size when you
scroll up or down.

-Click "Edit"?"Preferences"
-Under the "Input Devices" section, click "Input Controllers"
-In the "Active Controllers" column, double-click "Main Mouse Wheel"
-A new window to configure the controller will pop up. Make sure the
second check box, "Enable this Controller" is checked, or else this
won't work
-Find the "Scroll Up" event, (it should be at the top). Double-click
it or click "Edit" at the bottom.
-Click on the "Tools" section and type "increase" in the search field
-Scroll down and click on the action "Increase Brush Size". The name
is "tools-paint-brush-size-increase&qu­ot;. (In some versions of GIMP
it was "Increase Brush Scale")
-Close the window, then edit the "Scroll Down" event
-This time type "Decrease" in the search bar and locate the "Decrease
Brush Size" action. (Name is "tools-paint-brush-size-decrease&qu­ot;)
-Close the action window, input controller window and click OK in the
"Preferences" window

Now you can simply scroll the mouse wheel to vary the brush size."

Hope it helps,
To me, it works perfectly! ;)

Cheers,


When I have a tool open like the paint brush, clone, or something 
similar, if my cursor is in the image, I simple tap the [ to make it 
smaller or the ] to make it larger. I do this all the time and I love 
it. I may try to above, might be even easier.

Re: [Gimp-user] changing the brush sizes

[Richard]

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.

There are simpler answers than this, but here's a post I made about
changing brush sizes (and hardness) a couple of weeks ago:

I do a lot of photo editing and image authoring, so I spend a lot of
time using Brush type tools in the GIMP.  When I discovered that brushes
can be resized "on the fly" via mouse + keyboard commands, my workflow
changed radically - more speed, more precision, less stress.  Changing
brush hardness the same way completes the picture of a happier me.

A GIMP VBR variable brush scales with "perfect" resolution and has
adjustable hardness because it is a vector, not a bitmap.  The VBR
brushes available in the basic set included with the GIMP did not suit
me, so I made a few of my own:  A circle, four ellipses with different
orientations, a square and a diamond.  Making them with the GIMP brush
editor is trivially easy, but here they are for e-z download and
installation:

http://pilobilus.net/xfer/brushes.png

http://pilobilus.net/xfer/Variable-Brushes.zip

Just extract the brushes into your local ./.gimp2.8/brushes/ directory
(or wherever yours is located), start the GIMP and open the brushes
dialog:  If you have not named any other brushes with strings of leading
zeroes, the seven new variable brushes should be at the top of the list.
 (If you want them elsewhere, rename them; the GIMP sorts brushes
alphabetically by file name.)

A set of general purpose GIMP variable brushes is only useful if you can
"vary" them on demand.  For that, configure this:

Go to Edit > Preferences > Input Controllers.  Double click Main Mouse
Wheel in the right pane in the dialog window to open its configuration
dialog.  You can chose other keyboard combinations if desired, these
work well for me:

Find the Scroll Up (Alt) item in the list.  Double click on it to change
the default setting if any, and use the search box to find "Increase
Brush Size."  Double click this item in the list to set it.  The top
dialog box will close, leaving the General - Mouse Wheel one open.

As above, find and set the following options:

Scroll Up (Ctrl-Alt) - Decrease Hardness
Scroll Down (Alt) - Decrease Brush Size
Scroll Down (Ctrl-Alt) - Increase Hardness

That's it:  Close out of the confifiguration menu and check out the
variable brushes by painting in black on a white canvas:  I find the
keyboard command options I list easy to remember and and use.  Your
mileage may vary and if so, you can choose different keyboard and mouse
wheel combinations.

I find the set of brushes provided above ideal for generic use (round),
getting into tight corners (the ovals), and following rectilinear
contours (the square & diamond).  You may want different brushes; check
out the GIMP brush editor and soon you will be making variable brushes
suited to your unique needs.

Brushes etc. are hereby released under cc share-alike license, use them
freely for any lawful or other purpose.

Tool Options dialog/Size—should be the first item after brush identification,

Re: [Gimp-user] changing the brush sizes

[Rick Strong]

David,

I changed the "Scroll Up" event to  "tools-paint-brush-size-increase-skip" 
because I found increasing the brush size was way too slow, only 
incrementing upwards at 1 unit at a time with one click of the wheel. Going 
to "tools-paint-brush-size-increase-skip" increases the brush size 10 units 
at a time per wheel click, which suits me. YMMV.


I left the reduce size ("Scroll Down") where it was. That way I can refine 
the brush size by going downwards at 1-unit/click.

"Me too."

I believe this should be a default setting:  It's massively useful,
and most users simply won't be able to find and follow instructions
like those given above.  My own attempt to make a how-to consists of
a brief explanation of the desired end result, and this picture:

http://pilobilus.net/img/mouse-scale-brush.jpg

I also set control + alt + scroll to dial brush hardness up and
down.  These tweaks have VASTLY accelerated my workflow.

Re: [Gimp-user] changing the brush sizes

[Judy Wilson]

If you double click on the brush, you'll also get a dialog box with some 
setting for that tool. The easiest thing I've found lately about 
changing brush size is to simply put the cursor on the canvas to see 
what size it is, then I just hit the left bracket [ key to make it 
smaller and the right bracket ] key to make it larger, and I can see the 
size as it changes. It will remain that size if I change tools, like to 
the clone tool. Don't know anything about the drop downs, sorry.
