Of course it could be done. Someone just needs to write the code. Sven ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user

Why not? IMHO, If it was the same as a truetype font and the bitmap brush was 300x300 pixels, maybe; because we'd always scale down and there'd be no attempt to up-scale and try and make a better brush from a brush with less data. [Loss of quality is another issue, meaning that you can only have so much data there...] If you have a 8x8 brush and want to draw something that is 80x80, that is a completely different matter. Of course, scaling would make so much sense with SVG/Vector brushes -- but then, GIMP is a raster graphics program. No-win situation. *sigh* If the code is there, and it is possible to get at it using another device; it doesn't seem to me for it to be unreasonable to provide mice-based and/or keyboard-based ways of providing the same funcationality... but that said, it has to be done within limits or users will simply get confused and/or complain about weird things. -- ~Mike - Just my two cents - No man is an island, and no man is unable. ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user

Why not? See - I have this "digit" animated brush - just a set of 0 to 9 numbers in some pretty font, sprayed in random order. The brush size is just one, but depending on the desired effect, and the image size I am working on (for online viewing or for printing), I need a different size of the brush. With the current features opf the GIMP I need to make a new version of the brush for each size I wish to use it. There is a feature request in bugzilla about a Curves UI to control various brush variables - I hope we can implement that someday.

This is a missing feature for standard bitmap brushes. The code is even there, but currently it is used only with pressure sensitive input devices, and it lacks a UI for using with ordinary mice.

Re: [Gimp-user] Brush size and my tablet
The brush selector has brushes of different sizes. In the brush options, click on the brush icon. It hides the selector. It wasn't obvious to me, either.

I'm using version 1.2.3. GIMP-1.3 has a preview of the brush outline, not the shortcuts to change size though. Perhaps you should try the development series; GIMP has evolved quite a bit since GIMP-1.2 and the latest 1.3 releases are quite stable.
