When I had 2.6, if I was working with my paint brush and had it at a small brush size, then turned my pen over to the eraser and I would have that tools brush size to be much bigger. My problem is the scaling of the brushes, ive tried everthing but at the end i dont feel satisfied with the behavior of how gimp scales the brushes pixel per pixel at time, its very slow working on large canvas, i know theres the scale more shortcut but its not quite precise and swapping between the normal scale shortcut with the scale more is a pain in the ass, at least for me because i barely use the keyboard so i rely heavily on my intuos 4 medium tablet using the touch ring for scaling, so my questions are: theres no way to have a similar brush scale behavior similar to the one in photoshop like it doesnt matter if im very zoomed in or very zoomed out, the brush scales fast and precise I dont remember where i read about this other shortcut called increase brush size relative, that is like a more precise way to scale the brush size but my problem is why it does nothing after assigning a key to it well it does, on the bottom where zoom percentage is located,to the right ive seen that it shows the selected tool, and when i click the assigned key to the command i said before it shows Brush Angel 0.00.Įver since I got 2.8 installed, the brush size is the same for all tools. Is there a way to save brush sizes and then just merely click to continue on. In GIMP it looks like one has to manipulate the size every time.Īnd if youre to say use the eraser tool, it has to be manipulated to a desired size and then all over again to go back to drawing. Using photoshop I could just click on a new brush size and shape as I was drawing. This is my first time using gimp so Im probably missing something.
I tried creating new brushes for both the paintbrush and the eraser, but theres no brush size option. So Ill adjust the eraser size to something like 50px, erase, turn over, and now the paintbrush is at 50px. What happens now is that Ill set the paintbrush size to 10px, paint for a little while, turn the pen over to erase and the eraser will now be at 10px. I should also note that I am aware of the shortcut action Select Brush by Index, however it always selects the first brush. Perhaps even better would be to select specific tool presets with custom keys. My keyboard is correctly set up and i even reset Photoshop, but still nothing. The problem is that i no longer have the possibility to use this shortcut, and i do not know why. To redim the brush size it is possible to use the shortcut ALT right click. Is this a bug or do I need to set something new in a setup menu. I pressed every single key on my keyboard but I cant find the keys. When in doubt, report it anyway, we will figure out duplicates and mark them accordingly.įinally, please don’t forget you can donate to the project and personally fund several GIMP developers, as a way to give back and accelerate the development of GIMP.But in gimp for mac its a nightmare (secondary button doesnt acces brush settings) to change quickly brush sizes. If you are unsure whether a bug is already known, you can search for them there, or have a look at all the issues reported for the macOS platform. If you encounter any issue in addition to the two linked above, please let us know the bugs page explains how to do this. It feels really good to have active contributors to the macOS platform again, this gives us confidence that the issues can be investigated properly and, hopefully, mitigated or completely solved. It is likely both are symptoms of the same underlying technical issue, that being the image window content being updated completely and far too frequently than necessary. GIMP being very slow and invisible selection outlines are reported most frequently.
It is not all well on the platform yet, though - with users upgrading to the latest macOS release, Big Sur, we started getting reports about performance and user interface issues. To check the release notes for GIMP 2.10.18, Of the changes are quite visible and noticable to users, so it is a good idea Had been limited to this increasingly outdated version for far too long. This brings all the changes and fixes since GIMP 2.10.14 to macOS users, who
