Hi all. I am currently working on some tweaks to the generated brushes (the brushes you can configure interactively). In Gimp CVS you can generate brushes like these: http://www.home.unix-ag.org/simon/files/generated-brushes.png Note, that currently the new functionality does not affect existing generated brushes. However, when I fiddeled with this stuff I got the impression, that the hardness-parameter should be a bit more extendable to the soft side of the brush - IMHO hardness 0.0 is not yet soft enough. I have a patch sitting here, that makes more soft brushes possible, but since this patch still maps the range from 0 to 1 the hardness for existing generated brushes would effectively be reduced, i.e. existing brushes will look softer when loaded with the next release of the GIMP. Do you think this is acceptable? Note that the current hardness could be reached easily by dragging the slider a bit upwards again. Do you have lots of generated brushes sitting on your harddisk (look for files ending in ".vbr" in ~/.gimp-2.0/brushes/ )? Would you be upset if they'd change their look a little?
