Hi, enselic@xxxxxxxxx (2009-07-20 at 0036.20 +0200): [...] > gradients). This enables us to add a bigger set of default resources. Here you say "bigger". [...] > A few things are clear: > > * The new default resources must fit the product vision [1] Does that leave things like Gimp Paint Studio out of the map? > * The resources must be very general in nature Highly related to the point before, are proper airbrush or fake hair "tips" (pretty common in photoretouching) general enough? That is what always sounded strange in the product vision and the decissions based in it, they feel out of contact sometimes, as users have shown they do things in a bit more artistic way and less "run filter and cross fingers". > * We can't have a huge set of resources since we need to keep > the size of the tarball within reasonable limits Now you say "smaller" or "same"? Sorry, I am confused about what is the target. [...] > I think we at least should: > > * Add larger variants of the circle and fuzzy circle > brushes, say 50, 100, 250 and 500 px Remove scale widget and instead add true pixel control of all the brushes, so no more multiple sizes of the same thing needed because people can access all the sizes they want in fast and simple way (and if they want to keep some versions, they can clone brushes). Instead, add different shapes and settings that are not controlled via size (sharp vs fuzzy could get one or more in between step, for example) or diverse pixmap brushes (grunge and realistic tips for paintbrush, spray can, airbrush, pencil, etc). That would a better use, and would make clear the size setting is for something, instead of crowding the dialogs with many repeated circles. > * Try to get rid of the Pepper, Sparks and Vine brushes > in a backwards compatible way And as demo of animated or colour brushes we have... nothing? I think we should add some others pixmap and animated instead of removing them, for example grunge or rust types are good candidates. Ship some good presets demoing all the power, and even not-so-curious users will start to experiment. I had drafted the initial version yesterday, but I see others agree in general terms, less "boring circles" and more "provide examples of what can be done and how they are better used".
