1) i agree with Alexia , get rid of all duplicates as the "circle soft" and "circle hard" brush. If may be scaled only 1 is needed 2) most flexible brushes are that created with the brush editor that can be not only resized but tilted, rotated,made harder or softer on the fly, even with keystrokes But shapes are so limited : will be no possible add some simple shapes as spiral and ring ? to clarify "ring": as circle or square or polygonal BUT only the contour is stamped, and the thickness of the contour may be modified .(..with maximum thickness a "square ring brush" is identical to a classic "square brush" ,with minimum is 1px outline of the contour) 3 about animated brush, stars, grass,stones and dirty brushes may be a good example, their possible use should be intuitive 4 brush tools would need better preset i make a example with the clone tool As default for clone tool i see a HARD circle brush at 100% opacity, but the clone tool seldom works well used at full opacity with hard brushes... something as a SOFT round brush with a bit less opacity would be a"better" default : "better" in most case and, even more relevant, for the first contact with the tool. _______________________________________________ Gimp-developer mailing list Gimp-developer@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer
