Hi all,
My opinion about that is the same as shirakawa if we want to do photography retouch and "superexact" works like these, but artisticaly i would prefer something like Martin says. It is more useful for the eye, if we want to make an stroke fast and not acuratly but in the aprox right place.the old method requieres user imagination to preview in his mind what will happen...
but i have to say that i don´t use this "brush outline feature" becouse it makes my gimp sloooooower with complex outlines.So if somebody has the solution for this... i am listening.
best regards

total area of effect, or in other words, the area where pixels will be
affected in a way or another while drawing. The brush outline for fuzzy
brushes (assuming dynamics aren't applied) *looks* too big, but it
actually isn't. This is most evident by drawing a few strokes with the
fuzzy brush on a transparent layer and then adjusting the alpha level
channel on Colors>Levels to coordinates (0;255) .
A more useful patch (in my opinion) for brush outlines would be making
them change together with brush dynamics (even if the user isn't
actually drawing, just moving the cursor on the drawing area) if they
are enabled. This could be useful in many ways, but I have the
impression it would lead to performance issues.
