Hello, I was about to write a rather detailed interface/feature improvement suggestion about the brush editing feature in GIMP but then I thought that first it would be better to show you all this (incomplete) interface mock-up I made:
http://i32.tinypic.com/1zwdwts.png Basically, in my vision, the brush editing dockable window would be much more detailed than what is now, containing most settings in common between brush-based tools (and also many new more), which is similar to what happens in other professional bitmap editing programs. Not only this would result in a more powerful brush editing process, but also in a significant reduction of icons in the toolbox. Many of the brush based tools that are there right now would become brush presets, which would work very well with the new tagging feature introduced in the GIT version of GIMP. Obviously backward compatibility with previous brush versions would need to be maintained in some way. If it turns out that brush editing in GIMP is actually going into this direction I'll be happy to describe much more in detail the interface and the behavior of the options and settings I have in mind (unfortunately I'm not an experienced programmer so I cannot explain in detail specific implementation details). -- SHIRAKAWA Akira _______________________________________________ Gimp-developer mailing list Gimp-developer@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer
