The current value is 1000.0 - in the previous version it was 10.0.Also, up to GIMP 2.6, feaures that ranged from 0 to 1000.0 (like actual brush radius) would vary in a logarithmic way, meaning that if you started with a value of 5.0, small variations close to that would make changes from 2 - to 20.0 --if you started at 500.00, the same small variations could take you to 150.0 - 1000.0 Maybe, simply having the largest brush size as a value in preferences could make up for all use cases. > On 13 September 2012 12:17, Joao S.
