I didn't even know you could turn off brush outlines. I took it as a mini-challenge to see if I could work it out. BTW, to create some context for my experience I have been using GIMP since 2003, and designing / "architecting" web sites since 1994. Here's what I found :)
- I first went to the *brushes dialog* and looked all the options (refresh, delete, duplicate, etc). No luck there... - I tried right clicking on the *brushes tab* and all I got was a list of the other docked tabs (Brushes, patterns, Gradients, Fonts, etc). No luck there... - I then went to the *tools menu* and scanned through the options listed there. Nothing. - Then I went to the *Preferences dialog box* from the Edit menu. Scanning through the sections listed on the left, I first tried tool options, Nothing. - Then I went to *Google *and typed in "*turn off gimp brush outlines*". The second result was the one I chose, a link to chapter 11 of the GIMP manual, *Pimp my GIMP*. After doing a text search on the page for *brush out*, I scrolled up to see what section of Gimp was being referred to and found that you can turn off brush outlines in the *Image Windows *section of the *Edit / Preferences *menu. If you look under *Mouse Pointers*, you will see an option allowing you to do this... Not the most intuitive approach, but I did learn something new about the GIMP, though :) Thanks On Wed, Mar 2, 2011 at 14:01, Szabolcs Hideg <negi...@gmail.com> wrote: > If the generated brush outline is too complex, turning it off for that > brush only, or somehow simplify more complex brush outlines would be a > better solution than disabling it altogether in the program settings. > I have created deliberately a brush, which outline slows down Gimp when > drawing.
