"gimp-for-painters" (http://sourceforge.jp/projects/gimp-painter/releases) is a patch that adds two more tools that help in making images that feel more like using a paint brush.
Here's another link about it. (http://www.gimpstuff.org/content/show.php/2nd+test+with+gimp+painter?content=101868) It's actually pretty easy to apply the .diff to the ubuntu package. In a terminal and with your source repos open it should be something like: Code: sudo apt-get install cdbs -y && sudo apt-get build-dep gimp -y && apt-get source gimp && wget http://iij.dl.sourceforge.jp/gimp-painter/41325/gimp-painter--20090715.diff -P ~/gimp-2.6.7/debian/patches && cd gimp-2.6.7 && debuild binary && cd && sudo dpkg -i gimp-data_2.6.7-1ubuntu1_all.deb gimp_2.6.7-1ubuntu1_i386.deb (you only need the resulting "gimp" and "gimp-data" packages) The above command should then give 2 new tools in your toolbox. (will look like another paintbrush and ink tool) This is all best used with a pressure tablet. These instructions also work for Karmic and Lucid but can be applied to earlier versions like gimp-2.6.6 and such. Also remember to pin gimp and gimp-data in Synaptic if you don't want an update to overwrite your version. I would imagine that the GIMP devs are looking at a sane way to integrate this. Anyone with solid info please post. -Cory K. -- ubuntu-art mailing list ubuntu-art@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-art
