One of the features I use most is the brushes. However, when I installed Gimp (2.8) on my new laptop, my favorite brushes no longer work properly:
* they're jagged, pixelated, or the finer lines are interrupted - instead of looking smooth
* I can't change the color of them; they just show up black
I made a comparison of screenshots so you can see. Same brush, same size (even though one version says "scale" and the other "size," I made them both go up to the 100 pixel mark, and you can see that the brush's natural size is larger than that), same canvas size.
On my old laptop, I had Gimp 2.4.1 and the OS was Windows Vista, 32-bit. Here the brushes looked right: [URL]
On my new laptop, I have Gimp 2.8 and the OS is Windows 7, 64-bit. Here, I can't use the color from the gradient, and the brush doesn't look smooth (and the finer lines are interrupted): [URL]
I've recently started creating brushes to share/sell. I scan vintage documents to create brush sets. As the vintage documents often have fading text/illustrations on yellowed backgrounds, I have to really up the contrast. I usually use levels rather than threshold as I prefer the control I get with levels.
Anyway, sometimes the result looks rather jagged. I'm working from high resolution scans.I've noticed if I apply a .3 Gaussian Blur it smooths things out a bit. Does this look normal for a brush?
I have been messing with a simple black rectangle and when I transform it, jagged edges appear. This is the base for a logo for web. I have anti-alising checked in pref. The logo looks horrible and blurry/jagged on the edges even when previewed on several screens from pc to mac.
this is also happening with text, that has been made an object (top of text seen in the rectangle.)
I've been using GIMP for a few years (at beginner skill level). Ok, so I want to take this image (1st pic) and resize it to print on a tshirt. I downloaded the upsize plugin and upsized it. Thing is, it's now got jagged lines all over the place (2nd pic)
I've tried:
1. selection to path, then use stroke
2. blur image, then use curves from the colours menu
3. using the magic selection tool with feathering
none of these got it right.

My photoshop brushes only work on a black background. And they only work as white. I figured it was just the one group, but it isn't. It's ALL of them. Did I do something wrong? Or what's up with it? When I downloaded them, they showed the preview of the brushes in several colors. Yet mine won't work. Why is that? (btw, i'm using photoshop CS1)
Art brushes are showing a grey version of what should be a Rich Black RGB 0, 0, 0,. Furthermore, expanding the art brush stroke and sampling the color shows the strokes "Black" is actually: 32,32,32, pre-expansion the RGB sample shows the stroke is 0,0,0.
Color Mode=RGB Print Proof=NO Document =RGB Display all Blacks, print all Blacks=Rich Black
Options for Art Brush show art brush swatch is Rich Black but using eyedropper (within brush options window) and sampling preview stroke CHANGES swatch preview from Rich Black to Grey.
I'm having an ongoing issue with Lightroom 4.4 when using adjustment brushes in the development module with RAW files from a Canon 5d Mark III Raw on a retina MacBook Pro running OS 10.8.3 When using the adjustment brush to make exposure adjustments, the adjusted area gets covered with tiny black speckles. I see it when trying to darken down highlights or when trying to lighten shadow areas. The heavier the adjustment, the worse the speckles get. I have taken the same original images and opened them in Photoshop and made similar local adjustments with curves and the images look fine, so it's definitely an error with Lightroom inserting the artifacts.
I'm recieving this wierd, almost pixelated burn in my brush whenever I push down my pen onto my Intuos4 tablet. It's happening with ALL of my brushes regardless of presets or whatever kind of textures or effects I have on them. This image is from a fresh document, there are no filters or any other effects running. Just a colored brush producing these weird pixels.
I'm running Adobe Photoshop CS6 on Windows 7 - Intel Core i7-3770K CPU @ 3.50GHz 3.90Ghz - 8Gb RAM - AMD Radeon HD 7700 Series.
I have been working on a large number of sketches. At this stage I am just using the path tool to make the outlines of my cartoons.
I have got fairly confident with the path tool now, however on my first 3 pictures my paths were a mess. The first 3 pictures I stroked the path at 10 pixels, I would like to reduce this to 6 pixels. I am not able to go back to the original paths so I guess I need to select lines from the completed pictures and and convert these to paths, then restroke.
I have been trying to select by colour (it is all black) but that gives me the outline of the black, ie, a double path. I have tried selecting the back ground and expanding it by 2 pixels, this worked but not in tight corners.
Total buffoon when it comes to getting GIMP to do what I want to do. I'm just practicing with making maps, black lines on a white background, and I've run into some issues I'm wondering if I can get rectified.
1) For whatever reason, the line weight of everything has shifted throughout the file, ending with some lines lighter and grayer than others. Is there a way I can get GIMP to trace all the lines in a uniform black, with uniform thickness?
2) I have tried locking the white background, but often when I select and move my black lines, if I don't click in just the right spot it moves the white background instead, which is really, reeeaaaly aggravating. How Do I get that background to be completely untouchable?
3) In trying to colour the image, I've run into problems with their being a white outline between the colour and the black lines. I think I need to sharpen the image or somesuch? How can one correct this issue?
4) Is there anyway to convert the black dotted lines of the paths tools into straight black lines, in regards to an older file? If not, is there an easy way to trace them?
5) I find the scale too tends to make my image too jagged. I want to take a section of my map, move it too another file and enlarge it to do detail work - what's the best way to do this in order to have a clear image?
6) Any way to translate an image from a MErcator Projection ot a Winkell-Trippel projection, one that works on a Mac?
I have gone through the correct procedure for downloading new brushes from Deviantart. On my computer they appear now in my Gimp/brushes folder with the Gimp icon, so I know the file format is correct. I have closed Gimp and restarted..even restarted the computer and cannot get them to show in Brushes with Gimp open on a new project.
I would like to clean up my gimp. I want to get rid of all the fonts and brushes that I have previously downloaded. Is there a way to do this without having to reinstall gimp? (I do not remember which fonts are the default and which ones are not.)
Why I cannnot export brushes in GIMP2.8. Each time I attempt to export the file I get the message telling me the "Saving "C:Program FilesGIMP 2 shareGIMP2.0rushes snow.gbr failed. It says the permission is denied for opening that directory. I have saved brushes before and not had the problem.
so i thought i was smart and created some new brushes. added them no problem (or so i thought) but to my dismay i cannot find my default brushes; the only available ones are those i created. did my saving the new brushes somehow delete the core collection?
So I've finally upgraded to GIMP 2.8, finding that .abr was native. I've downloaded thousands of brushes, only a hundred work, MAYBE. I'm confused because even the brushes that are not in .abr form do not work. Also, sometimes if I try to fix the brushes by uninstalling and reinstalling there will be random ones that work and then old ones disappear?
Recently I have been noticing that while I am drawing on gimp using my tablet at times the brushes start to freak out and just keep rotating constantly.
I cant make a straight line using a rectangle shaped brush. And this happens to all the brushes. It just makes everything look really messy.
I am an avid gamer and like using gimp to make maps for my games. Now I have look all over for a way to make brushes there own layer with out having to go through the hole seal of creating a new layer shrinking it to fit the brush. then having to drag the new layer to were I want it then having to place the brush.
I just wish to place the brush and automatically have it as a new layer. I have been told to look at Gimp::fu but I don't under stand how to do that kind of stuff.
I bought a new computer - still have access to the old one through ssh.The old computer running suse11.3 has many gimp brushes that I made.New computer running suse11.4, gimp 2.6.11How can I get my brushes (the ones I made) over to the new computer/newGimp?
I am using the newest version of Gimp. Everything is great, it runs smooth and not many crashes..But! I cant make brushes or Patterns. in the older versions all you had to do was select what you wanted as a brush/pattern name it, and it would appear
Now, I get this Error: (<unknown> : 18850791) Procedure execution of file-gbr-save failed: Could not open 'C:Documents and SettingsNorseman.gimp-2.8/brushes/mybrush14.gbr' for writing: No such file or directory
Am I missing something? Do I need to reinstall Gimp?I havent loaded any new patterns or brushes, so I dont know why its not working?
i installed it shows up in my python i click it, it shows my brushes i choose the brushes BUT it does not load at all and i even try moved all of my brushes to another folder....is it because of the preferences?
I just saw a video about using photoshop where they selected 'scar-like' brushes and rotated the brush. Is there a way to rotate brushes in Gimp? Also are there any realistic brushes or brush sets out there?
Recently, i installed gimp 2.8 on my Ubuntu OS and found out that lot of factory installed brushes are missing. I had lot of brushes in gimp 2.6 but can't find many basic brushes in gimp 2.8.
i recently upgraded to 2.8 from 2.6 and i'm having a tough time importing my brushes. i've tried creating a custom folder in the 'brushes' folder and exporting them there. i've tried a simple drag and drop. nothing seems to work. am i missing something or is what i'm trying to do impossible?
how change brushes to paint in colour. I have downloaded quite a number and the screen shots before you download them show them in colour but when you go to use them they are all grey scale.
