I'm starting to learn a bit about GIMP and in this process I downloaded some brushes.
For the most part I found brushes with file type gbr and gih. These are recognized by GIMP 2.8.10
Some of the brushes come with file type abr and ggr. These are not recognized by GIMP 2.8.10
Is there some way to make abr and ggr file types work under GIMP?
Working with GIMP under Windows 7.
I'm trying to bind the number keys to specific values for opacity/transparency of brushes, so I embarked for the shortcut key editor where I found that the "set transparency" does exactly the same as "completely transparent".
Is there a way to define what value "set transparency" sets it to? what I'm trying to do even possible with GIMP?
What I want to know is if there is a way to make a hotkey or at all save specific options for specific tools. Let's say I'm using the 'Paintbrush, Opacity 70%, Hardness 075, Size 4.00' as my "standard outline tool". Can I some how save that preference (and any other tool such as "Specific Eraser Op. 100%, Hard. 100, Size 10.00) so that I can easily switch between "Ouline Brush" and "Specific Eraser" . Maybe to the 'f-buttons'
I'd like to be able to make maybe 5 specific tools:-Outline Brush
-Small Eraser
-Big Eraser
-Detailed Color brush
-Big Color Brush.
How do you rearrange the brushes in the brushes box?
I've seen they are arranged by name, so how do you rename the brushes since renaming the file name don't rename the brush.
I've had a simple lisp I've been using for years that suddenly disappeared. It required that you identify a block name, tag name, and the value that you want the tag to be. All of this is performed via command line, so it is scriptable. Since I lost it, I've been experimenting with -attedit. This command comes frustratingly close to what I'm looking for, except it only appends an existing tag, or replaces a specific string within the tag; I can't get it to replace the entire tag, regardless of its value.
1> Any lisp routine that does what I describe?
or
2> How to make -attedit replace a tag value without regard to what the value currently is (like a * wildcard)?
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.

View 2 Replies View Relatedso 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?
View 6 Replies View RelatedSo 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?
View 2 Replies View RelatedRecently 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.

View 5 Replies View Relatedhow 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.
View 3 Replies View Relatedi have no problems installing new brushes when using windows, you simply extract the brushes in the brushes folder of course I am doing exactly the same thing with my linux machine but I cant seem to get the brushes when i restart Gimp in linux. I even tried extracting the brushes in a couple of other folders within the Gimp/brushes folder. Still they fail to appear ?
View 4 Replies View RelatedMy laptop did crash last month so...I was a GIMP 2.6 user and now I have Gimp 2.8 . There's something not right with the custom brush size. I made a round brush 201 X 201 pixels. I also made another one 2001 X 2001 pixels. I did crank up the size of the brushes to the "max"( but no matter what size you choose) and...both are of the same size on the image ???

View 3 Replies View RelatedI used gimp 2.6 for awhile just to do simple isolations for various projects.
Recently my gimp 2.6 crashes while trying to load gradients, so i upgraded to 2.8 and all of the brushes that were in 2.6 are gone and NONE of them have anti-aliasing edges so i can isolate things with fuzzy alpha edges.
how to turn this back on or create a brush that has anti-aliasing edges?
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]
Sometimes (Alot of times) ill go to put a brush down and it comes up all smudged and messed up looking, other times it works. Here's a pic of the error.

View 2 Replies View RelatedIs there a feature where I can take several low- light pictures and use GIMP to compute what is noise and what isn't? The concept is pretty straight forward, and I can see it being part of this software.
