From GIMP-2.4, all brushes have a variable size.

You can get the brush size varying in three ways:

1. Using the Size slider of the tool options. Pencil, Paintbrush, Eraser, Airbrush, Clone, Heal, Perspective Clone, Blur/Sharpen and Dodge/Burn tools have a slider to vary the brush size.

2. By programming the mouse wheel:

   1. In the main window of GIMP, click on Edit → Preferences.

   2. In the left column of the new window, select Input Devices → Input Controllers.

   3. You can see , with two columns: and .

      In the column , double-click the button.

   4. Then, you see a new window: .

      In the left column , click to get it highlighted.

   5. Click the button (at the bottom middle of the list).

   6. You can see the window .

      Drop-down the item, by clicking the small triangle on its left.

   7. In the left column , click to highlight it, then click the button.

   8. Now, in front of is display .

   9. Close the window.

   10. With the same method, program with .

   11. Don't forget to click the button of the main window of .

   After these somewhat long explanations, you can use your mouse wheel to vary size brush. For example, choose the pencil tool with the “Circle” brush. Set the pointer in the image window, use the mouse wheel, in the two directions, you can see the “Circle” shrinking or stretching.

3. You can program the “Up” and “Down” arrow keys of the keyboard.

   The method is similar to that of the mouse wheel. The only differences are:

   • In the column , double-click .

   • Modul8 serial mac search app. In the column , click for the first key, and for the second key.

   • Then, use the two keys (Up arrow and Down arrow) and the result is the same as you got with the mouse wheel.

Paintbrush is a raster image editor for Mac OS X. It aims to replace MacPaint, an image editor for the classic Mac OS last released in 1988. It also is an alternative to MS Paint. It has basic raster image editing capabilities and a simple interface designed for ease of use. It exports as PNG, JPG, BMP, GIF, and TIFF. The application also is often used for pixel art because of its grid option, and is not made for large scale images or GIMP or Photoshop-like editing on pictures or photographs.

Suppose you have a picture downloaded from a digital camera called pic001.jpg. The file size is about 2,100 KB. This is good for printing a hard copy. But it is too big to put it on your personal Web page. You could use Paint to reduce the picture size and file size. Select Paint menu, then 'Open'. The open dialog box shows up.

Features and capabilities[edit]

It includes a simple brush-based freehand drawing tool, an eraser tool, a select tool, a freehand spray can tool which applies several pixels onto an area instead of just one, a fill tool, a 'bomb' tool that clears the page, a line tool, a curve tool, square, circle/oval, and rounded square tools, text tool, a color picker/eyedropper, and a zoom in/zoom out tool. Zooming in will go up to 1600%, while zooming out will only go up to 25%. There are adjustable stroke sizes which pertain to the brush, eraser, and spray can tools. Stroke size 1 has a width of 1 pixel, and stroke size 10 has a width of 19 pixels. The text tool allows users to select from their computer's font menu. Also, colors can be selected from a palette.

Paintbrush also includes a grid capability which shows each individual pixel on a grid. This option is particularly helpful to pixel artists.

The application includes an invert colors option, and a crop-selected-area function.

It can export all of the universal image formats such as PNG, JPEG, BMP, GIF, or TIFF (though like most applications, doesn't use application-specific formats like Photoshop's .psd or Paint Tool SAI).

Limitations[edit]

The application is purely a 2D bitmap editor, and as such has no vector capabilities. It is also not designed for photo manipulation, and therefore lacks advanced photo editing tools such as saturation, exposure, sharpness, or tint.

It also has a limitation in that the brush, spray can, and eraser will not draw any colors with opacity or transparency.
