GIMP: Custom Brush

This tutorial will show you how to create and add a custom brush into your GIMP program.
This tutorial takes under 5 minutes if you already have made or found an image you want to use as a brush. I'm using GIMP 2.6.



1. Create a new document or open up a picture you'd like to save as a brush.
I started out on a 200x200 pixels big canvas. I did this, and then I cropped it.
2. Make the "Background Layer" invisible by clickin on the eye next to it in the "Layers Dialog" Window" (This is to make the brush transparent, I don't want the background when I use my brush).
Go "File"->"Save as", and save it as a GIMP Brush (.gbr).

In Linux (Ubuntu 8.10) save it in your "/home/USERNAME/gimp-2.6/brushes/" folder.

In Windows XP save it in your "C:\Document and Settings\USERNAME\.gimp-2.6\brushes\
"
4. Select the "Brush Tool" and then click the select brush button, then open the "Brush Selection Dialog" by clicking the brush icon down in the right corner of the popup window.

5. In the "Brush Selection Dialog" click the small, grey arrow in the upper left corner, then "Brush Menu"->"Refresh Brushes".
6. Now you are done, create a new document and test your brush.
This is my result:

  49. Enhanced Comfort within the Story

    Using the conflict appealing disclosure released within the article: "The authors don't have anything to exhibit.In .

    Choice came as being a surprise for me after i begin to see the September-October 2008 issue in the College of Kentucky College of Nursing's Office of Research and Scholarship, which reported obtaining a $5,000 grant to Dr. Ellen Hahn from Pfizer, titled "Reducing Secondhand Smoke Exposure: A Cutting-edge Method of Marketing Cessation." This grant was introduced to become granted by Pfizer to Dr. Hahn and Dr. Karen Butler for fiscal year 2009.

    In addition, it came as being a surprise for me after i begin to see the statement of disclosure for the authors in the American Heart Association working group this year which states Dr. Hahn either offered round the speaker's bureau for, or received an honorarium or honoraria from Pfizer.

    If these comments are accurate - that we don't have unkown reasons to think about they wouldn't be since both seem like reliable assets on these particulars - i rapidly believe these financial associations with Pfizer must have been revealed within the article.
