Yes my dear friends! It is now released.
This is a big news for all brush-lovers, because they’ve added Photoshop .abr brushes support. Now you can have all Photoshop brushes in your GIMP, just get yourself GIMP 2.4 version
another great news it that…
[quote from gimp.org]:
The tool options now include a brush size slider that affects both the parametric and bitmap brushes. This has been an oft-requested feature from both digital painters and photo editors.
Unlike previous versions of GIMP, regardless of whether you’re using a bitmap brush, parametric brush or even a picture tube (mutiple bitmaps), you can easily set the brush size with either the tool options dock slider or an external device such as a MIDI slider or knob or a USB device like the Griffin Powermate.
No problems with too-big-brushes-in-gimp by hawksmont anymore
That is a wonderful information for all GIMP and brushes users. And I just wonder, should I continue releasing .gbr files? Maybe .abr files would be enough? Please share your thoughts
